The Spotty Spotify implementation

[slartibartfast]

It's where the binary has been built... I didn't manage to get cross-compiling the static version working. Now I'm doing it on a Pi3. Takes a bit longer, but is working just fine.

Michael, Spotty seems to have stopped working. Any idea what has happened?

with 0.5.0 / 0.6.0 I get the new spotty-menu, but when I select an item (e.g. "Top tracks") it only loads an empty page

I tried deauthorizing / reauthorizing, did not change anything. I deauthorized the reinstalled v0.6.0 after this it appears, that I can't authorize again.

As many have reported librespot (the library used by Spotty) stopped working. There's now a workaround. But I fear it's only temporary :-(.

0.6.1 comes with the latest librespot change and should work again.

Here the same problem: no Spotify with Spotty, what is happened ?

Now back on the official Spotify app with the protocol handler, and that works.

0.6.1 working here.

Someone has to ask . . how long have we got this time?

[Giza2020]

I thought librespot was the one Spotify were setting up as the solution moving forwards, or are all the 3rd party solutions based on hacked Spotify outputs that are destined to fail?

I think maybe only Spotify connect will be the official solution or am I wrong?

[pippin]

Librespot is a hacked spotify connect library.
Spotify Connect is changing right now, let's see how it evolves.

All I need now is for someone to spend a day of their life to type a "how to build LibreSpot on Raspbian Jessie" or point me to a sensible link

Why would you want to compile yourself?

Get Rust on your Pi: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html
Clone the repository.
Run "cargo build --release"

Ahh, Michael, one of the things I don't sometimes understand, is the words

As well as LMS (which I am really pleased with, especially the work and support given by yourself, bpa and some of the other inmates) I like to try and learn.

Currently I run MoOde Audio Player with Spotify-Connect and I have also done a Raspbian Jessie-Lite install with Squeezelite and Spotify-Connect. I followed instructions from other threads in different forums.

I have been using the download from here,

https://github.com/herrernst/librespot/releases

which is a fork (does that just mean a copy, or if there is an alteration to any thing,I don't know) of the build from here.

https://github.com/plietar/librespot

I just thought it would be worth a try at doing it myself (I still have a few remaining strands of hair which are in need of a good pull).

Thanks for the advice, I'll see what I can do.

Still can't get Spotty to work with LMS on Qnap in Docker Container

Still can't get QNAP to work - Spotty menus are there but no sound :-). See my previous post - no responses to it. Anybody any suggestions?

Can't get Spotty to work on Qnap (LMS in Docker Container)
I can't get Spotty to work in my LMS installation. It shows up in the menus just fine, and I can browse Spotify and play a song, but no sound .

This is my set-up.

QNAP TS-453A with QTS 4.3.3 (latest firmware, 64 bit Intel).
LMS 7.9.0 in Docker Container using ContainerStation (logitech/justifiably using Debian). That works fine for my regular music play on SBT and SqueezePlay.
Uninstalled Triode plug-in.
Configured Spotify credentials using Spotty Plug-in settings in web interface.

Spotty shows up under My Apps, as stated I can browse Spotify and play songs but no sound.

These are the only messages in LMS log file:
