When trying to play a playlist from lms favorites (spotify:playlist:.... in favorites.opml) it returns an empty playlist. Playing a single track from lms favorites (spotify://track:.... in favorites.opml) works. When trying to play the same playlist via de spotty app (via my apps) works however. Deleting /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/slimserver/Cache, did not make any difference. It just installed version 4.8.8 again

After 'rolling back' to version 4.8.2 (for no specific reason I choose this one) it worked again.

I downloaded zip from https://github.com/Blackfiction/Spotty-Plugin/tree/5456915800df4f9e6bc3f35a61631b7cdd26cf20 and unpacked. Don't know if this is the right way to find an older version
Stopped lms and replaced all files in /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/slimserver/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty (made available via a samba share)
Restarted lms Again don't know how to install it the right way. But after reboot, it still worked and version 4.8.2 is shown as the active version

What LMS version are you using? I recently added a patch to 8.4 to improve the use case you describe. And I can play a favourite with a content of spotify:album:4IUeKh2mYOX2njthGA8STM. It played correctly when selected from Squeezeplay, Default and Material skins.

I don't know about LMS favorite spotify:album:... because I don't use it. I ran into the problem because of LMS favorite spotify:playlist:...

Your LMS is more than two years old... Don't you have any way to upgrade it? As far as I know the issue you're seeing is not there in recent LMS.

I guess you mean https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver?

in pCP rpi-ipaddress/cgi-bin/lms.cgi update LMS gives there is no update. Don't know which url it uses via rpi-ipaddress:9000 settings it gives https://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v8.3.1/logitechmediaserver-8.3.1-noCPAN.tgz

how can I download and neatly install the version in https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver? eg ssh

I followed https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/upgrade_lms/ to upgrade to nightly bugfix for latest stable release (Logitech Media Server Versie: 8.3.2 - 1677516824 @ Mon 27 Feb 2023 06:30:31 PM CET) then updated spotty to 4.8.8 again. This issue is now resolved.

After making sure what the development version was, I again upgraded to it following the same guide (Logitech Media Server Versie: 8.4.0 - 1678519305 @ Sat 11 Mar 2023 09:00:12 AM CET).
