  • Model: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4

  • HiFiBerry DAC2 Pro via wifi

  • Volumio Premium 3.251

  • When playing a playlist or an album from within the app, it does not automatically play the next song (as reported above).

  • When playing a playlist or an album in “Spotify Connect” mode from my phone to Volumio, it does automatically play the next song when playing

  • Otherwise sounds and looks great - thank you for your amazing, super-fast work!

When I send my playlist to spotify, it plays each song without problem, when I start to manually move from song to song there is that when I finish that track the playback stops and does not continue. Volume is fine

Volumio for Raspberry Pi (5.10.92+ armv6l) Version 3.2.51

-Soptify login OK
-Can select spotify playlist and add it to queue
-Play/pause status not change when click. Song time never updated. If refresh web browser shows the new time but not updated it.
-After every song stops playing

Same over here.
I can access Spotify.
Great job

Hence playback stops after each song when using the Volumio web User interface
When using the Spotify app playback works great.

• When playing an album from within the app, it does not automatically play the next song.
• When playing a playlist, the very first time everything is fine. Continuous playback of all songs. After the first time it now won’t continuously play if playing a playlist directly. The song ends but the play timer keeps incrementing.
• Can’t open… Go to Artist and Go to Album
• Frequency and bit rate not displayed

Thank you for all the work!

Edit: If I touch anything after I play a playlist it stops going to the next song automatically, a workaround is to turn off my DAC save, reboot, turn on DAC save reboot. Then I can play a playlist again, but just once.

Hey Weaten, I don’t have foreign language on my system. However, my PeppyMeter doesn’t work (no movement on needles). How did you get it to work? I changed the output_name = peppyalsa on both files, stop.conf.tmpl and sopped.conf.

51

Before installing Spotify disable peppymeter plugin and enable again after installation. It was mentioned in some post.

Spotify doesn’t see Volumio with this plugin as a play target. It only starts seeing it when I play Spotify from inside Volumio. I cannot start playback to Volumio from Spotify app on my phone or computer.

I also have to untick “show local devices only” in the Spotify app which is weird as there is no network weirdness, it’s all the same wifi LAN, no subnets or things like that.

Also Volumio identifies as a projector in the app.

This was not an issue with the old plug-ins, back when the authentication worked.

I am not seeing a way to save an artist after you search for one to My Top Artists? Is this something not yet available in this version of the plug? Other than that so far so good, great job on pulling this together.

Even disabled, the plugin is still updated when alsa output is changed (ex enabling FusionDsp).
That was already the case with Spotify connect 2.
probably because this.getAdditionalConf(‘audio_interface’, ‘alsa_controller’, ‘outputdevice’);
is still here.

So for me it doesn’t work at all :confused:

System:

  • Host: Raspberry PI 3B
  • Volumio 3.251 (free membership)
  • DAC: Tone Board (USB connection)
  • Spotify premium

I installed the plugin and inserted my credentials and I managed to login as expected. The spotify menu showed up on the side bar. I can press it and check my favorite songs etc.
When I try to play any song it just does nothing. I checked the log and it says:

[Vollibrespot] : Loading with Spotify URI
[Vollibrespot] : Fetching autoplay context uri
[Vollibrespot] : channel error: 2 1
[Vollibrespot] : Unable to load encrypted file.
[Vollibrespot] : error 400 for uri hm://autoplay-enabled/query?uri=
[Vollibrespot] : AutoplayError: MercuryError
[Vollibrespot] : Loading with Spotify URI
[Vollibrespot] : channel error: 2 1
[Vollibrespot] : Unable to load encrypted file.
[Vollibrespot] : Unable to load
Skipping to next track

Edit: Forgot to mention that sound works with bandcamp and web radios.

Hi to all.

  • Host: Raspberry PI 3
  • Volumio 3.251 and free membership
  • DAC: Allo Piano 2.1 and Kali Reclocker
  • Spotify premium

All seems play well at the moment, but the volume out from the plugin is significantly lower compared to the output when I play flac from my nas.
Thank you for your great work!
P.S. sometimes the playlist stops playing at the end of the song!

Works for me in general. Thanks a lot for your work!

However I’ve noticed, as I’m using several RPIs at home and sharing one normal (not family) spotify account, the playback stops on the first device if another playback is started on a second device.
With the old spotify plugin it was possible to playback independly and simultaneously on different devices by using just one non-family account. Actually, it was even possible to use additionaly ONE tablet with spotify app parallel to all RPI instances.
I guess that this feature will not come in future with the new plugin and I need to switch to a family account??? Could you please confirm?

Thank you very much!

  • V3.251
  • Allo DigiOne
  • MyVolumio Free
  • Spotify Premium
  • Location: Norway

The installation went well but there was no playback with Spotify nor Spotify connect. Sometimes it started skipping continously.
Checked the Volumio log: “[vollibrespot] : channel error: 2 1”

Fix:
Searched the net and added the following line to /etc/hosts:
104.199.65.124 ap-gew4.spotify.com

Then everything seems to work fine.
