Same feeling here, Volumio is considered to be the best hifi streaming software, it should provide the possibility to exclude software related volume control to prevent sound degradation also on Spotify plugin.
Hi!
Iām not able to start any song in Spotify now. I can browse my playlists. But when I click on āplayā nothing happens at all.
In the log, I see following error:
info: CorePlayQueue::getTrack 0
info: [1674401260927] ControllerSpotify::clearAddPlayTrack
info: Setting this device active
error: Failed to Set Device Active: Error: Not Found Device ID: cd7a6bb56af0baba0b98cfd30e75d2a73def4e10

Iām using āSpotify 3.0.7ā of the plugin.
This is my system:

What do I do wrong?
Try to set mixer type to Software.
Thank you! I did, I even rebooted Volumio after changing the setting, but I stiill canāt start Spotify playlists or songs. 
I get still the same error in the log:

Playing webradio, mp3s from a smb-share and podcasts works still fine.
Hi @tiggr, did the Spotify plugin work for you before, or is this the first time you tried it?
Try uninstalling the plugin, rebooting and then reinstalling.

Hi @SimonE!
to be honest, Iām not shure about that! Yes, sometimes ago, it worked for shure. But I donāt know when or which version worked!
Hi have to Volumion installations.
One old in my āman caveā, Iāve not used it for some month.
Today I set up a new one, I decided, I need some music in my livingroom too. 
I downloaded the last image for raspberry pi, flashed the card and installed the plugin. All worked fine, but the spotify-plugin.
Then I tried it on my old Volumio (another raspberry pi) and ā¦ spotify didnāt work. I donāt know, with which version it worked the last time. But both volumio installations donāt work at the moment.
I did as you want me toā¦ itās all strangeā¦
I uninstalled the plugin.
I did a reboot.
I installed the plugin and tried to login inā¦ it allways returned to an empty password field ā¦
I rebootet the device
I started with me loged inā¦ strange
I klick on play, nothing happens in the gui. but I get the same error in the log.
The next strange thing:If I disable āMulti-User Deviceā, It does not stay disabled!
There is something very strange with this plugin on my devicesā¦
Orā¦ I have an āPremium Individualā at spotify, maybe this is wrong?
Thatās odd. Premium individual works fine by the way. Hopefully someone else here can help out.
you can only be logged in on 1 device, youāre sure youāre not logged in an any other device?
You can be logged in with multiple devices at same time, only listen with one at a time thought, the latest device with playback started will always take presence and other device will stop playback.
That would be fine for me, because I use spotify on two volumio devices and on my smartphone. But never two of them at the same time.
Later, I will try to logout on all devices but one volumio and give that a try.
OK, this is fun! 
I logged out from spotify on all devices and loged in only on one Volumio device.
Result: Spotify works now!
I logged in on the other devices again, and it still works!
But sometimes it jumps around like crazy between songs. And it allways dosenāt play the song I choose from the playlist, but the next one! It doesnāt matter, if I use the web interface or the app on my smartphone - it plays the next song from the one i did choose.
I will do some more testing, but Iām happy it works now, even I have to choose a song previous to the song I want to play. Must have been a problem with multiple spotify logins.
I reply to myselfā¦ but this is interessting:
If I start a song with a click on the song or using the play symbol in front of the song, it plays the next song.
But if I go on the ā3 pointsā on the right side and choose āPlayā, it plays the right song!
If tested this in Chrome, Firefox and Edge under Linux.
That offset is prob. caused by clicking on the top play button. If you juswt click on the first track of a list it should be OK.
Good to hear that logging off did the trick. As I saw an error in your log which I expected was related to your problem.

Hello 
I was wondering if there is a way to not change Spotify volume when I change it on Volumio?
As you can see in this video, when I change volume from Volumio (hardware), it also changes it in Spotify (software), which is weird and not the sameā¦ but if I change the volume in Spotify, it doesnāt change Volumio volume.
Thanks!
Hi,
I hope this topic doesnāt already exist - I couldnāt find it.
After the update to Volumio 3.324 I noticed the following problem.
Volume set in Volumino APP: 70%
Spotify APP (Plugin Version 3.0.6): Volume can be set by phone (higher / lower) but only for 1 song - if the next song starts to play volume automatically switches back to 70%.
Before the update I was able to set the volume (one time) and it was saved for the whole session - this was as it should.
I donāt know if itās a problem of volumio or the plugin?
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Best regardsā¦
you can try to clear the cache of volumio android app and spotify app.
or remove the spotify plugin then reboot and reinstall and check if it helped.
what else did you enter for a value in settings/playback options/mixer type/default boot volume?
Thank you,
I already reinstalled the Plugin - no success.
Volumio App is only installed on my Phoneā¦ the problem exists also on the other phones that stream Spotify.
Value in the settings was first: disabled - I set it to 75 % - this didnāt change anything.
I can set the volume by Volumio App to 30% and then all songs will be played with 30%ā¦ When I set the volume louder in the Spotify App it switches back when the song changes to the Volume that is set in volumio (30%). This happens on all phones i use for playbackā¦
so you use spotify in the volumio app, so itās best to use spotify connect.
I use the original Spotify App and stream it to Volumio (Spotify Connect). The original Volumio App is only used for shutdown the system.
But this means with an older Version of the Plugin it should work as before and allow me to set the volume in Spotify App?
