Problems are back again with the latest Spotify desktop app:
Spotify for Windows
1.1.90.859.gf1bb1e36
This time, it is regardless whether I have the Volumio web page open or not on my browser. To make matters worse, I can’t stop playing by clicking on the stop button in the desktop Spotify app. I have to open a browser and stop playing by using the Volumio web page.
I’m back to waiting for Volumio/Spotify to get their act together.
I suggest to use Connect only, and when using such mode clear your volumio queue
@volumio Our family has the same issues with Spotify Connect2 not working (skipping songs and no audio). Can I ask you to elaborate how to use “Connect only”?
Thanks in advance!
I tried to find a “clear queue” command in the Spotify desktop app. Failing that, I found a “Clear queue” trash icon at the upper right of my Volumio “queue” web page. Clearing the Volumio queue seems to have done the trick. My Spotify app seems to be working correctly again.
OK, so just need to be careful not to use the Spotify plugin with any other sources in Volumio. Is this issue likely to be resolved? It would be great to be able to mix my local music sources with those from Spotify.
What IP address goes in host file Rasberry PI? Does someone have a step by step procedure to solve the skipping issue
No need to add ip’s to the host file. This is already taken care off in the default image.
Thank you for responding .I am having the skipping song problem ,Only with Spotify, can anyone provide a solution.
I am using the new image 3.
But I experienced this same problem with an older image of Volumio.I went for the latest thinking it would correct the problem.
Trying to get help with this.I would like to purchase the premium plan but with the jumping tracks problem in playlist I will not.I have the RB pi3.With Hifiberry Dac plus.
I see others have mentioned these issues.Is there a fix for this or is this ongoing problem.I have seen some mention of host IP but others say the new version address that.Can anyone shed some light on this. It seems to occur when you select a different track than the one that is playing the songs then jump to a random track, start and stop and keep doing this.Sometimes it can be interrupted by hitting the pause button.Any help is appreciated.
If you’re having problems with skipping tracks using Spotify Connect, here is a workaround that works every time for me.
Hi,
i am doing it the same way SimonE described and can confirm it‘s working without hassles.
I control everything but volume control from the Spotify App - and volume control from Volumio.
it seems we have to be a little patient for a fully integrated solution like the one that worked for years - but Spotify changed the API and their documentation seems to be very poor

Has anyone solved the skipping issue,looks like last post was DEC 2022 I still cannot use spotify as is skips thru songs .Clearing playlist works temporarily but problem comes right back.Spotify is unusable for me.
