New Volumio Spotify Plugin Open Beta-Testing

chourmovs_vs · September 14, 2022, 4:09pm

yes good luck for alpha testing. I personally go back to lms plugin Spotify Integration, I prefer playing music

Petr_Repka · September 16, 2022, 1:06pm

Hi,
When will Spotify plugin finally work? Is anyone working on the issues? Volumio without Spotify is like car without fuel for me. Don’t take it badly, but if it takes a long time, I’ll have to go somewhere else, because my family can’t exist without music

GlennBurnett · September 16, 2022, 6:26pm

Spotify plugin is working great, both control from Volumio and from phone/tablet are working in the same plugin. Version 3.0.6 is the released version. My previous post is a bug report. That does not impact most users as it is a special use case.

chourmovs_vs · September 17, 2022, 5:09am

Lucky you

SimonE · September 17, 2022, 3:20pm

Maybe we missed it, but where did you post specific details of your system, the problems you have encountered, the circumstances which lead to the problem and the link to your logs?

Otherwise keep on moaning to no effect. Spotify is working fine for most.

For my part on a Raspberry 3 when I do the next track several times in a row I have everything that crashes and stops working. Is this a known problem?

Petr_Repka · September 19, 2022, 8:37am

The problems I have have been reported by people here. I calmly waited and tested newer versions of the plugin.
I play music from the Spotify app on my mobile. Connection to RPI succeeds only on the fifth time, very often it is not even possible to connect. When the music from spotify is playing on the RPI, it plays 2-5 songs and then the RPI disconnects itself. Subsequently, RPI and Volumio are dead, unresponsive.
I’ll try a clean install and see if anything changes.

GlennBurnett · September 19, 2022, 5:26pm

Additional information:

“Position” is also missing from the http://volumio/dev page or any getState (REST, Socket or Command line APIs). This occurs immediately after clear and play from the UI, it shows position:0 then disappears
The queue does not show what item in the queue is playing (probably due to the above position issue)
Previous does not work correctly; starts the same track over, next appear to be working OK
/api/v1/commands/?cmd=play&N=0 and sio.emit(“play”,{“value”:0}) both work that confirms the position is referenced somewhere.

chourmovs_vs · September 20, 2022, 6:05pm

Are you sure, the nature and the frequency of the problems others and I are encountering make me doubfull…

Problem are present both on 3.232 or last beta
Problem to play album, i can’t play a full album, I have to launch a particular song then skipping doesn’t work with strange behaviour
problem using spotify connect, song start then after a few second is passing to next song bu behaviour is not consistent

Here is, for example, a piece of log trying to launch an album via the main playing button

Even if i can always play some songs here and here, everything that used to work a couple of weeks ago looks broken. Why such regression ?.
and I also get issue if I try to install LMS plugin to try to circumvent this situation (See dedicated topic)
Please help even in PM

blbeczech82 · September 20, 2022, 7:28pm

I really like volumio and its community. I’m superstar / premium subscriber. I have zero local library but Spotify and Tidal premiums only.
I was also a Roon user and the (only?) reason I chose Volumio was the Spotify integration. Now if Spotify is not reliably working I’ve given up on [ unistall / reboot / install ] spop once or twice a week and I use other streamers directly. Since only Tidal works properly I’m considering switching back to Roon as (for me) there is now no advantage of Volumio over Roon - maybe to say now there are Roon advantages over Volumio.
I understand the troubles Volumio devs having now with librespot etc. and I appreciate their hard work time ago while updates were quite often but usualy from nowhere to nowhere. But there is no commitment or deadline for fix and no devs update since Aug 5.

To put it another way, would anybody buy streamer without Spotify support nowadays…? Volumio Integro - Volumio

Josh2000 · September 20, 2022, 9:54pm

Hey, it was vacation time so patience and relaxation. I’m sure fixes will be done as promised.

Steve1 · September 24, 2022, 12:59pm

Just a quick update following the installation of the new beta Volumio.

The Spotify plugin worked fine before the upgrade but now albums will skip several tracks sometimes the whole album after playing the first track on the album.

Thanks for your work on this.

chourmovs_vs · September 24, 2022, 11:31pm

confirmed

direwolf08 · September 25, 2022, 10:35pm

Just wanted to follow up since I got no response to my previous post. I frequently lose connection via Spotify Connect and music will just stop playing. Spotify works via AirPlay for the most part. Log below.

Edit to add: I was running 3.0.4 at this time but I have this problem no matter which version of the plug-in I am running, including 3.0.6.

rschulz29 · September 26, 2022, 9:18pm

After going back and rereading this thread, I’m not sure what the status of this plugin is. Is it considered stable or are bugs being addressed? I’ve seen others post about problems similar to mine and then there are other saying it is stable for most. I’m running Spotify 3.0.6 on Volumio 3.369. The Spotify plugin is mostly unusable for me. It starts out ok and will play a Spotify playlist, but eventually stops responding. I normally notice something has gone wrong while attempting to skip a song. It will just restart the current song and then stop responding until I stop/restart the plugin.

chourmovs_vs · September 27, 2022, 11:35am

You are lost like everyone over there, Spotify is not officially supported by volumio and it’s difficult to understand why since I is very popular and its API is opened to developper. My idea is that volumio who offer good sounding solution prefer to favor HQ tidal and Qobuz solutions. Maybe they are right, Qobuz really make the difference
That said, community développer also seems to encounter big issues with new buster plugin architecture since lot of plugins are totally broken in v3. I wish I add the time and skills to help them, the fact they are not so many, they don’t look to discuss and help each other, and maybe they are not as “motivated by high quality coding genious” as they should be…

McMuffin · September 27, 2022, 1:18pm

If you keep adding your views here, people will just say your complaining/whining…

The plugin doesn’t work for many, but looks like the devs are back from vacation, but busy working on other stuff…

balbuze · September 27, 2022, 1:19pm

I do think you are completely wrong…
But please, give me the list of ‘lot of’ broken plugins published as stable … I’m curious
