**Temporary Spotify Connect Bypass**

For the time being, this plugin serves as a temporary workaround that provides **Spotify Connect only**. It has been tested on **Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, CM4, Primo V2, Primo Plus, and Rivo**. No Spotify authorization or login is required.

The plugin uses the **official Volumio Spotify binaries**.

> **Please note:** This is provided _as-is_ and is intended solely as a temporary replacement for the currently broken Login5 functionality. No new features or enhancements will be added.

## Installation

1. Remove the Spotify plugin installed from the Volumio Plugin Store.
2. Copy the ZIP file to your device.
3. Run the following commands:

```auto
miniunzip volumio-spotify-connect.zip
cd spotify-connect
volumio plugin install

```

1. Enable the plugin from the Volumio UI.

## Features

### Supported

- Spotify Connect playback
- Playback control via Spotify app or Volumio:
  - Play
  - Pause
  - Stop
  - Previous track
  - Next track

- Volume control (one-way only, Spotify App. → Volumio not Volumio → Spotify App. )
- Initial volume setting
- Volume normalization
- Custom device name as displayed in the Spotify app (rename supported)

### Not Supported

- Bidirectional volume synchronization
- Login5 authentication
- Additional features beyond Spotify Connect functionality

This plugin is intended as a simple, lightweight stopgap until the official Login5 implementation is fixed.
