I am located in the US and started having problems with the Spotify plugin on May 16th. I am getting the failed to log in error when trying to connect Volumio to my Spotify account. My Spotify account is current. Oh well, back to Chromecast Audio
I have the same issue - located in EU (on 3 Volumio devices). Spotify no longer works.
I also tried to enable/reinstall/login via https://myvolumio.org (SSL address)
In the browser console, I only see a POST to https://www.facebook.com/tr/ - immediately after clicking ‘Login’ – does not look right - perhaps tracking??
Then there is a message at top right: “Please check your username and password”.
Same problem here, I’m in Brazil.
Same problem here in Australia, been off since early yesterday morning.
Still out in US.
I thought it was just me
In 2015, we announced that we were discontinuing libspotify , a C library that developers once used to interact with Spotify and to stream audio. If you still have software that relies on libspotify then you should take steps now to adapt your application, close it down, or to replace libspotify with a supported developer product. We will be disabling access to libspotify on May 16, 2022 . After that date, integrations that still use libspotify will stop working.
Seems plugin needs to rewritten to support the Spotify Web Playback SDK?
will there be a chance that the spotify plugin will work again?
Well if the plugin uses libspotify, it needs to be rewritten in full. As this is a community plugin its difficult to answer this.
In the mean time you can use spotify connect or use a different solution.
For me the spotify connect option is not an option, I really hope someone can fix this soon, I use this option from Volumio for 95% of the time.
Looks like will need a full re write, here’s when you appreciate the kind and selfless contribution of the community developers. I don’t think it’s fair to expect a quick solution, only the hope that someone with the right skillset has the time to tackle this endeavour.
In another post @skikirkwood already expressed the lack of time to evolve the current plugin further, so rewriting it will most likely not be an option for him.
Let’s hope someone will pick this up. Preferable by @volumio as they already use these plugins as PR.
same here
I actually wanted to use it to build a portable Spotify radio.
This sucks. I use my Primo for 90% Spotify. I´m holding my thumbs that @volumio will fix an official plugin.
Hello,
I had a chat with the Spotify help and they pointed out, that it is only allowed to use spotify certificated players. So perhaps it is intentionally blocked by spotify ?
that doesn´t sound promising… Maybe its time to move to tidal
Or Qobuz or …
do you have a source for this?
maybe this one?
Is there a Qobuz plugin for Volumio, or do you just use their app?
