Problem with playing music from Spotify to Volumio

I noticed that something changed last couple of months.

Before it was very easy for any familymembers to play music from spotify and just press output to Volumio - unit.

Now it´s almost impossible to do that - it took me a long time to uninstall both apps several times.
Often in the spotify app, it looks like the song is playing in volumio unit but nothing happens even after new installations etc.

Somebody else noticed this too?

I just found a topic at Spotify community that confirms my suspicion since sept -24.

It seems to work now with latest update Spotify plugin, v4.1.1.

It´s strange but Im pretty sure that Ive tried that before - anyway - very happy to be able to play music again.

Spotify integration is driving me nuts. It is just not stable.

Reinstalling the Spotify plugin has almost become a daily routine by now. The interface in Volumio is just not up to standard spotify. But playing spotify from Spotify just does not work.

I’ve had similar issues with my RPi 4 running Volumio 3.779. I’ve found downgrading to Spotify 4.0.3 has fix most of the issues. For example, I can play a large, multi-hour playlist with out issues. I’d suggest giving it a try. Good Luck.

I just got a new spotify family plan membership. Yesterday it was playing fine.
Today it started playing and then suddenly quit.
I can no longer get spotify running on any of my 3 Volumio devices I have thru the house.
What’s going om? txs running the latest on v3 on one device and v4 on the other. cannot get it to work. Help!

This is an ongoing, recent, issue due to changes from Spotify. A fix is being implemented and a plugin update will come soon. Stay tuned.

Try using spotify premium apk modfyp, you will be able to easily stream music from Spotify to Volumio.

Hey everyone, has anyone experienced Spotify suddenly only working on the phone and not being able to stream to the Raspberry Pi? When trying to stream to the Pi, the song displayed on the phone either keeps jumping around erratically, shows as stuck, or appears normal on the phone—but in any case, there’s no sound from the Pi. Two days ago, the same Pi was working fine with Spotify on both Volumio , but now neither software works.
