I have tried installing/reinstalling. The integrated Spotify plugin is working, and I do have a premium family plan with Spotify.

The settings i have used in the volumio spotify plugin 3.0.8 are:

Normalization: off
Bitrate: 320
Multi-user Device: off
username: *personal*
password: *personal*
Gapless playback: On
Autoplay: off
Debug mode: on

Volumio is found as a spotify connect option, but when I try to play it just starts skipping through the songs, and no music is played. The verbose log from the journalctl -f verbose log looks like this:

Did you find a solutions? Experiencing the same.

4

Nope. I still have the same problem. Currently I work around it by using airplay after putting on the songs in Spotify.

I’m still hoping for someone to help with a proper solution though.

I had the same problem. Found a solution here: Spotify connect skipping songs - Plugins - Volumio

Thanks, @BALDHEAD. Solved the problem here too.

Spotify stopped working. My log in in details returns error message. Tried factory reset and went as far as re-flashing SD, nothing works. Log in and password is correct, works on other devices.

See other thread. You’re not alone.

Hi,
same issue, after having updated the volumio version to 3.251, and reinstalled the spotify connect 2plugin , it does not seem to run, it does not even appear in the menu.
Have also tried to install the plugin spotify 2.0.3, but in that case it says that the user name/password is not correct.
I have a premium spotify account that works otherwise, I have double checked today.
Tried also to uninstall / reinstall spotify but did not solve the issue.
Thanks for your help
Brice

Please see the main thread that I linked above. The problem is nothing to do with your system or upgrade to v3
