Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)

[Triode]

Can anyone help with this? I get this message whenever I try to list playlists on Spotify using the plugin on the web interface. Then after that the browser shows: There was an error loading the remote feed for : (Connect timed out: Bad file descriptor). Restarting the squeezebox server just results in the same error again.

Sample of log:

Do you have the next bit of the log as this does not include fetching any playlists.

I get that message every now and then and when I look at the Settings/Plugins/Spotify/Settings page it looks alright but it does not show that I'm logged on to Spotify. I enter my Spotify password and press Apply a few times and when the settings page confirms that I'm logged on to Spotify everything works ok again. If that does not work I wake it up by entering the wrong password and hit apply and once it complains about not being able to log on I just change to the right password and hit apply and everything works ok again. Not a great solution but since I have no sound on the radio anyway I haven't bothered to look further for a solution at the moment.

Great plugin!
I have a Spotify playlist with 222 entries. When scrolling on my controller to the last in the list, track 22 is played and not 222. If I select track 221 track 21 is played etc.

Thanks for getting back about this. No, unfortunately, I don't. Strangely, it's working OK now.

I wonder if it's anything to do with the playlists not having been updated on Spotify. I'd created a few in the Spotify client application and then gone into the Squeezebox web interface to try and play them on my Classic player. The new playlists were not shown earlier when it wasn't working, but now that it is working it's listing the new playlists. However, I've just tried creating a few more playlists in Spotify and, although they're not yet listed by the plug-in, I have no problem viewing and playing any of the others.

Yes it seems to take some time to make them available. Are you using the latest version of the plugin as the last two release included some playlist fixes.

I've just posted another version to the repository which should be available for download now.

Changes in this version are:
- added support for starring tracks through context menu and through shuffle icon on Touch for radio/random mixes
- controller playback
- improved playback ui interaction (should now be able to press play from album/playlist level and play the whole album/playlist)
- improved randomness of artist mixes
- fix playlist artwork for IE users
- display error message on search which returns no results
- attempt to automatically start ppc binary on 10.5 macs (workaround to libspotify not working on intel 10.5 mac)
- other internal changes aimed at improving cases causing playback to fail

The most signifcant new feature in this release is the ability to star/unstar tracks from the context menu. I've introduced this as I find I want to mark tracks I like when listening to radio streams or similar artist streams, but don't necessarily want to go searching for them at that time. By using the spotify star mechanism, this should be synchronised with your spotify library and you can then go and search for these artists in more detail later - either through the plugin or using another spotify client. On Touch using the touch skin when it is playing a spotify radio stream you can star a track, just by touching the "thumb's up" icon. When playing a non radio stream you can do this via the context menu as the shuffle icon is required. All other cases you can star the track using the context menu.

As I think this is now geting close to feature complete I'm calling it 1.0rc1 and will be looking to call it a release soon... I'll put it in the main 3rd party list at that point so people don't need to have my test repo listed on their plugin page.

Thanks for people for testing upto this point - please keep posting bugs here as there are definately more to find (it's getting quite complex to support 3 different platforms and multiple os versions.) Specifically please post any major bugs with this version so I don't move to release without fixing them.

Seems like this is THE plugin to get! Thanks!

I just moved my music to my qnap and of course I'd like to stream Spotify thru the squeezeboxes as well.

I started to read the thread from the top and after a while backwards from the bottom. As a relative newbie, please advise - Is the first post still valid in order to get it up and running? Is there any more important info hidden in the thread somewhere? Thanks in advance!

Again - Thanks for helping me getting the music experience I want!

Suggest you restart your squeezebox server - this is saying it can't resolve dns requests.
