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

[san9jay]

Spotty not working on family members devices

Thank you for developing the fantastic Spotty plugin.

I am using the Latest version available of LMS 8.0.0 - 1591685001 on windows 10
Using Spotty plugin 4.1.2.

I have a Squeezebox boom, two raspberry Pi0 running Picoreplayer 6.x and a Denon-DRA800H amplifier.
The Denon has native Spotify support the other devices are enabled for spotify using the Spotty plugin on LMS.

I have a spotify premium account and i had enabled that account on the Spotty plugin and it all works well for my devices using my spotify account.
When i use the spotify app on my laptop or phone all the devices are visible and work fine.

I have a family spotify account and my children are registered using their own spotify accounts linked to my spotify family account.

Unfortunately none of my children's devices can see any of the playback devices working via the Spotty plugin. They can only see the Denon which has the native spotify support.

I tried to add their accounts on the spotty plugin but that did not help. The spotty plugin help says that an authorization will show up on the spotify app, however that never happened using spotify on mac osx, spotify on android or spotify on ios.

Any ideas?


Regards
Sanjay

Works great except for Spotify Connect

Hi,

Using Spotty v4.0.3 and ARM6/7 helper v0.12 with Pinkdot's 7.9.2 on a DS212+ (that's a lot of information in one sentence ). Everthing works fine but i can't get Spotify Connect working. My player isn't visible on Androids, iPhones and Spotify app on Windows 10.

Server.log says only this:
[20-04-30 15:21:29.5542] Plugins::Spotty::Connect:aemon::_checkStartTimes (118) The spotty helper has crashed 3 times within less than 5 minutes - disable local announcement of the Connect daemon.

I think this local announcement is disabeled (box is ticked on 'Don't announce Squeezebox players running in Spotify Connect mode in your network. Check this option if you don't want your Spotify Connect enabled Squeezebox player to show up in all Spotify apps in your network.' in Advanced > Spotty. But isn't this exactly the reason why i can't see the player?

It used to work, can't tell you exactly what changed, not a lot i guess...

Thanks in advance!
Mark

Just wanted to pop in to say how happy I am about the Spotty plugin. What a great piece of work! I was about to give up on my Squeezebox Radio, but have never been able to find a device better suited for my girlfriend who just wants to push preset buttons or select her Spotify playlists using the menus on SB.

I also wanted to ask a question: Spotty should now support the dynamic playlists. Can anyone tell me how I get access to "Daily mix" on my SB Radio? The menus just shows albums, (regular) playlists and artists, even though I have upgraded the Spotty plugin to 2.8.1.

Not sure if this has been pointed out but if you follow the "Your Daily Mix #" they will appear in Spotty playlists

What has changed in your environment? Did you install any update to the
system? Any plugin update? Did you install additional software? Or a
change in your network?

I have uploaded the log file.
The only thing that has been "changed" is that a google home device is added to the network which also uses spotify. though i have unplugged the device because i thought it might interfere with spotty... nothing else has changed.

reinstalled LMS on my NAS, and its working again!

I guess that's a Synology with the official beta build? You should try
pinkdot's.

Hello All,

Spotty 4.0.1 here, on Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 168 on my NAS.

Suddenly, Spotty doesn't work anymore, you click it and nothing happens.

Spotty is accepted in the devices list of "spotify".

I have not changed anything at all.

When i press the spotty icon on my squeezebox touch it keeps on starting the app but nothing happens. Also I cant start the app from my logitech mediaserver or my mobile spotify app.

I have checked the spotify connect tab.

What am I missing here? Can somebody please help me because Spotty is my big friend!

Uh... oh... I believe I accidentally distributed a test build of the
spotty helper: I haven't released the version 0.35.9 you're using yet.

I've indeed been working on a new build which unfortunately likely will
remove the Ogg direct option again. The librespot don't seem to be
willing to merge the change upstreams. And it's becoming difficult for
me to keep up with the librespot changes while maintaining the Ogg
direct patch :-(. Therefore the build 0.35.9 I accidentally pushed out
to you and others no longer supports Ogg streaming.

Updating to Spotty v3.99.10

Noticed when I updated to Spotty v3.99.10 in 'File Types' 'Ogg Vorbis' is disabled, Spotty playback now always converts to flac on my setup (as in 'File Types' I have 'Spotty FLAC' enabled) not just when I've scrolled part way through a track. If I revert to v.3.99.9 Ogg Vorbis file type becomes available again.
Not a problem at all, still listening to the music just thought I would report. I'm using PCP v6.0.0 as server and player and latest LMS 8.











As always thanks for all the work you do on this.

Hi Michael,

well... it's back... who knows.

Anyway, I had not made any changes on the LAN, and Spotify isn't expired.
Platform is Debian, recent and updated, for what is worth.

Sorry to have asked for help for nothing...
