New Volumio Spotify Plugin Open Beta-Testing

I have a question. With this new spotify plug-in, after we write credentials, are we supposed to see the spotify icon and/or spotify menu on the side like we normally do, or it is now something different?
My problem is, i can not see spotify anywhere on volumio screen both rp3 and webpage (volumio.local)

I have tried the update and it works fine, but today it had an unwanted behavior, some tracks quickly go to the next one and for the last time the playback stopped.
If the playlist could load more than 200 songs it would be great, even if it was in the premium version.

Ja, dat is al vaker gemeld.

Please post in English as not everybody speak Spanish.
Seems a bug, as many people have reported this.
it’s still in a beta release.

Hi,
just for sake of completeness - I still have this error ("[Vollibrespot] : SessionError: Connection reset by peer (os error 104)" - see Handle reconnection for Sessions · Issue #134 · librespot-org/librespot · GitHub) after 2-10 songs or so. Not a specific error of this plugin but a general one in my network with RapsberryPie+librespot (same on moode or with the old version of volspotconnect).
I used to love volumio as it was the only software offering a “built-in” solution, which didnt base on librespot and just worked. Guess it’s over now :frowning:

Same problem with my Raspi4. Switch all the playlist , read nothing, juste switch .

Thanks Michelangelo, the plugin is works beautifully.

I comment is if you don’t reboot after installing and setting up the new plugin, the first time you start a spotify playlist, it jumps from one track to the next. The happened on two my devices, and a reboot fixed it.

New Plugin works like a charm for me… no issues what so ever…

Volume version 3.301 Payed . On raspberry pi 4 with Allo Boss DAC.

Thank you very much to all contributors for this super quick fix… ))

I do advise to restart the player after installing the new plugin and after login to Spotify… ))

I am having an issue when playing using a playlist , the system will randomly jump to next song or several songs forward.

Plug-in working great for me. Thanks so much for the quick turn around! Using the Spotify app to start/stop play and browse.

Plugin works as expected, except for the already mentioned ‘random’ progression when selecting next track in a playlist. Btw, this also happens in other services, like Qobuz.

Thanks for the great work, Volumio team!

Same. Playback HAS to be initialized from Volumio in order for it to appear in the Spotify app. But after a while it disappears again from the app.

And when it is appearing at all, it looks like a projector.

Yep. If you start Spotify playback from within Volumio, THEN you can see it in your mobile Spotify app. But eventually it disappears again.

Just installed on my Integro, so far so good! it works like a charm!

Trying this on a fresh install pi zero w and no other plugins installed. Walked through the initial setup and tried to install the plugin.
Where I get stuck in the process is this line: “Status :Downloading plugin

hi!
This a thread for Spotify…Why do you install pirateaudio (you said no other plugin…)?
did you modified volumio password?

Pirateaudio is the hostname that I have the player set to because I do have the hat attached(Pirateaudio.local). Password is still default.
Edit: Out of curiosity I changed the hostname back to the default of volumio, rebooted, and ran into the same issue.

can we make it to load on the volumio queue more than 100 songs from the spotify playlist?
