[Announce] Spotty 2.0.0 - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

[slartibartfast]

LMS is 7.9.1 latest, installed 30 mins ago.

LMS is on a Pi with piCorePlayer, not M2P, but that shouldn't make a difference.

Spotty updated to latest, 2.1.8, 30 mins ago.

Just installed latest 7.9.1, uninstalled and reinstalled 2.1.8 and still see this when attempting a player switch.

Inside the app have you switched off 'looking for local players only'?

It doesn't seem to matter how that is set. I have tried both settings.

Mine switches players, but mutes the volume.

Did you do as you're told: play some music, then select the target player?

I've seen the volume issue, too. But I can't reproduce it at will. Will
keep investigating.

There's not much you have to do: just install the plugin like any
plugin. Then go to Settings/Advanced/Spotty to authenticate.

Yes music was playing when the message popped up.

Updated LMS to last night's 7.9.1 & tried again. Same issue stuck at starting & nothing in the log.

I'll give up now.

If it ain't broke...

Why is there no mention of this in the announcement? Not that it makes any difference to me as I can't even start LMS with the plugin installed.

Just tried installing Spotty on my Windows 7 laptop and see exactly the same issue. This makes no sense.

Just to be clear I can switch between non squeezebox players as many times as I like but as soon as I select a Squeezebox I am stuck.

I have just tried installing spotty 2.1.0 and still see the issue. I can't help thinking this coincides with Spotify ending support for other connect enabled devices but for some weird reason it only seems to affect me. [emoji20]

In the last few days I have noticed that switching between squeezebox players in the Android Spotify app is impossible. Does this still work for you? It was working perfectly until last week.

Update. If anyone else using the Android Spotify app could also check whether switching between players works for them that would be very helpful.

Ok, I guess it depends on how you define "it works". I never used this so I tested this as you requested.
I still had Spotty 2.1.1 running and first tested with that. Both Connect targets are SB Touch, both were turned on beforehand, not playing anything. Used the Spotify app on my phone to Connect to one touch, played fine, then switched to the other Touch. The first stopped playback (but kept it's position) and the second one started playing from the time when I switched. Did this a couple of times without problems.
Upgraded to Spotty 2.1.8. Restarted LMS and both Touch'es. I can still switch between them in the same way, but now every time the Touch I switch TO get's it's volume set to zero. If I turn up the volume it plays normally. I tried this 5 times and the same behaviour. The target touch plays, but with the volume set to zero.

So, yes I can switch between players, but have to turn up the volume every time I do that.

The volume is a known issue but at least switching works in that you can actually switch. Looks like it is just me.
