Librespot Add-on

Hi, your addon is so great! Will you update it for matrix?

When installing the beta 1 librespot doesn't appear on the addons repo

Thanks very much

Thanks! Great work. It works perfectly on my Intel NUC x86 with beta 1.

hello,

thank you very much for the addon!

running the latest rpi4 nightliy (le10.0 nightly-20210411-5a67b41) and librespot crashes after playing some songs from a playlist.

jomir could you please check @ Issues · librespot-org/librespot · GitHub and

Commits · librespot-org/librespot · GitHub And see if this a know bug or if there is a known fix? otherwise - can you please raise it as an issue. Do any of your song titles have extended characters?

thx! will try and test tomorrow.

playlist is running for hours now. no crash. looks like the patch fixed the problem. thank you very much!

Since the recent Spotify update librespot no longer shows up on the device list, I have rebooted and no joy from that. is there a compatibility issue or has something broke somewhere? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the addon but that did nothing also. Other devices show up as normal IE my phone & Google speaker.

Just installed Librespot for the first time on RPi 4 with last version of Libreelec and i have some questions. I see it's working through pulseaudio, although i use ALSA as my output! Why does it use pulseaudio? is it possible to make it work directly? Second question, why do i see format 1411 kbps, instead of ogg vorbis? And last question is CPU load, it's relatively higher, than when i play 16-44.1 flac format from usb storage or streaming, using upnp renderer. It's about 40% against 17-19. And it's that high on home menu screen.

Hi,

I have Rpi4 with LE 10b2 and librespot installed. Everything works well, but there is two volume regulations: in phone and in LibreELEC. My question is how to set volume always max in librespot and modify it only via Spotify in phone?

So moved house recently and unfortunately had to switch ISP and SKY (yes I know) was the only option, but now I have the sky hub librespot refuses to connect, it shows up in the list but will just flash for a bit saying its connecting then just give up and won't connect. Is there a fix or anyone else using a sky hub and have this working? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone!

Awiouy, first of all, I really like your addon, I use it daily on my Coreelec 9.2.7 system.

But I've got a question. I've seen that you have options available by editing librespot.start script at /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start

I wanted to play around with turning off normalization, but unfortunately I don't have this script in the specified folder, only the librespot binary file. I am using 9.2.125 version, and I suspect it should be there. What can I do? Do I just manually create it with the only options included in it, that I need?

I know you don't really have usage experience with coreelec, I just find this strange, I executed a find command, and this script is nowhere to be found in my system. I have installed it through Coreelec repository in Kodi.

Thanks in advance!

Apologies if this is a very basic question, but -- should this plugin still be available in the LibreELEC Addons 10.0 repository? I'm running Kodi Matrix / LibreElec 10, and have been though every submenu of the repository and can't find the addon.

Thanks for this. However when i download this zip to a usb, then install from zip I get a Failed To Install error message

_fdc_ the build issues have been fixed. The addon should be available for download in the next few days.

Oh ok great thanks. So should that pull through to the LibreElec repository if I check for updates in a few days, or would I still need to manually download the Zip?
