Hey I appreciate this fork a ton, thank you for putting all this work into it! It is working great. My only problem is that I can't use the kodi machine through spotify connect. my kodi machine shows up on my phone under the list of devices to connect to, but it says "Can't play this right now".
Hi, spotify connect was experimental and I didn't make any changes. On my side, device is available but nothing is playing. I'll try to look at it.
I've also been able to connect to the kodi machine through my spotify phone app, but couldn't play or do anything. But sometimes it just says "Can't play this right now".
Another bit of feedback: After clicking on a song to play, sometimes it takes a while to actually start playing (5-10 seconds). There is a spinning animation that displays after clicking but before the song plays. Also, there is the same delay (5-10 seconds) before the next song in a playlist automatically plays after a song ends. This playlist delay doesn't happen every time, but the song-clicking delay happens very frequently.
You're right, I have the same issue. Maybe it's linked to Spotify rate limiting. If we send to much request, we have to wait a number of second before we can try again.
Hi, I am looking into the issue with spotify connect, is that blocking this merge? Right now I'm looking at spotty, and I'm seeing that that project hasn't had any commits in 17 months (which still means the included version is obsolete), while the upstream librespot has had commits as of 20 days ago.
If using librespot directly is feasible, how should we go about making it easier to update? It's written in rust. I'm thinking maybe a submodule and update_librespot.sh situation, but this is a new problem to me.
I've looked at librespot and spotty. It looks like replacing spotty with upstream librespot would require writing a new integration bridge in rust. That seems like it should be in a different pull request.
Hi, in this plugin, Spotty is used to control a LMS server. To use Spotify Connect, a second service of Spotty is started. I don't know why the same service is not used ... That second service might be replaced by libspot but I thing it's better to make a choose between librespot and spotty to control everything.
I've just updated a new version on my fork. i've made some progress with Spotify Connect. It plays song but pause/resume and volume are not working.
Hi! I could use some advise on how to install this in kodi. Thanks for your work. Kind regards!
Hi, I'm also having trouble with playback. Everything else seems fine until I select track and hit play. Spinning cursor icon comes up then after about 30 seconds gives up. I'm using Kodi 19.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.2. The relevant part of the Kodi log follows. I'm happy to do more ongoing testing if you want some help.
Thanks, glk
