    Just want to confirm this is working. Had to repurpose an rpi as the lms server, as the new spotty app won't run on my ds209. Now Spotify is up again (with all artists) and still able to connect to my own library on the synology.

    Thanks again!

    I love the way I can connect all my touch boxes, the use Squeezeplay on computer and if we have a party use the Radio as an extra speaker in the garden or wherever.

    So spotty here we come!

    Yes followed the instructions, lost a bit but then realised that it can take time for the plugin to appear.

    Yes it works a treat. SO MANY THANK YOU's

    Spotty is the answer? I hope so.

    Maybe the Chromecast connect solution may be a solution? But surely, it can't it can't match the sound quality?

    Otherwise perhaps resort to ripping from Spotify (naughty!) and adding to my NAS, but I didn't post that.
    You did see this?:

    It's both Squeezebox and UE SmartRadio. They missed that part and should
    update their posting any moment.

    Got the mail today from Spotify telling me it'll be removed. Will it just be removed from devices running SqueezeBox, or is it being removed from the SmartRadio platform too?

    I'm not running a media server in order to set up Spotty.

    Partial Spotify artist list

    Hi Michael,

    Thank you for your tireless work. Recently I've encountered the incomplete artist list in Spotify when connecting to my account through LMS.

    I tried the api lookup you suggested some time ago and got normal results. When I follow a new artist through Spotify on LMS, the artist appears as followed in my spotify account, but I still see a random subset in my LMS spotify list. Playback and all other functions still perform as expected. Please advise.

    Thanks, changing account in SPH helped. It would be really nice if the multiple account approach also worked for TIDAL. I'm considering switching to TIDAL when libspotify stops working or preferably before because I hate the spotify android app. But, I need to be able to have different accounts.

    The new implementation indeed allows more than one account (see attachment). I've used it successfully with this setup for a couple of months but yesterday all of a sudden I can't play "köket" or "vardagsrummet" at the same time as "Jonathan" even though they are set up with different accounts. I can play "arvids radio" and "jonathan" at the same time.

    I will check how I have set up Spotify Protocol Handler but I haven't changed anything.

    If A and B are connected to mysbc it's possible: the account Spotify Protocol Handler on LMS used and the account that C uses must be 1) the same and 2) different from A and B.

    I don't even remember the old implementation. But the new one, which has
    been in place for 18 months or more, never supported more than a single
    account. Don't know how you did this before. Are you using the Spotify
    Family plugin?

    I have three different spotify accounts registered on mysqueezebox.com

    (A) is on a radio and a touch
    (B) is on a different radio
    (C) is on a rpi2 running squeezelite

    This have been working just fine for a while but all of a sudden I can't play (A) at the same time as (C). I can play A/B together and B/C. If I start the radio running A when C is playing it says that it can't play because someone else is using that account. However, A and C are different accounts and they are not running on any other devices.

    Any suggestions? I'm considering running the thirdparty plugin for the A instead. Can that be run at the same time as the official app?
