Unfortunately the latest version is worse for skipping tracks on my system. I uninstalled the previous version, restarted and installed version 3.03. Then I played a track from my phone’s Spotify app, selecting Volumio as player. Instead of playing the track it skipped through a number of previously queued tracks. Same problems if I select tracks through the Volumio plugin.
Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4
HiFiBerry DAC2 Pro via wifi
Volumio Premium 3.301
Spotify plugin V3.0.3
Finally!!
I did a Factory reset! Setup from scratch…only installed the Spotify plugin to begin with, closed the window, closed the door, and without hardly breathing…Spotify finally started to play!
The counter shows everything correct…even the skipping works! I will try some more, and then go to bed! Peace!

[Vollibrespot] : error 400 for uri hm://autoplay-enabled/query?uri=
[Vollibrespot] : AutoplayError: MercuryError
I can easily force this error by selecting a playlist via the Volumio UI, press play and then load a playlist on my phone and start playing to Spotify connect. The skipping start.
tested the same on LMS + Spotty (librespot) But I can’t reproduce this error.
The differences i can find with Spotty vs Volumio are:
can i ask why there is no update function present? one has to be aware that an update is available (there is no “update available” notification", then uninstall the present version before being able to install the update.
This is probably a naive question, and given all of the work that has gone into this new plugin, probably not welcome
Before Volumio 3, and before the original Spotify plugin stopped working, all I had to do (I use my android phone as the controller) was open the actual Spotify app and select Connect To Device and then select Volumio and I could control Spotify from the Spotify app connecting to Voluimo. I found this a MUCH better way of playing Spotfy music. If I wanted to play from my personal music collection (very rare) I would use the Volumio app.
Unfortunately now, the Spotify app doesn’t see Volumio unless you open Volumio, start playing something using the Volumio Spotiy plugin and then go back to the Spotify app and you can control it but tat that point the 2 apps start playing a tug of war so it’s no longer worth doing.
So, as noted in the first paragraph, why bother with a Spotiy plugin for Volumio, and just have it setup so the Spotify app can see the Volumio app?
