Play/pause problem spotify usb X10 medion remote

have a problem with the usb X10 rf remote with spotify connect2 plugin, the problem is that as soon as you press play/pause the stream stops but as soon as you press play/pause again spotify does not continue but starts playing with the web radio.
after play/pause Spotify you can play the next or previous spotify song, that will work again.

tried in standard volumio2 software and volumio buster beta, same problem in both.

I’m using triggerhappy and using a custom audio.conf that is in the location “/etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d”

Hey Michel,

This is unfortunately a known issue with how Volumio handles these API calls. See the discussion below for details

Fix for it is in

You could try adding it manually to your installation - it’s just 23 lines :wink:

You might run into other issues with Volumio that have been fixed since 4th May 2020

Give it a shot, but prepare to re-flash if things break!

I’ve tried it now and so far everything still works, even pause/play works fine.
I’m very happy :smiley: thanks for the solution :+1:

just for the stats, I’m using the latest stock volumio img version 2.882 on a raspberry pi 4.

If you are using MyVolumio stuff, please do test if it breaks those features, as I couldn’t test that :slight_smile:

unfortunately I don’t use MyVolumio stuff and can’t check it.

Hi,

i was looking for a fix for this issue and… this one works fine :slight_smile:

Really thanks for your help.

I quickly checked if everything is working properly:

  • My volumio features ( i’m a volumio virtuoso subscriber ) are ok
  • play / pause toggle finally works with my ir
  • my tidal mixes are no longer shown in “tidal” volumio section after the pull command ( not so bad as i can use tidal connect )

Edit: x86 v2.878

Thanks all,

Luca
