Thanks for updating us Davide. I was in the process off buying a second primo but set it on hold until a fix is in place.
Thanks Davide!
I can’t speak for all the opinions and remarks here, but if you need testers to confirm everything is working, feel free to reach out to this group for any assistance needed! Sorry I don’t code in Node.js (Python/Flask/DHTML)

Count me in too for testing. An official Volumio app would be fantastic.
Im in too for testing, provided I get compensated with a life time premium account :P.

You can count me in for testing too. I do expect proper sprint information and a predefined system setup for testing and debugging to avoid needless errors due to other plugins. Can test for rPi, Odroid N2+, x86

So if I wanted the 4 separate playlist playing on 4 different volumios I would need 4 x tablets opening Spotify and streaming from it to the volumio devices.
No, you do not need 4 tablets. For example, using Spotify Connect:
- Login as player-1 on the tablet and start playlist-1, and Spotify Connect to device-1
- device-1 is now running independently and pulling a stream directly from the Spotify server. Even if you turn off the tablet, playlist-1 will keep playing.
- Logoff on the tablet (device-1 will continue to play playlist-1, using player-1 account)
- Login as player-2 on the tablet and start playlist-2, and Spotify Connect to device-2
- Logoff on the tablet and repeat steps for player 3 and 4

That is awesome I will give that a go.
Just chiming in here. Hopefully it will be resolved in not so soon future and i’ll get notified lol
Everything has been said i guess and ofc i have exactly the same problem…
Same problem here (The Netherlands). I’ve read most in this topic. I hope the team can fix this. Please give us an update.

The same here in the Netherlands.
From the above comments, it is clear to me that it is not a geographical problem.
I hope the core Volumio team will hand-over this plugin maintenance soon and don’t wait too long for a community developer to solve the problem.

Quick question while the Spotify plugin is modified …
From what I can tell, the Spotify Connect2 plugin makes a Volumio box appear on the native Spotify app’s list of potential output devices. That’s fine. But, on my iPhone, that’s already the case via AirPlay: I can select a Volumio box as an AirPlay destination, after which I hear Spotify on Volumio. So in this case, is there a benefit from installing the Connect2 plugin? Is the quality better than with AirPlay?

When you use airplay, your iPhone must stay on, sending data, using its battery.
Spotify connect is just a ‘remote’ to tell Volumio to play. You can even power off your phone 
Thank you very much for sharing.
I have installed piCorePlayer as indicated in the video and I have also connected the music of my Synology NAS and now I have everything working correctly again.
The web interface is great, the same in the Mac Browser as in the iPhone.
I am happy!!
Update on the matter:
We already started working on the integration of the 2 plugins, so to restore browsing functionality from Volumio’s UI and still keep the Connect functionality.
Bear with us, we are really busy with lots of things (software for new products, new certifications, new wizard, new apps and so on) so it will not be super quick.
The good news is that the POC I’ve assembled today works well already, so we are already at a good point.
The final plan is to get this going as quickly as possible and then hand it over to a community member for maintenance (thanks to the devs that responded so far, you’ll be contacted shortly).

OMG… thank you so much for making me understand how to use this 
UPDATE 2:
Although it’s been more complicated than anticipated, the authentication part is done. What I wanted to avoid is 2 different logins. This part is now done, and just one login in spotify is necessary.
Next step is to hook the connect daemon to playback from Volumio’s UI, wish me luck

Thank you very much! So basically it will be all spotify connect and Volumio will just be a remote controller. I noticed a big sound quality difference between playing spotify on Volumio(or From windows using my minidsp shd as a usbdac) and using spotify connect.
Is there any setting, config or condition on connect that would make it go to lower bitrate? Is that something you know or can check while in there…
