New Volumio Spotify Plugin Open Beta-Testing

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
nloading plugin at http://127.0.0.1:3000/plugin-serve/spop.zip
And logs show this:

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?

Hello to all!

4 pcs. Model: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
Version of Volumio: 3.301
Kernel: 5.10.92-v7+
Connection both Wireless +Wired
Volumio Free; Spotify Premium

I have a problem. I have 4 pcs.
Rasp PI with the new versions of Volumio. I can’t play all four Spotify volumio players at the same time. I downloaded each of my playlists from spotify. As soon as I started playing on the next one the previous one stops playing from Spotify. When you press play it starts jumping through the songs in the playlist. The sound button also jumps itself, then louder then quieter.
But when only one player from Spotify is playing everything is fine.

Is there a solution?

Thanks!

isn’t this intentional? I think spotify limits the amount of active clients it supports?
