So... I:

- installed the latst nightly 7.9 on an up to date Windows 10
- installed Squeezelite-X
- installed Spotty
- configured my own client_id to get access to the full playlist
- set the maximum playlist size for LMS to 5000
- played the list on that squeezelite instance
- connected another player and synced the two
- jumped to track 302 in the list

It would just play. Nothing special.

Could you please summarize the issue, what you tried so far, working
versions etc. as I fear I missed some detail in the dozen or so messages...

Minor new feature update: filter explicit content.

In the player settings in the LMS web UI you'll find a new option to deal with explicit content. These tracks can optionally be hidden, or marked as non-playable (they'd still show up in the menus).

Spotty loses connection | Dead Spotty

Howdy

I think, that Spotty was updated automatically maybe half hour ago. I had to restart LMS.
Since then, Spotty is more or less broken.
- It connects to my Spotify client on the PC. i can see my two devices.
- After pressing play, the devices are gone.

Now i restarted LMS again, no difference: Actually it's completely dead.
- The logs on the LMS are clean, no errors.

Btw, sometimes i need to enter the login data for spotify again.

Cheers

I was running Spotify plugin without difficulty, but then I had to change my Spotify password, and then I had trouble accessing my Spotify account. I got that sorted, but now my Boom and Max2Play players don't show up in "connect to a device" in Spotify, and Spotify is blank on the squeezebox players when I try to use it. Was there a post with specific set up instructions for the plugin and Spotify connect somewhere?

What version are you on now?

Nothing has changed in this regard in a few versions. What OS are you
on? What LMS

Please set logging for plugin.spotty to INFO, try again. Probably even
do this, check the "keep at restart" box at the top of the logging page,
then restart LMS. Upload the resulting server.log.

> Btw, sometimes i need to enter the login data for spotify again.

Sounds as if your system had some problem keeping state?

Just go to Settings/Advanced/Spotty, remove the account and add it again.

Thanks as always Michael. That's the one thing I didn't try.

I track by "The Decemberists" played last night in the kitchen ... and I heard words ... so I turned on the explicit content filter this morning and tried to get the same track to play ... and Spotty blocked it because Spotify had the flag set.

Thinking aloud ... how about generalising this now to a LMS feature and have a tag for it so that it could be applied to local music as well?

And how would you tag this so LMS knows it? AFAIK there's no field in the tags to set an "Explicit" flag ...

By inventing one!
Could call it ITUNESADVISORY for other benefits ...
