Hello,
i have the same problem on two 4Bs.
Have you find the problem?
Peter
Billjon: Thanks for the suggestion for the suggestion about the router. That may have been part of the problem.
Pedder3: I haven’t fully solved the problem, but most of it has resolved. I still have a stop after a half second the first time I play something, but the second time it now works fine. I can now see my devices even after a long period of inactivity. It doesn’t seem to be a Volumio issue. I haven’t done anything with Volumio, but the problem improved after two events: The Spotify Android app was updated and we had a local power outage resetting the router and all device connections.

Same issues here for me guys. Tracks will play for around a second then drop out. @volumio any progress on this please?
*** For info, the issue occurring on visible plugin and beta install.

Hi,
I have made an Volumio installation on my Pi4. I have a premium account.
Tidal is working fine, but Volumio won’t show up as a selectable option in my phone when using Spotify. The strange thing is, if I start playing a song from Spotify inside the Volumio app it’s working, and then when I open the Spotify app Volumio is suddenly selected as source? But without starting in Volumio app first, I don’t get the option in Spotify…
Any idea?

Hi everyone. I’ve been silent for a long time because frankly I hated to come here promising improvements when we had no viable options. So I took a different route, got to work hard in the background.
Finally, I have a very, very good news to share.
Over the summer we have been working on a total rewrite of the plugin (both of the daemon and the plugin itself). And finally, this week, we have a version where we are really satisfied.
It just works. 1000 times better than the current plugin.
To avoid any confusion and commotion, we are performing the last QA and final bugfixing in order to release it when it is fully ready for battle testing, and then hopefully releasing to everyone shortly after.
Thanks everyone for your patience. We made it a point of honour to get this plugin to the best possible shape. We care about it and about all Volumio users.
Stay tuned!

are the use cases used to do the rewrite public?
What do you mean?
program specs, test cases, function list, plans etc
sorry my terminology maybe regional or outdated.
documents that you use to test the program against to prove it provides the functions people will use
ex. add local music files and spotify songs in queue and they all play.
this worked in the old plugin but does not work in the current version.
just looking for something to read until the finish plugin is released
I can use Spotify Connect from my phone, but when I use Spotify Windows App (v 1.220.1216.0) to connect to my local LAN Volumio player, it shows green for about 2 seconds, then kicks back to black and plays via local computer.
Welcome to Volumio for Raspberry Pi (5.10.92-v7+ armv7l)
volumio@volumio-allo-digione:~$ cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3volumio@volumio-allo-digione:~$
The Spotify Plugin on Volumio web GUI shows 3.0.9.
Here are couple of screen grabs of the spot in the Windows App
The little icon just won’t turn green and connect!
That is awesome!! Thanks for all the hard work. Is there a place we can see if the bugs we reported have been fixed?
specifically:
- rapid skipping from track to track
- Does the plugin respect the queue position? Including the currently playing track indicator in the queue
- Intermittent connection with Spotify Connect
Excited for battle testing as soon as it is available!!

omg so happy to hear this! the poor spotify plugin has been a real paint point for many, so very excited to try the new version!
Almost there 
Internal QA is done. Now next QA with the mods and devs group
If that goes well, release is very very near

- Spotify playback does not work (no sound, but UI has state=“play”)
- However all other sources (webradio, local library) are working
Additional Information
An update will be released soon
Hi, so as it seems, that there are a lot of people having interesting issues with this plugin (and I think not too less people use Spotify here) - a more “precise” timeframe than soon would help us during this time suffering with this and that issue…
Also in case you need testers - please let me know, could not be worser than now
The post above from @volumio is as precise in terms of a robust testing schedule as can reasonably be expected. There’s no point in giving an exact release date until this stage of testing is completed satisfactorily.

hi
I am using volumio 3.512 on a raspberry pi with spotify plugin 3.0.9.
I was just wondering if it is to be expected that this spotify plugin falters so often: I will for instance select an album to play, and after perhaps 4 tracks it will just stop. This happens very often.
Is that “normal” or can I perhaps try to do something about it?
regards, Danny.
