If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:

1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

Having the same issue

I have Windows, Conda PY 3.10 running last votify version

The workaround seems to be setting the PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION environment variable to "python". In Windows command prompt, just enter "set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python" before running votify.

Sadly, I then get a librespot 403 error which seems to be a separate issue.
