Librespot Add-on

  • Hi,

    It is the same issue as I was mentioned above. I use LibreELEC on intel NUC (generic version). After system reboots the Librespot add-on is not working. I have to manually disable and enable the add-on to make it works properly.

    In advance thank you for help.

    log after system reboot:

    Weird: librespot starts before alsa. A temporary fix could be to remove 'exit' at line 49 of /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start

  • Hi,

    The addon is not working after reboot even when I have commented "#exit" on the line 49

  • I installed the librespot addon on my rPi 3 running libreelec but I cannot see this device from the spotify android app. Are there any settings that I should change?

    Thanks in advance

    EDIT : I can see libreelc from the andoid app and connect to librespot but there is no sound

    EDIT : I found the solution. Had to set the playback route

  • I experience the same issue with the 8.1.90 as with the 8.1.100 version (Generic x86 verision)

    Addon won't start after reboot. I have to disable and enable it to start working properly.

  • awiouy I've tested an x86_64 build of the addon pushed to LibreELEC, librespot: initial addon by awiouy · Pull Request #1622 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub, and I can confirm its working as intended.

    One issue encountered though when compiling is that adding rust to the depends results in a conflict with the existing rust that I have already installed on my system.

    Code
      BUILD    rust (target)
    info: downloading installer
    warning: it looks like you have an existing installation of Rust
    warning: rustup cannot be installed alongside Rust. Please uninstall first
    warning: run `/usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh` as root to uninstall Rust
    error: cannot install while Rust is installed

    Rustup checks for other installs and exits with an error if it finds another (see rustup.rs/issues/953). Not sure if we can edit the downloaded install scripts on the fly as suggested in comment-299596429 until a fix is added upstream.

    Thanks for your invaluable contribution to Re-enable avahi support for discovery by awiouy · Pull Request #201 · plietar/librespot · GitHub, and thanks for you feedback.

    As for rustup, could the simplest workaround be to remove other rust installs from PATH before building rust in LibreELEC?

  • Hey, is there a more recent build of this addon than "RPi2.service.librespot-8.1.100.zip"? The first post by awiouy links to "RPI2.service.librespot-8.1.90.zip" and I am not sure where I got version 8.1.100 from.

    The merged MR on libreelec github project seems to also not having arrived in the official repository as of now.
