[Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)

> All of a sudden I see spotty has stopped working on my pi zero.

I'm sorry for that. You're not alone, see the 4.5 announcement thread:

I actually thought Spotty had not worked on the Pi0 all the time! So I
didn't pay much attention to it. I'll see what I can do.

It was working fine till the 4.5.0

I have two installations one using a Pi4 with LMS server and Spotty 4.5.0 along with a Pi0 as a play back device and that works.

A second installation with Pi0 running LMS server and Spotty 4.5.0 and that doesnt work.


Regards
Sanjay

Please head over to the 4.5.0 thread for a solution.

No. Unfortunately Spotify doesn't provide that information over their API.

I found this as a workaround for this:

"As a workaround, you can put them all to a playlist and then you can share it or make it a public playlist on your profile.

The easiest way to do that is using your desktop app:

Go to your Liked Songs,
Select all using keyboard CMD+A (Mac) or CTRL+A (Windows),
Drag them to a new playlist.

The only downside is that you'll have to update that playlist manually every time you would like to add new liked songs or remove them. "

Spotty has a tab "Songs". In my case this shows all the songs I liked!?

I was wondering why songs played with Spotify Connect are not showing in my history. Then they will also not been considered by the algorithm and so my daily playlist don't update with my musical listening history. Is this because Spotty uses Librespot where tracks are not reported and Spotify connect is part of that?

Why Spotify doesn't track this on their end, I don't know.

Thanks for the link, strange that one of the posters (defgianlu) reports not having issues on this part and the API endpoint reports the played songs correctly.

it's a bit of a silly question, I am just curious...
if u look at the attached, the rate seems to have changed. I seem to recall I did either see 320k or sometimes a FLAC rate there... now it's CBR at 16/44 rate. Is that a change in LMS 8.2.0 or something new in the latest Spotty? I updated both pretty much at the same time, so just curious. It's not a problem at all since bandwidth isn't an issue in my environment at all. :-)

Check your transcoding settings: LMS must be using Spotty -> PCM. Did
you disable transcoding to FLAC? Ogg direct (320kbps) would be disabled
if you enabled volume normalization. That's indeed a change in the
latest Spotty.

I didn't change anything - just updated.
