Spotify search fails.

[mandryka]

Searching for Mozart gives me "General transient error message " Searching for Beethoven gives me a screen showing artists, albums and tracks. But each one of these gives the error message.

Using LMS v 7.8.0 on Windows 10. Searching with ipeng HD and squeezepad on an iPad.

[Tex]

Same error

I just tried a search with a GUI interface and Triode's plug in with the same response. LMS 7.9.

[usc95]

Bummer, me too

[d6jg]

Yep. Here as well but "Recent" still seems to work

[d6jg]

It's working again now. Must have been a server issue which they have fixed

[d6jg]

Spoke too soon

[d6jg]

Now the "Recent Artists" etc are also failing with the same error but Spotify is still working in conjunction with Smart Mix

[Giza2020]

Yep same error on search here .. is this a sign of things to come and the end is nigh??

[d6jg]

I think it has reached EOL
I have just switched to the official app.
Having read the Triode plugin thread in 3rd Party Software you can install both and use the official app to navigate and control players that don't have official player support in the official plugin (as long as you have Triode's plugin on LMS)
I can confirm it works very nicely and if you use iPeng you can hide away the Triode plugin menu item.

[Giza2020]

Agreed it's a brilliant solution

[mandryka]

I'm glad there's a solution but I'm not sure what to do. I have two plugins showing for spotify, the Logitech one and the Triode one. Both are enabled. Do I disable the triode one and keep the Logitech one enabled?

[Giza2020]

You need both, you need it installed it on mysqueezebox.com and all log in info needs to be put in there and also ensure its enabled in the lms plugins.

In the lms triode plugin untick the box 'to show my radio' so the triode spotify app doesn't block the offical one from showing up

Find the offical app (green icon) and use that UI and the unofficial will do the playing

Same here, no more searching

Thanks Triode for a wonderful plugin which has served me very well over the years!!!

Don't ask me why, but for some reason I decided yesterday to upgrade the Spotify plugin from 2.2.X to the latest 2.3.9. Big mistake it seems.
Everything still works but searching doesn't. I'm only getting "General transient error", it works on occasion but very rarely.

I've posted logs below, but not sure what they looked like before when searching was working fine, so not sure where to start.
Tried manually installing an older version of the plugin, which just kept skipping tracks and didn't show up in my squezzebox control.

I have a workaround though where I add a playlist throught the official app in my phone, which I subsequently can run with the Spotify plugin over SSOTS

Seems to be a problem where the plugin compiled on a glibc 2.7 system, whilst mine is running 2.6, not sure that's the whole problem.....

Help greatly appreciated!

I don't have a box which says 'to show my radio' in the triode app. I have one which says "Show in My Apps" but if I uncheck that I don't see any spotify icon at all. I am using a squeezebox classic.

After you uncheck the box in Triodes settings you need to enable the official Logitech plugin on your server and also add it on mysqueezebox.com. When you add it on mysqueezebox.com you will also be prompted for your Spotify credentials. Put those in and save them and you should then be good to go. You will have both Triodes plugin and the official plugin installed but only the official one should show up under My Apps. Use that one to navigate and search. When you select the music to play it will still use Triodes plugin to actually play the music - this is why you can still listen to Spotify on your older devices like the squeezebox classic.
