I am now trying the new plugin, and there’s a couple of things that are not quite right, but one definite bug that came up immediately.
Seems like you have shutdown the rPi, by just pulling the power plug. Leaving a ghost file in your /data/temp folder.
you can try to delete the content of /data/temp via the shell.
run:
sudo rm -r /data/temp/*
i never bothered if there is an update feature for plugins or at least a notification when there’s an update available?
if there is an updated plugin, the plugin page shows a button with “Update”
awesome tx.

Fresh install on a RPI 3b, premium account, Hifiberry Digi hat! Plugin install went well. Everything looks fine, but no sound, no music even starts to play!
I also have miniDSP OEM version! There is no new Spotify version available on the OEM, only the old plugins that stopped working!
Hi all,
First of all just wanted to thanks to Volumio community and all the people contributing for the plug in and for Volumio in general.
So I’m using a rpbi3 with a Hifiberry DAC+ and volumio system version 3.301, I have just installed the spotify plug in Spotify 3.0.1;

Could someone help ? Thanks a lot
Thank you, all good now the Plugin has loaded and is working.
One thing that seems to have changed is, when I was using the previous spotify plugins I found that things worked much better if I opened Spotify on my phone, and then used the Spotify “Connect to a device” feature and then played music to Volumio using the Spotify App.
For some reason the Spotify App can no longer see Volumio so I cannot connect to it, is this related to the change or is there another issue?
using new plugin still cannot browser spotify in volumio
Great plugin and thanks.
Using new spotify plugin: skipping songs and can’t stop the player from the spotify app.
Hello all,
I finally got it. I was using the wrong credentials to log into the plug in. I mean when that’s the case I was expecting a error message or something like that but no, simply nothing happens, after several attemps and unnistalls/installs of the plug in, I went to the web player in spotify to check my credentials (username and password) and now I can do it.
The sound quality is much better than to play over the app.
Thanks!
I would like to donate a small amount, how is this possible ? Thanks

Look at the line : Failed to Set Device Active: Error: Not Found
Is this an error?
Am I doing something wrong?
Does it require Spotify Premium for playing music directly on Volumio device?
Yes
Just a heads up for anyone else, if you’re having trouble connecting to Spotify double check to make sure that the name of your volumio device does not have a ’ character in the name. You can check your device’s name by going into Settings → System → Player Name (which should be near the top)
My volumio had a the name “saladtrayend’s volumio” which caused all attempts to log in to Spotify to fail. When I would click the sign-on button in the plugin screen the top right would have the “successful changes” green popup which would fade without actually logging me in.
My /dev/ logs also showed the following error which I’m pasting in case anyone else tries searching for the name error
volspotconnect.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’.
volspotconnect.service: Service RestartSec=2s expired, scheduling restart.
Same here, spotify premium account, logs in, can browse and put music in the queue, just no playback. Also the seconds are not adding so i think playback is not started…
