Are you saying you had to this depsite having enabled the fallback in
Spotty? Did you restart LMS before applying the above?

I'm asking because using Spotty's option spotty shouldn't even be using
the above host. Your change should not have any impact in that case...

I did restart (testet both restart of LMS and then also the docker container to be completely sure). After the change to fallback URL (+restart), I could play Spotify from LMS webinterface. But using Spotify Connect caused tracks to skip.

Do want me to retest and send you a log file? If so, do you want debug or info level for Spotty.plugin?

You might actually be right! I don't know how technical you are. But a guy who can edit a hosts file certainly can edit a script file, too . Could you please try to apply the following change to your Spotty installation?

Basically add that "forceFallbackAP" section at line 84 of Connect/Daemon.pm inside your Spotty installation. Then restart LMS _without_ the change to the hosts file. Would it work now? If not, could you please add INFO logging for plugin.spotty, turn off/on Connect for some player, try again, and send me the resulting server.log.zip?

Don't forget to reset the logging.

I added the new code and it WORKS I also did a test and removed it again. Then it stops working so new code is really needed!

Very happy to get this sorted. My current setup is using piCorePlayer with Allo DigiOne. Quality is superb, and very useful to have an old Ipad 1 displaying the currently playing song while using Mac or mobile to choose songs.

Br,
Morten.

Works for me too. Thanks for fixing / working around it.

Hello everyone,
I am based in France. It's been a week since Spotty stopped working for me.
It tells me that the credentials are missing. When I try to login again it says: Authorization failed
I'm not sure I have the skills to apply the changes recommended by Mickaël.
Is there a patch or update planned?
Thanks for your help
Feeback

Did you try using a Spotify app on your desktop computer or mobile phone
to authenticate? Rather than entering credentials manually?

What change I recommended? If you wanted to try the "fallback AP", then
there's a simple checkbox in the Spotty settings to do so.

[Feeback25]

That's it, everything works again after using Sotify connect on PC

However, I don't see a checkbox for "fallback AP"





I was talking about the script modifications you mentioned earlier

Great!

> However, I don't see a checkbox for "fallback AP"

Oh, that would only be available once you're authenticated, in
Avancé/Spotty.

Ok, I found it
Thank you Mickael
