I’m running some troubles with spotify connect, since the latest iOs Spotify update…
On my 2 PIs running volumio & Volspotconnect from Balbuze, i can’t stream using Spotify connect. It’s still ok from the computer app, but as soon as i try to “sync” using iOS app, it disconnects.
I don’t want to bother you, but i noticed that there’s not the same behaviour between my different PIs : the Spotify Connect “sync” works smoothly on the one running iQuaudio DAC, while the one running a Kali reclocker lost the sync, stops playing, etc…
-EDIT-
I do confirm : i simply removed the Kali, and i worked fine now !! I really don’t understand why this…
Hi Balbuze,
Thanks for correcting the pause/play problem in spotifyconnect v2.
In the earlier version of this plugin - there is an option for user to choose stream quality.
Is the stream quality - “high” by default now?
Not broken but the first step is to provide a “test” version to be sure all is fine, and then update the “official” plugin page.
The new version will be updated soon…
Strange thing is that same version worked initially and was displaying metadata from spotify in volumio web UI (which is a great feature), though wasn’t connecting from Android spotify. The version you linked to isn’t doing that.
Whenever it stops working I think Spotify have finally killed it off, like they’re doing to other connect services.
Anyway thanks for the continued work on this, it is greatly appreciated.
Sorry, but I don’t understand what is not working for you…
The offical plugin stops to work, due to a change in Spotify.
We made a new version that should solve this, and brings some improvement. This version is available in my repo for testing, and will be deployed as an official plugin update. The pull request is sent, it will happen soon !
When I first updated to the current volspotconnect2 on volumio plugins page (dated 18-02-2018) I recall I was getting the current playing song from Spotify connect displayed in the Volumio UI. It had the image and metadata. This hadn’t happened before this version, and is not happening with the test version either.
One thing I am wondering is if the UI metadata was actually unrelated to volspotconnect2 and was working because I also had the other Spotify plugin installed. I recently uninstalled the main spotify plugin to ensure it wasn’t conflicting with volspotconnect2.
