[Announce] Spotty 2.8.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

[vensi08]

Spotty comes with a helper for ARMv7. Try uninstalling the ARMv8 helper.

I deinstalled the helper for ARMv7, restarted, but still the following error:

"There has been a problem running the Spotty helper application. Most likely your operating system and/or platform is not supported. Please report the following details to me:

This error message appears since I installed Spotty 2.80 with ARMv8Helper v0.20. Deinstalling Spotty and Helper and reeinstalling Spotty without ARMv8Helper does not help. How can I manually install the old Spotty v2.76? Thanks Gerald

I uninstalled ARMv8Helper, rebooted. Unfortunately this error message still appears:

Did you try downloading the old helper as Michael suggested?

Hi Michael,

I too cannot get the new 2.8.0 spotty to work, but that's because I'm on arm-aarch64. Looking through the github history I can't see that this ever existed, but it definitely worked until I upgraded! Here's the necessary details:

Hello Michael,

Unfortunately, your suggestion doesn't work. I still have the following error message from the plugin:

Did you download the file I sent you a link for? Can you run it from a shell? Assuming you moved it to where I told you to move it, what would

ls -l /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/Bin

tell you?

There's another SpottyAARCH64Helper plugin you might need to install.

What OS on what kind of system is this?

Ok, that file isn’t readable nor executable. You need to

sudo a+rx spotty-custom

from inside the folder where you stored the file. Then run

./spotty-custom

to verify it can be run. Then restart LMS.

Hello Michael,

unfortunately I was not successful because the Linux-System in Roomplayer is not complete:

# sudo a+rx spotty-custom
#(does not work: sudo ist not available, but I think I am root-user)

# chmod a+rx spotty-custom
# (works)

# a+rx spotty-custom
# /bin/sh: 18: a+rx: not found

# ./spotty-custom
# /bin/sh: 15: ./spotty-custom: not found

Stopping and starting of LMS on command-line works. I am not an experienced Linux user (Windows 10 User). Thanks for helping.

Also hearing only clicking sounds with Spotty since 2.8.0 on Raspberry PI 3

Hi Michael

I have the same problem. From a few days ago as soon as my system updated to 2.8.0 I only hears clicks - I tried following (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showt...l=1#post938306) but that didn't work.

I'm sorry guys, I fear I've given you a link to broken build... Could
you please try the same procedure with the following file?

https://github.com/michaelherger/Spotty-Plugin/raw/f9eaa55d55372a39e9c6774c6f6bd699c87dfc5a/Bin/arm-linux/spotty-muslhf

- download
- mv spotty-muslhf spotty-custom
- chmod a+rx spotty-custom
- ./spotty-custom

If that works, move it to the Spotty/Bin folder, then restart LMS.

> # sudo a+rx spotty-custom
> #(does not work: sudo ist not available, but I think I am root-user)

Yeah, this depends on the OS. Most Linux flavours support it nowadays.
But I'm not familiar with yours.

> # ./spotty-custom
> # /bin/sh: 15: ./spotty-custom: not found

That would be the response for that broken build :-(.

You're doing great so far! Please keep trying, as this is really helpful
for me to figure out what's wrong. Thanks!
