Spotify Connect

hi
the plugin is supposed to create a /etc/asound.conf file in order to use a dmix device… Are you sure you use the last version ? I checked with a pine64 and usb dac and a rpi2 with iqaudio…

Pretty sure I’m using the latest plugin. See attached images.


I never had a doubt :wink: . I’m investigating now on my allo boss player… I keep you informed… :slight_smile:

new version that should solve :

  • sample rate ( it was playing to fast with last version)
  • now the switch between user works !
  • use of speexrate resampler for a better quality

Hope it will work for you but let me know !

Haha i thought it was me when the music seemed high-pitched :smiley:

Switch between users works again (all 3 raspberry pi’s)

Thanks again so much :slight_smile:

1.6.7 working perfectly for me! Thanks Balbuze!

Hi,
Thanks a lot Balbuze. It works fine now with the newer release :smiley: (RPI3/Iqaudio dac+/Volumio 2.310 release)

I noticed that “44.1khz|16” was displayed on the “playback” window above the timer counter. Spotify is not an Ogg 320Khz streaming?

Regards

Yes! I’m going to change it.

Hello,

I had web connect working manually before the plugin existed. Yesterday I flashed the latest version of volumio and install the plugin (1.6.9).

I can select volumio on my phone and it plays, but I don’t have any sound. I have both /etc/asound.conf and /home/volumio/asoundrc

pcm.spotout
{
type dmix
slave {
pcm hw:0
rate 44100
        }
ipc_key 1024
}
defaults.pcm.rate_converter "speexrate_high"

I tried a few things starting web connect manually and couldn’t make it work or find anything wrong, but i’m not familiar with ALSA. Unfortunately, I don’t know the settings I had to make it work previously.

I’m on a rpi model B Revision 2.0 (512MB). Any help appreciated!

I made a correction for volspotconnect on armv6. I see your use a RPI B, it should help… If no sound after installation, please reboot

1.7.0 says no configuration available in plugin settings. I tried a few thing after that (uninstalled, installed previous, uninstalled, then reinstalled 1.7.0) and got settings in 1.7.0 but then spotify web connect wasn’t started.

This is solved in 1.7.1 . …

Thanks for your quick aswers. Still no luck unfortunately. I got it to work starting manually:

sudo ./spotify-connect-web --username ‘xxx’ --password ‘xxx’ --bitrate 320 --name ‘Volumio’ -o hw:0

Looks like there’s something wrong with the asoudrc config.

hi!
sending directly to hw was the of the plugin until last version of volumio… But the problem is that you may have (depending on your hardware and soft in use) a “device busy” that result of spotify connect “no sound” or even hang.
It’s because the plugin now use a asound.conf file.

Hello
I can select volumio on my phone and it plays, but I don’t have any Sound.

I have to test with jack output…

edit : ok I saw the problem. Try to fix it tomorrow… :wink:

Update: With HDMI it’s the same

small update for jack output
I can’t test for hdmi… If someone want test and post feedback :wink:

github.com/balbuze/volumio-plug … onnect.zip

With the update HDMI is working

I am using volspotconnect2 successfully on a raspberry 2.
To take advantage of the albumart Display I like to switch to volspotconnet
I have installed volspotconnet 1.7.3, enter credentials. Plugin states it is connected but does not show up in Spotify as a connect device.
As stated before volspotconnect2 works fine.

Any ideas on where to start debugging?
