No autoplay on Spotify Connect

[Oinkweil]

Hi Michael,

I'm using LMS in Docker with the Group Player plugin for multiroom audio (these serve two MoOde Audio Squeezelite players). Spotty works very well in Spotify Connect for single and multiroom, but with the exception that it won't autoplay.

I've tried Spotty:

• with and without Don't Stop The Music installed
• with Spotify Client ID enabled

No joy.

In Librespot, it's straightforward to set the autoplay flag, but I can't find anything similar in Spotty Helper, or documented.

Very grateful for any help or investigation.

Kind regards, David

Would it work with a single player, without the group plugin? What Spotty version on what platform are you using? What helper version (see Settings/Information/Advanced/Spotty)?

Thanks for your response. Autoplay doesn't work with a single player either.

I'm using Spotty v4.8.8 in LMS 8.3.1 running in Docker on a Pi4B with MoOde Audio 8.3.3 installed (based on RaspiOS 11.7). Helper is v1.3.0.

LMS connects into MoOde Audio via the built-in Squeezelite server.

Kind regards

And you did enable Autoplay in the Spotify app controlling the player?

[Oinkweil]

Yes

And did you enable it in LMS Settings/Player/Spotty?

[Oinkweil]

That was it! I'd missed this one setting - sorry - and now everything works.

Using Spotty in LMS with Group Players is easily the cleanest solution I can find for a multi-room system. Audio is pushed to my MoOde Squeezelite players, each with CamillaDSP applied, and it sounds fantastic.

Many thanks for your help and the work you've put into Spotty.

I'm glad we got this sorted. I didn't remember that setting either... so only when I got back to the code today I figured it out 🤦🏻.
