Where did the Spotify connect plugin go?

[McMuffin]

@Darmur

the plugin was developed by the community, as many other plugins.

Volumio team stepped in to provide a new plugin to allow user to get their functionality back,

If it’s a “community developed plugin” and the Volumio them stepped in, great job … but you only need to read through posts like below to see why the sudden love for this “community developed” plugin… sorry let’s call it what it is. You guys have the Spotify logo on your landing page. Own it, or remove it.

Spotify wont accept my username and password again

The connect plugin only works when you start playing on the volumio device first… so doesn’t work for me. I.e. if I open spotify on phone or computer, the volumio device is not listed. Once I started playing on the volumio device, I could then see it on the apps (phone or PC) and start using the spotify app as a remote control. In any case, the thing that annoys me about the response from Volumio is this. I totally understand that I’m currently using a free version, I am also aware that man…

Or if you replace a “community developed” plugin with a rush hack job… Then don’t just remove the working said “community developed” plugin?

Thanks to tips from @balbuze I now see I need to SSH and jump through other hoops to install what I could just click click and goo previously…
