Hello!
I’m trying to configure Volumio + Snapcast + Spotify using this guide and i’ve got some issue…
Everthings works fine when i’m playing local file or web radio to all my rooms but it dosen’t seems to works with spotify… allready search on internet but didn’t found anythings to help me with that.
Somebody does have a tips for it ?
Thanks by advance 
Well, basically newer versions of Vollibrespot uses a toml configuration file, instead of passing flags to the binary.
So, as suggested in
sed -i -- 's|device =.*|device = \x27/tmp/snapfifo\x27|g' /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotify.tmpl
sed -i -- 's|backend =.*|backend = \x27pipe\x27|g' /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotify.tmpl
Thanks for your reply @ashthespy
If i understand well, i need to connect with SSH to my rasspberry and run those commands with sudo in the begining ?
So i did, after i desacticate/reactivate de plugin, restart Volumio and still the same 
Can i share some log or something ?
Yes, these commands are via ssh/terminal, and you shouldn’t need sudo
So try something along these lines
systemctl stop volspotconnect2.service # Stop VLS Daemon
sed -i -- 's|device =.*|device = \x27/tmp/snapfifo\x27|g' /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotify.tmpl
sed -i -- 's|backend =.*|backend = \x27pipe\x27|g' /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotify.tmpl
systemctl start volspotconnect2.service # Start VLS Daemon
# Check the logs to ensure everything is working fine..
journalctl -f -o cat -u volspotconnect2.service
So i tryed the commands and it still not working, here is the log
It’s seems to have some network issue but i don’t know how to fix it

It’s seems to works with the MPD and server config from here
The only things i have to figure it out now is: Normaly it’s existing a specific stream in the spotify app i think, like VOLUMIO-MPD or SNAPCAST to stream everywhere ?
Because for now, i have to select the “main” volumio to play the music everywhere…
I can’t comment on the rest as I never tired snapcast, but from your logs, VLS is setup correctly and writing data to /tmp/snapfifo.
The warning below about IPv6 is just a warning as Volumio disables IPv6…

Great news

Ok, no problem with this.
Thanks for your help @ashthespy! I’ll wait if someone has got other tips for the Snapcast stream.
I’ve been working on this, have to check on my pc later if I patched this already on GitHub (on my phone now). A fix is available 
the plugin needs some patching for the toml file, nothing too fancy.
Thanks @Saiyato, I’ll wait for this 
. And thank you for all your work!
@pasoad did you ever find a concrete solution to get spotify connect to work?
Still the same… it’s working when I select my principal volumio client (here volumiosalon) but I don’t have a specific Spotify connect for all my device
Gotcha, I’m experiencing the same issue. I’ve toyed around with other services like Balena to see the multi-room working in action, but I really prefer the interface and existing plugins available in Volumio
When I’ve installed Snapcast using the manual steps, I don’t get audio streamed to my other devices, and I also don’t get the option to allow clients to control volume (near the bottom of the page)
@Saiyato sorry to spam you, but would my MPD section not looking like yours from the plugin possibly have something to do with the issues being faced?
From the plugin repository:
How the section appear for me:
