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

[slartibartfast]

Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem but recently I changed language to English(British) in LMS settings and then got 'Failed to get access token' when using Spotty.
Switching back to 'English' fixed the issue

Well that fixed it for me, good spot.

Oh wow... I did notice both reporters were using en_GB. And at first I
thought having en_GB as the locale and US as the country was causing
issue. But that wasn't the case with the request we tested in the
browser. I didn't realize the plugin was sending the "accept-language"
http header - which expects en-gb rather than en_gb. That should be an
easy fix.

Thank you very much for this finding!

A question to Michael / @mherger:
Background:
I dearly miss a feature in LMS to sort playlists...
(I asked here (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showt...light=podcast) for it w/o getting much feedback or interest from others, so I am surprised that this seems not to be an issue for many... (only @castalla asked for something similar...).
I miss it especially in the context of Audio-Books or Podcasts w/ a lot of short entries which are not easily sortable by drag'n'drop on my phone via material... But I am getting OT....)

Here is my question:
I noticed in your spotty plugin github page this update last december:
"Allow sorting playlist tracks by date of addition." https://github.com/michaelherger/Spo...02c3364ef3d6d5
Maybe, this can help already with unsorted AudioBook Playlist in Spotify.

But: I don't know or see a way to enable that sorting option....
-> Can you point me to how to use it / where to enable it?

It's in the player specific Spotty settings in LMS.

When using 'English (British)' in LMS Basic Settings a rescan for 'new and changed files' does not pick up new music added to my Spotify account.
Again using 'English (British)' a rescan using 'clear library and rescan everything' loses all the Spotify content from the LMS library.
Reverting to 'English' and rescanning fixes this bringing everything from Spotify back into the LMS library.

The Scanner log had the following when using 'English (British)'

Anyone else seeing this? I'm using latest Spotty and latest LMS 8.3 on Pi4 with latest piCorePlayer acting as server and player.
