Steps to Reproduce

1. Set Mixer type = Software
2. Spotify playback works
3. Set mixer type = None
4. Spotify playback does not work (no sound, but UI has state=“play”)
5. However all other sources (webradio, local library) are working

An update will be released soon

[bjoernhoefer]

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

@bjoernhoefer

a more “precise” timeframe than soon would help us during this time suffering with this and that issue…

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.

New Volumio Spotify Plugin Open Beta-Testing

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. T…

This is just one of the “problems” Spotify currently has…
Mine is a bit funnier but still annoying…

Spotify Connect - Playback stops after about 2 seconds

Hello, I have a brand new Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 GB of RAM The connection is via a Ethernet Cable My internet connection has around 20 MBit/s So I think the basis of the setup is pretty stable. My problem: When I freshly write the image to a SD-Card Spotify Connect works flawless. As soon as I remove the power (I do not shut down the Pi - I just pull the plug) the problem starts. (I also tried it with shutting it down) If I connect with Spotify Connect it only plays a few seconds (2-3 se…

Looking forward to get notified that the Beta reaches public.

[p0mian]

any update on that?

[volumio]

The new plugin has been released. For sake of clarity and tidyness, we’re locking this thread.
