Spotify Connect

@danielfelix you have to enter your credentials and save.

Works like a charm, thanks for the great job balbuze!

If my issue is picked up by fornoth (propagate progression) we can fix the playing time being displayed correctly. Now if you pause the timer restarts, same as with Airplay. For Airplay I think I can fix it, but for spotify-web-connect we need to have someone expose this in the metadata (which is beyond me, I really don’t get rust). :wink:

Happy to wait though, still working on a rework of the LCD plugin, wasn’t happy with using scripts that are in no way linked to Volumio.

already did…

Do you use the equalizer plugin? Because it can’t work (yet) with it.

Hi balbuze,

really nice news. Volspotconnect is working again for me :smiley:
In the meantime i used volspotconnect2 which also worked great!
But now with Album Art volspotconnect is the 1st choice :smiley: :smiley:
If you manage that the buttons are working too it is awesome!!!

Thank you again for your great work!
In my opinion Volumio with your plugin (s) is the best Mediaplayer on the market.

Yes! that’s!

to wait now…

Hi,
I uploaded a new version that works with volsimpleequal and brutefir :wink:
Unfortunately, volsimpleequal hangs sometimes, but up to now, I didn’t reproduce the problem in order to solve it…

feedback welcome !

@balbuze, with what version of Volumio is the operation of volsimpleequal + volspotconnect tested?
With version 2.285 in Rasp 3 + Allo Boss, volsimpleequal works the first time and when restarting stops doing it. With version 2.246 volsimpleequal has the same problem.
I have to try volspotconnect well.

Regards

@balbuze, volspotconnect in Volumio 2.285, Rasp 3 and Allo Boss has problems with the volume, it connects correctly, it is well visualized in Playback, but it makes a very strong click at the beginning, the volume starts at a very high level, it does not correspond the one configured in Volumio.
Can it be a problem with the mixer setting, exactly how do I have it set?

Hello,

Is it possible to set the great volspotconnect plugin to a fixed volume? Can this be configured in a conf. file?

Hello,

I have no sound with “Spotify connect”.

It 's the first time I use it.
I installed the “Spotify connect” plugins volspotconnect.zip ver 1.6.4
Installation worked fine…
Volumio player is seen by Spotify App(Windows Spotify App or my android smartphone App). So I can select music and select volumio player to play it.
Music starts on Volumio player (I see the album cover, “volspotconnect” tag and time counter runs…), but no sound.
If i play a song from my local usb library or web radio, no problem.

I use an RPI3 with the last Volumio Release (2.310) and an IQaudio Dac plus as output device

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem.
Just reinstalled with latest Volumio Version (2.310) and volspotconnect 1.6.4
I am using the Allo Piano DAC.
It used to work perfectly until i upgraded Volumio because i would get static cracking.

Now there is no sound anymore, but sounds works perfectly when playing from Volumio.

If someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated !

Greetings.

I have the same problem after latest two Volumio updates with latest volspotconnect2.

No sound for me too. Volumio 2.310, plugin 1.6.4 on a Raspeberry Pi 3 with an IQAudio DAC+.

Hi everybody!
Since several release of volumio, we encounter problems with plugins that needs to access the output device. Most of the time it is due to a “device or resource busy”. I suspect that a change in the kernel and thus alsa is in cause. But I still haven’t found a solution… I’m working on this, and any suggestions are welcome…

Hi,
I think I have solved the problem of “no sound”…
Just tested with a i2s dac (iqaudio).
let me know :wink:

Balbuze, THANKS !!!

Is working again (Allo Piano)

greetings from Belgium

edit: it seems to be working at first but the volumio clients keep dissapearing from the spotify player (android and windows)

I’m on 2.310 with the new plugin and an IQAudio DAC+ but I still don’t have any sound. No obvious errors in the Volumio log file.

Could you please check if you have a /etc/asound.conf and post its content.
Check if /home/volumio/asoundrc exists and it’s content.
This version can’t work with softvol or equalizer.

Hi Balbuze, I’ve never installed or used softvol or equalizer.

My volumio instance doesn’t have /etc/asound.conf or /home/volumio/asoundrc files.
