Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)

[)p(]

OK - will look at this (or making it an option). Issue will be that if its available for iPeng then it will also be on Touch/Radio UIs which does not make much sense to me - so will probably consider it as an option.

Thats true about the touch/controller...because of that an option would be best. If you set it off by default then only those who want it can turn it on.

Is it possible to use this in an offline mode?

No - I am afraid there is no support for offline mode in the libspotify library it uses. You will find however that the bandwidth used is less than you expect if you listen to the same album multiple times as it makes use of a cache of audio data on your hard disk.

Does the library have an option to specify the max number of disk space it can use like the spotify app has?

Not that I've found... Documentation is here: http://developer.spotify.com/en/libs...s/modules.html - doesn't seem to have this option.

Hi,
I am having problems with this on an old AMD K6 II running debian lenny.

When I try to execute spotifyd, I get the following:
-----------snip----------
[23:19:06.440327] main:325 InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotify/Bin/i386-linux/spotifyd 1.0.5 started
[23:19:06.445648] main:345 Config: username: xxxxxx cachedir: /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/spotifycache bitrate: 320 httpport: 9001 cliport: 9090
Illegal instruction
------------snap--------------
I do not find the "Illegal instruction" message if I try to redirect the output to a log-file. I gather that this message actually points to an illegal opcode in the compiled binary. I have read somewhere that this plugin is intel only, but it seems that other people get it to run on AMD cpus also?

My cpu:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K6-2
(guess it is time to upgrade...)

best regards,
Øyvin

Many thanks for a great app!

Everything working fine except "Top 100". I´t just says "No search results found", both in Artist, Album and Tracks.

I´ve searched for this problem without luck.

This problem exists both in squeezebox server and Ipeng.

First of all, I can not express in words how very interesting this is

Installed the plugin on my debian (latest stable) machine and worlked with a couple of quirks.

1) Had to create the file /var/log/squeezeboxserver/spotifyd.log and change owner of the file to squeezeboxserver:nogroup, as the deamon didn´t seem to be able to create it.

2) Had to install libFLAC. "sudo apt-get install flac" (as you said)

Then i tried the same stunt on my brother´s machine. Same debian installlm different hardware (intel althoug on both). Seems like spotifyd has problem using the network stack on this machine.

Sorry - don't understand this, there's clearly something wrong working with the networking stack - do you have a firewall which could be causing this?

The sockprintf errors are for the connection between squeezebox server and the helper app, spotifyd. As this is all internal to the one machine, there's something going on in this machine.

What country code do you have set in the settings menu. This defines which toplist you see. It could be that this is set to a country which you are not able to see? (I was hoping you did not need to set this, but the current spotify library appears to have a bug which means I can't just get the toplist for the current user's location, we need to ask for one by country code)
