New Volumio Spotify Plugin Open Beta-Testing

Plugins
431

Uninstalled 3.0.4, rebooted, then installed 3.0.6.

Solved:

  • No more OAuth en API Key errors
  • Connect from Android Spotify app works
  • Spotify search from VolumioUI works, able to queue tracks, albums, playback works

There’s one situation however where I can get a library track and a Spotify track playing simultaneously:

To reproduce:

  • Add a library track to the queue, then a Spotify tracks then another library track, and play.
  • Wait till the library track ends and the Spotify track starts to play. Open the Android Spotify app and you’ll noticed Spotify Connect is active.
  • Now, pause playback in the Android Spotify app and the next library track in queue will start to play on Volumio
  • Now, press play again in the Android Spotify app. The Spotify track starts to play again however the library track continues to play as well.

Tracks in queue:

In the new plugin loop/repeat doesn’t work! If I select loop mode (when playlist finish restart) the only things that happen is Repeat the song is on (always the same song) if deselect loop mode start normally to skip the song when finish. I need for loop mode for my playlists list thanks

Now it doesn’t skip by the entire playlist, but there is no sound, could the plugin be using the wrong output source?

v3.0.6 stopped working when trying to select Spotify under the sources menu.

The log has multiple warnings like this error: Failed to refresh Token: Timeout

436

That comment saved me! Installed 3.0.6 on three RPis this morning. No Spotify browsing. Login clearly worked because Spotify emailed me to warn me of a new login. Turns out I just needed to restart after the Spotify login. Enabling the plugin was also a bit glitchy - I got a prompt to enable, had to click the ‘enable’ button two or three times to actually dismiss it.

Thanks for the great work!

After upgrading Volumio volume jumps back to 100% at the beginning of each new song after lowering it via Spotify connect. Anyone else experiencing this?

438

Spotify 3.0.6 still not working for me.
A song will play for about 2 seconds then stop.

In the log I see:
Aug 25 07:03:41 volumio kernel: bcm2835-i2s 3f203000.i2s: I2S SYNC error!

And now Tidal is broken as well - crying an ocean of tears…

Question. I normally listen to Qobuz, which works very well with the newest volumio version.

But every now and then, I like to use a spotify playlist. (the discovery / curated playlists are just too good). Should I even install this plugin? As far as I understand, spotify connect works just fine without this plugin?

You need to install the plugin Spotify 3.0.6 :wink:

Same for me, it jumps back to the volume you have set up in volumio, ie: if you have 70 volume in volumio but you change from Spotify to 30, next song will go back to 70. When you change the volume from the volumio GUI it does change in Spotify.

I have another issue where Spotify playback all of a sudden stops.
This occurs when I add one or more albums to the queue and play.
It happens sporadically, anywhere from 5-60 minutes after starting playback.
From that moment on I am unable to browse or use Spotify otherwise.
Disabling/Enabling the plugin restores functionality.

Issue looks the same as: https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify/issues/166

Probably a network drop caused this issue: Volumio Client does not appear in other Spotify Client after:

  1. Spotify is paused via remote app
  2. Network glitch
  3. Reconnect

After I restart the plugin, all is well

I have a problem with the credentials.
I can log in to Spotify, but after every start of the Volumio I am logged out.

Is ther a way to stay logged in?

Best regards

This plugin has bugs. I use Volumio 3, fresh update. I installed the plugin 3.0.6, these are the discovered bugs:

  • Spotify option does not appear on the “Browse” list until you log in and restart,
  • playing Spotify tunes from Volumio is not possible, you click Play but nothing plays. Changing volume between 0 and 100 causes time of a tune jump every time you release Volume “knob” (but no music).
  • casting tunes from the Spotify app on my phone works fine, but the tunes are not displayed in Volumio main dashboard. The music is audible but somehow Volumio does not display anything about the being played tune.

So it seems to be very buggy. Good luck with bug-fixing and appreciation for work of anyone who contributes to this plugin!

Hi, I installed as advised here and have a Spotify-Peppymeter conflict. Both work fine independently, but as soon as the PeppyMeter Screensaver plugin is ON Spotify stops playing. Everything seems to be fine and the song progresses but there is no sound and the needles aren’t moving. When PeppyMeter Screensaver is OFF Spotify plays seamlessly. I went through the forum but couldn’t find a remedy.

RPi3 vB
Dac - Audiophonics I-Sabre V4
Volumio v3.324
Spotify 3.0.6
PeppyMeter 1.3.0

I’d appreciate any help!

447

Hi Longplayer,

unfortunately Peppymeter is not supported as there is no plugin for it yet.

i also would appreciate much that would happen one day, but for now you should post to the peppymeter thread, i think.

Ok thanks, sorry I got confused by the various threads.

When playing mixed playlist with both MPD tracks (service:mpd) and Spotify tracks (service:spop) the song following any Spotify track no longer reports the service via either the getState REST API or Websocket API or the DEV page

“Clear and play” the same playlist or another playlist clears the problem until the next Spotify track finishes

Below are the results from the DEV page before, during and after Spotify track moves to next track either manually or previous song finished.
