Cannot play Spotify : SPOP command error

Help and Support
1

Hello everybody,
In this period of lockdown, I’ve got some time to spend trying to resolve a Spotify issue.
The problem is that I cannot play Spotify from Volumio.
I can browse my library, when I search an artist I can see the Spotify result, BUT when I try to play any spotify songs nothing happen!
Here the volumio log:

I should say that I’ve alvays had this issue.
I do not have problems on using Spotify connect.
Lately I had made a fresh install with the last image and I’ve installed only the Spotify plugin (not Spotify connect)

Here some info on my system:
Volumio version 2.729
Plugin Spotify 2.0.2
Raspberry Pi 3 B+
DAC HiFi Berry DAC+

Thank you for any hint on this issue,

Carlo

Thank you for your help

hi!
Can you give the content of /etc/spopd.conf please? (remove your credentials :wink: )

Hi, i have the same problem. I can browse my library but unable to play a song.

Just to try to speed this up, I’m taking the liberty of sending my contents of /etc/spopd.conf, hope you don’t mind.

[spop]
spotify_username = xxxxxxxxx
spotify_password = xxxxxxxxx
high_bitrate = true
refresh_token = none
audio_output = sox
pretty_json = true
search_results = 50
cache_path =/run/shm

[sox]
output_type = alsa
output_name = softvolume

Also, in the log, I can see some messages about error in the authentication. I have double checked the credentials. This is the log when I disable/enable the Spotify plugin (2.0.2 version):

FWIW, I just captured this output from the Live Log on the volumio DEV dashboard. Just installed volumio today, from a volumio.org download
