Volspotconnect2 - new Vollibrespot instead off librespot?

[gbnardo]

Hi, I have some problem to enable the Spotify strems using the volspotconnect2 plugin(Volumio Spotify Connect2 -version 0.9.1). I'm not expert but i think the problem is because the new version is based on Vollibrespot instead off librespot.

volspotconnect2 config:

volumio@volumio3:~$ cat /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/startconnect.sh

this file is generated by the plugin. You should not edit it unless you know what you do. It will be overwritten by the plugin each time a change in config is detected

cd /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2 ./vollibrespot -b 320 -c /tmp --disable-discovery --username 'yyyyyy@zzz.com' --password 'xxxxxx' --disable-audio-cache --name 'Volumio3' --initial-volume 33 --device plughw:0 --logarithmic-volume

Any help is appreciated - sorry for the newbie questions!

I've been kept quite busy, my apologies, will test asap!

Could you look into this please?

I'm having the same issue and will be happy to help and test where I can! A fresh install of Volspotconnect2 plugin works well on my 2 RPI's separately. However, whenever I try to route the sound over the snapserver (by saving the Spotify Integration Settings and patch Spotify Configuration Template in the SnapCast plugin settings, followed by saving the settings in the Volspotconnect2 plugin) volspotconnect2 crashes.

I believe the following chunk of journalctl contains relevant information:

--Unit` volspotconnect2.service has finished starting up.

Changing the code in index.js like cschwede suggested in his fix didn't work for me: I still got the "--mixer: command not found" error.
