You need to install lame on your computer for this option to be enabled.

Oh, now understand!

[fominator]

> This is VERY good news. Will be waiting.

If you feel comfortable editing a text file: open custom-convert.conf in
Spotty's installation folder (see Settings/Information), and un-comment
the last three lines (remove the # from the start of the lines).

Hm, will try! Thank you.

[fominator]

un-commented! works fine! i think it was unnecessary to remove Vorbis format! for some networks it's very good option! but anyway direct streaming is much better! will be waiting! great plugin by the way! thank you!

I have the Sky 2 album by Sky from Spotify near the top of my New Music list. It was added long before other albums. I am not sure when this started but it was fairly recently.

Hmm I added another local album and Sky 2 from Spotify has again risen to number 2 in the New Music list. It was also number 2 before I added the latest album so it has leapfrogged the album which was previously above it.

There's an option in the mobile clients to "only show local speakers" or
similar. Make sure this isn't enabled.

So that was enabled, but disabling it picked up just one of the 4 players in this house.

I decided to reinstall the plugin from scratch. The Spotty Authorisation is also not visible. I can log in manually, but this doesn't help with having connect work. All the spotty.exe helpers are running, the firewall is open for inbound connections for spotty.exe on all ports on both UDP and TCP (nothing in outbound though).

THis used to work very well and then gone on all account in the house.

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/custom-convert.conf I read

spt pcm * *
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 320 --disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$

Is it possible to alter sample rate for output to other than 44100 from this command string, or do we need to pipe into sox?

No.

Hi

I am running Spotty 4.4.8 on LMS 8.1.1 on Windows Server 2012R2.

Spotify through LMS works ok.

Spotify connect has stopped working for some reason a few weeks ago. No Connect devices are visible in the Spotify apps on the network. I do not have "don't announce on network" ticked. The firewall ports are open for the spotty helper app.

Following on from this, I have reinstalled Spotty from scratch. When I try to authenticate the Spotty players in the Spotty phone app, the no Spotty player does not appear. My logs finally are showing something:

The request to add a choice of album or track gain has been added to librespot as detailed here
https://github.com/librespot-org/lib...commit-71acb79
Would it be easy to update Spotty to include this?
