If there was a more recent version of Max2Play, then yes, I'd ask you to
give it a try. I will try on my end as well. Thanks for the testing!

FWIW: just downloaded the latest max2play version (Jessie based), and
Spotty is working just fine.

Yeah, thought that this would be the problem :-(. And I have no idea how
to build for an older glibc...

I've now updated the OS and reinstalled LMS from scratch. Interestingly, it still won't start. I'm still getting the message:

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: Debian / armv7l-linux

however there has been a step forward, I can start Spotty from the command line

Let me know you would like me to investigate anything

[Man in a van]

A few questions though...

I was under the impression that a Spotify Connect implementation would be visible on the official Spotify mobile/desktop app as a selectable device, and that some Spotify Connect features like "Your Daily Playlist" would be available.
However, I think I don't understand how the Spotify Connect API works. Both of my assumptions seem to be untrue... :-)

Best regards,
Dennis.

I too, thought as Dennis, but it's a bit different with this implementation

Here is my Desktop spotify



If I connect to MoOde, I get this



and the LMS connection gives me this



However both the Radio and Boom are working independently





and also work in Sync

I'm running LMS on piCoreplayer

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1488878280 @ Tue Mar 7 09:28:02 UTC 2017
Hostname: MotherspiCorePlayer

so all good at the mo

Well done MH

What if you run from armhf-linux?

You should only see Spotty listed in Spotify while the authorization
process is running. During playback you shouldn't see it. Do you?

Feeling brave this morning. It installed first time just as described and plays great so far on my Pi3/Raspbian/LMS7.91 system. Will report any snags here.

Very many thanks Michael

Hi expecting.. I'm also trying to use with max2play. Are you using an original pi B. I'm confused by the first message saying arm7 and the second (uname -a) showing arm6
also when you updated the OS did you use a fresh max2play install with jessie?

I'm trying to get the max2play devs interested and have opened a thread on max2play forum. Your input would be welcome obvs

Shared in our forums: https://www.max2play.com/en/forums/t...fy-lms-plugin/

We recommend using a current version of Max2Play based on Jessie lite in order to have version-specific issues minimized.

Thank you Michael, what a great effort and superb achievement. Works super swift and very well here
