Can't register Spotify? Sticks on loading screen

[s2kiwi]

I'm not 100% sure i"m doing this right... but something seems broken.

I have added the official Spotify app and also the 'Spotify Protocol Helper' app on my local server. I've then logged in with my details on the Helper in settings. (All good up to this point)

However, I've then gone to mysqueezebox.com, added the Spotify app and tried to log in... however it won't load/authenticate. I submit my details and the 'loading' spinner appears and just spins and spins.

I've tried different browsers on both my laptop and phone, same behavior everywhere.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?


Edit: I've even tried setting up a new mysqueezebox account and doing that step first, but still it gives no response.

Same problem here. Anyone?

Im also having the same problem. I had to change my password for security (as directed by Spotify - my account got hacked).

Since then, i have not been able to log into my spotify accoount in mysqueezebox. Loading spinner just keeps going forever.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up. At first I thought this was related to the
partial outage we experienced yesterday. But no, I can reproduce it
today, too. Will look into this asap.

(But technically, it actually _is_ related to the partial outage. Just
not the way you'd think. Never mind :-))

I bought the squeezebox last week second hand. Asked the previous owner to delete his spotify account in MSB, but it didn't help.

Your help is much apriciated.

Ok, this was the result of some ongoing teardown of Spotify's libspotify
support. The end of Spotify on SB as we knew it seems to be getting
closer every day :-(.

Within the next few weeks/months you might need to switch to using LMS
with a 3rd party plugin in order to play Spotify on the Squeezebox.
Streaming directly from mysb.com will no longer be working.

And will Spotify end with an UE Smart Radio either?

For some reason it started working right now. Hopefully not for just a few weeks..........

Yes.

Unfortunately Spotify is very clear about the end of support for the library we're using.

If you're using LMS, then my Spotty plugin might be an alternative.
