Thanks for your feedback guys. We just released a new version (4.1.3) which should fix your issue.

Let us know!

Still randomly stops playing in the middle of a track.

Log report: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/f1ke8NK.html

Is there a setting I’m missing to turn autoplay off? Also is gapless playback being worked on? It used to work perfectly, several updates ago. Not sure what happened. Thank you!

Just installed 4.1.3 and will give feedback soon.

@iyellen1 I think it would be appropriate for the plugin to expose more settings including an auto-play switch.

I remember having fewer issues using raspotify on Raspbian in the past. I switched to Volumio for the many other features it offers and I love the project but the poor experience I’ve had with its Spotify plugin for years now is quite frustrating.

Hi,
since the new update I can’t connect anymore from the spotify app on smartphone. Playing spotify from volumio app also doesn’t work.

Uninstall Spotify, reboot and Install Spotify again.

I had done this four times, that it works…Thank you

@GlennBurnett I think in your case, this is something due to another plugin.

In the log I saw:

Jan 31 09:11:23 volumiogcb gunicorn3[753]: http://localhost:3000/api/v1/commands/?cmd=pause

What is gunicorn? It’s sending a pause command…

We would need logs just after the problem occurs. Create a log and paste the link here for us to take a look. thanks

As I said, after reinstall and reboot 3 times, it work’s… more or less… there’s still the problem to break playing and connection in the middle of songs, like other had reported.
Thank you

Hi

One question : “is there a link between the Spotify plugin and the Alsamixer config ?”

Why am i asking:
[Hardware setup]: Rapsberry Pi 3 with Kali Reclocker & Allo Piano 2.1, set as Dual Stereo.
[Software]
I am running up to date Volumio 3.785
Spotify plugin was set to +6dB, with plugin 4.x [can not remember now]

I know that when i re-imagine Volumio (new install) i have to set a specific AlsaMixer config.
Yet:
Everything was running smoothly until 2weeks ago, spotify had issues and i discovered i should upgrade to the latest Spotify plugin.
I update to Spotify plugin 4.1.3. Setting still set to +6dB.
Then i notice the level has been changed.
Checking Alsamixer, the various levels were not at all how i remember i put them initially.
I had to reset them, going through some loops of trials and error because my old setting would be much too loud and with audible distortion.
The settings are now much different than before to get roughly the same level as before, without distortion.

Hence my question “is there a link between the Spotify plugin and the Alsamixer config ?”
or is it something else on my config that might have happen?

Strange behavior in Spotify, in a mixed source playlist (local mp3s, Spotify and Pandora) once a Spotify track plays it stays on some unknown Spotify playlist. If I press “next” it will continue in the original playlist where it was supposed to after the first Spotify track.

This happens in 4.1.3 it does not happen in 4.1.1

Log file : http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/hnxP7UJ.html

Gunicorn is a web server that runs a Python Flash application that integrates all my audio equipment, zones and Voloumio control including playlist management functionality using the Volumio REST API as well as other APIs. I use this custom interface to control Volumio.

I too like to know how to disable autoplay. It’s very annoying to have random music played. In the spotify client on my notebook autoplay is disabled, so that can’t be the source of this issue.

Running plugin 4.1.3. Tried to modify /data/plugins/music_service/spop/config.json, but that didn’t have any effect. In /data/go-librespot/config.yml there is no setting specified for autoplay.

How the heck do I disable autoplay?

@iyellen1 @tapefan

The only workaround currently to add this line into config template file manually /data/plugins/music_service/spop/config.yml.tmpl

disable_autoplay: true

See the related comment:

Thank, that did the trick. Somehow that thread wasn’t showing in my Google search.

@devgianlu @volumio could you please check?
I also noticed this problem since v4.1.3

The workaround mentioned by @phts should work. Add disable_autoplay: true to /data/plugins/music_service/spop/config.yml.tmpl. The autoplay key in /data/plugins/music_service/spop/config.json is not hooked up to anything.

You can find all configuration options at GitHub - devgianlu/go-librespot: Yet another open source Spotify client, written in Go.

OK, this workaround should be added to the plugin, without asking users to manually change it

would be supercool if this would be configurable in the plugin settings :slight_smile:
