This is something that we can fix now, we have been given access to some undocumented features of vollibrespot that will allow us to fix this

I 've been cautious about reporting good news, but after 2 days it also seems to have done the trick here. Spotify Connect works pretty good here after doing a delete-restart-reinstall of the plugin

That sounds great, do you have any idea when a fix might be available?
Great. Is it possible to get access to this features or to a testing version of the fixed plugin?
I’m having the exact same issue when switching to Spotify from playing files from local NAS.
Running Volumio 3.396, Spotify connect 3.0.7 and in “plugin test mode”
The workaround of deleting the queue after playing from the NAS and starting playing from Spotify Connect works very well. You can then use Spotify glitch free.
I can confirm this: Emptying the que in the Volumio app, then back to Spotify and it works again.
Apart from the above issue I can still confirm a properly working connection with Spotify Connect too
How do you delete the cue .Where is it located?
Thanks will try it ,great explanation!
I have the same trouble. 3.0.6 at least played.

Did you try this process. Worked for those above,
It doesn’t cure. Playing stops at 1st or 2nd second. Once it runs but there was no sound.

Hey all,
I’ve just installed this plug in, and got it all working on a pi3. However, when I start playing back, and attempt to shuffle the queue, things still play in the playlist order.
Volumio version 3.396, plugin version 3.0.7
Spotify plugin 3.0.7 is finally working in Volumio 3.396, but with software volume control only. This is unacceptable. I use a Hifiberry Digi hat with no mixer option to avoid sound quality degradation due to digital volume control. Is there a way to make it work with no mixer option?
Just keep the volume at 100 or at 0dB, it’s essentially the same as no mixer.
This is certainly a way, but I would like the plugin to work anyway.
My experience and feedback with the 3.0.7 Spotify plugin on the latest x86 platform. Not sure if anybody cares for the x86 platform though.
- plugin installs properly and I can configure it no problem. After install i enter my credentials and it logs in no problem.
- i can browse spotify, search and select songs but nothing is playing. No errors are displayed in the UI.
- After a reboot, the plugin doesn’t automatically sign in to Spotify. Not sure if it’s meant to do it or i always need to login manually.
- After a reboot, the plugin can’t evel login no matter how many times i enter my password. The only times it logs in is when i cast to it from my spotify app on my iphone. However, it takes about 10-15 tries until it connects. Once casting is established, the plug in logs in successfuly manually.
To sum it up, the plugin doesn’t log in. When it does after casting or dosens of tries it never plays anything from the UI. It only plays via casting from my phone app, only after dosens of times of connection tries.
Airplay works every time but that uses a different service and it’s outside the spotify plugin.
Does anybody know if the SQ is diminished between native Spotify UI on volumio, casting to the plugin on volumio, airplay to volumio.

Me again.
Still having the issue that shuffling doesn’t do anything, but now I’m seeing some more oddities:
- I find that I get a red “api error” notification, when trying to browse spotify, and the current workaround is to reboot the pi
- Even though I use the pi exclusively (not using my phone to control Spotify connect), I find an entire playlist can get skipped. This seems to happen if I pause, and the come back to the pi
Logs are attached.

Stops after each song of the playlist
