New 2023 Spotify Plugin

Further clarification of the issue I reported yesterday (and otherwise the plugin is working very well).

Logs: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/GUnl8Tm.html

Raspberry Pi4
USB DAC (Topping d10s)
Volumio v3.546 Premium / Spotify 4.0.1
Official RPI 7" display
Restarted Volumio before this test

Behaviour:

  • Play track from library - ok
  • If no library track playing, play track from Spotify connect - ok
  • Play track in library and then, whilst still playing, select a Spotify track - carries on with library track.
  • Then stop library track and select Spotify track - ok again
  • Sometimes an Alsa error (failed to open, Volumio busy) when selecting a library track whilst playing a Spotify track. Clicking the library track again plays track properly,

In summary, does not stop me switching between Spotify and other sources (which was more of a problem with the old plugin), but not 100% yet.

EDIT:

  • When playing a library file and then selecting a Spotify track via the plugin (so not via Connect), the Spotify track plays fine (so different to the result in my 3rd bullet point above)
  • When playing a Spotify track via the plugin and then playing a library file I get the Alsa busy error, but it plays ok when I hit play again.
