I wrote a little android app that allows you to share spotify links from the spotify android app to volumio. I prefer the spotify android app interface while searching for playlists/artitst/albums. Attached is the apk and some sreenshots.
How to use
Hit share on the android spotify app, select “Send to Volumio” and give it the hostname you use to access volumios webpage. Hit “Share” and you’re done!
If you want I can set up a Volumio account on play store. We can put all Volumio related apps there.
I will open Volumio Play Store account, give you credentials and you could upload it there.
Let me know what you think
Ok, I’ll open a Volumio account on Google Play and send you credentials. Could you drop me a PM with your gmail please?
As for the logo, you can use it. I was about to tell you…
Great work! I see it published!
However, the name spotio is already taken by another app, this could cause us copyright problems.
What about volutify? (my best bet would be volumify but already taken…)
Or simply Volumio Spotify Share…
Let me know, after this I will write some PR about it
Hello. This looks great. However, I installed the app via the google play store but when I click on share in the spotify app, the option for share to Volumio does not exist. Is there something simple I am doing wrong? A setting somewhere? The Google play store shows the app as being installed.
in addition to what I stated earlier, when I click share I am only given the option to “post to” and “send to” and am not given the option to share via any app I have. For example, I have Bubbleupnp, but it does not appear like in the screen shot above. I feel like there is something very simple i am overlooking here.
Thanks! It works really well. This seems to be as close to Spotify Connect functionality as can be done without actually having access to Spotify Connect. It’s nice using the Spotify app to browse and select music. Volumio is getting nicer every week!
Volumio is running on rpi2.
I start the Android APP, select a song, and go to share -> others-> volumio, and i get only a Message: ‘Info: Error sending link to volumio’
