Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)

[Triode]

Ok i did som tests. First when i ran spotifyd it complained about missing libFLAC.so.8. I made a symlink to /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.8 in the spotify plugin directory and now it complaines about wrong ELF class.

Don't understand that - I suspect a symlink is not what ia32 libs is expecting. Does anyone here know more about 64bit dependancies on linux?

You either need libFLAC (and all other dependencies) in 32-bit, or you
need spotify in 64-bit. A mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit in one running
process is not possible.

Ok I c... But is there a way to make spotifyd look for libFLAC in /usr/lib, instead of it's native directory?


Update: I found a 64bit libspotify, and i tried just to replace the 32 bit version in your app, but it gave me an error about ELF64 bit and so......

Will this file help you to make a 64 bit version? http://developer.spotify.com/en/libspotify/overview/

Looking at the dependencies of spotifyd, it's just the libFLAC.so which must be made available on my Debian GNU/Linux box for 32-bit, all other dependencies are covered by the ia32-libs. So, if the author cannot supply a spotifyd in 64-bit, using libFLAC in 32-bit seems the easier way.

I was trying to avoid building 64bit as the server does not have an easy way of distributing both types of binary for linux. What's confusing me is that it runs on a 64 unbuntu VM I have... (my main server is 32bit)

Easy solution in the short term could be to put a 32bit version of libFLAC in the binary folder? (the binary has as an elf setting added to make it search $ORIGIN first for shared libraries which means it looks first in the same place as the binary)

All the problems thus far seems to be with linux versions - has anyone tried the windows version....? Must admit I thought I needed to make a windows version work before I posted anything.

Is there any interest in osx before I look at porting to that?

the main issue i encountered when playing a song in a playlist, it seems to repeat the same song over and over again instead of playing the next song

I run into the same problem (Windows version, Vista).
Looks like some playlists behave differently than others;

Img1 - Playlist that works
Img2 - Playlist where songs will repeat until manual change of song
Img3 - Playlist that won't work at all

But in all: I'm so pleased over this plugin!

Yes, this sounds easiest.

How many songs are there in each playlist? I have found that strange things happen with long lists but I through it was only cosmetic (due to not caching enough entries in the pseudodatabase).

Stefan - what confuses me is that it works on an ubuntu 10.04 64bit VM and this looks to only have the 64bit version of libFLAC installed. So I thought ia32 could handle this.
