volspotconnect2 not working with new spotify clients

Help and Support Help
1

Hi all,

I just wanted to inform you that spotify fails to connect to volumio with clients newer than 8.4.39… (android) and 1.0.74… (windows). Volumio is showing under devices to connect to, but when attempting after 30secs (or so) it returns to former device (still showing volumio as available device).

Downgrading to the versions mentioned above (and disable auto updates) solves the problem, but is no long term solution (IMHO) since this morning android auto refused to connect to the old version of spotify, which only could be solved by upgrading :frowning:

spotify plugin still working on volumio.

Can somebody help on this?

Thanks in advance and Cheers from Germany

A forum search before posting is always a good idea :wink: Have a look here spotify-connect-app-sync-problem-t9073.html

…and welcome btw :slight_smile:

Sorry for coming straight to the point, not mentioning what a great piece of code this is (both volumio and volspotconnect). And thanks for the warm welcome, but…

In fact I did a Forum search before, but didn´t come across the thread you mentioned. But I´m also not sure, if this is the same subject, since there is only vague information regarding the fact, that this only occurs with the newest spotify clients.

Thank you anyway, I´ll try balbuze´s dev version and see if it helps. Hopefully tomorrow I´ll have the time to.

Cheers

I’d guess this thread https://volumio.org/forum/spotify-connect-t2811-260.html as well! :wink:

Cheers!

Thank you for clearing this up, spyking. I was going to ask the question you already answered by linking this.

(Have been browsing this thread couple of minutes ago)

Once again: great work. Thank you for keeping this up!

Cheers!

Tested balbuze´s dev version yesterday evening. Connection works again! F***ing awesome piece of work, guys. Thank you once again.

Cheers!

I’m glad!

Ps, stay on the dev version for now, the official one has a few issues right now, that I need to look into.

Hey guys sorry for being off-topic, I’d also like to try this plugin, but I can’t seem to find the way to upload the volspotconnect zip to volumio. In the plugin management settings, I see no button to upload other plugins. Am I missing something here? I’m running Volumio 2.368 btw.

Read the links…

or tl;dr

wget https://github.com/balbuze/volumio-plugins/raw/master/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotconnect2.zip
mkdir ./volspotconnect2
miniunzip volspotconnect2.zip -d ./volspotconnect2
cd ./volspotconnect2
volumio plugin install

Cheers! :wink:

Do you mean, that it doesn´t play the next title, if not manually skipping? I was wondering, because I updated to the official one this weekend, which showed this strange behaviour, thinking that balbuze´s dev version has become official. But maybe I´m mixing things up. Switching back to dev this evening and try once again. Thanks for the hint.

Cheers!

Hi,

Is anyone else having this problem again ? I’ve been using volspotconnect2 (stable version) for a while now with no problems at all, sometime in the last few days it seems to have stopped working and crashes again when trying to connect from spotify on my iPhone. Checking my iPhone update log I see the iOS spotify app updated itself 2 days ago, so I wonder if they have changed something in the client that breaks volspotconnect2 again ? Here is a log snipped from the systemd journal taken when attempting to play a song:

It should be fixed with last dev version . desinstall the plugin and install the version from my github repo.

The new version is working great with all 3 of my Volumio systems. Thanks Balbuze!
