Librespot addon

Quote from awiouy

Hello brot

I am not sure what is happening on your system.

Could you provide the output of 'pactl list modules short', to check that the addon has correctly set up pulseaudio.

Hi awiouy - sorry for the delay!

enclosed please find the requested output.

Greetings!

I disabled discovery & autoplay in the addon-options and tried to start librespot again. Unfortunately that didnt work either.

EDIT2:

alsa backend works without any issues. I just can't see any album art with the new version - is that normal?

Why is "--disable-audio-cache" always set as default in all versions? Shouldnt caching speedup the whole thing?

EDIT3:

If I start another addon after started librespot with alsa backend and I want to switch back to librespot, librespot crashes with the following error:

Is there any way to fix that?

And how can I integrate librespot with alsa backend into kodi? Even with "--notify-kodi" I can't see any information in kodi while librespot is running (album cover, playback buttons, etc)

The alsa service doesn't start at boot, I have to start it manually using ssh:

systemctl start service.librespot-alsa.service

How can I make it start on boot?

Quote from awiouy

systemctl enable service.librespot-alsa.service

I've done that from the beginning, but everytime I reset, the service doesn't start.

I don't know why but to day librespot stop working i don't see my device on spotify connect. I use latest version 9.2.0.123. After reinstal i see info "too many errors"

Device raspberry pi 2 with latest libreelec.

Hello, I am currently running librespot (version below) and the end result is that i would like play librespot through the audio jack on my pi, and also i would like to pipe this audio to snapserver. the only way i manage to do this is install snapclient also on the same pi to play the audio, but this is a little choppy. as everything run on the same box, i was wondering how i can do this?

service.librespot-9.2.0.123.zip

service.snapclient-9.2.0.102.zip

service.snapserver-9.2.0.102.zip

Thanks for the great work!!

Hi everyone, since the latest update, I can't just swipe to the next song on Spotify. Spotify closes the window. I hope I was able to describe the problem so that it is understood

Hello everyone, will there be a solution soon?

Greetings

Hi awiouy,

two Coreelec ( official 9.2.2 ) boxes are currently running. Once with s905x and once with s912, had no problems with it until six weeks ago.

Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for the add-on, it works perfectly on my raspberry pi 4 with LibreElec.

There is just one small thing that bothers me: the track length is not sent to kodi and the timer just increase forever during the whole listening session. I guess it is not easy to have it displayed properly but it seems that the kodi Spotify add-on by marceldevt (which is unusable because the Spotify connect functionality works poorly and is not maintened anymore) manages to have all playback data on screen. Is there a way to solve this "issue" ?

Hello,

I am a dedicated LibreSpot user. I’m running ver 9.0.115 on LibreELEC 9.2.3 on a RPi3. Runs flawlessly - I have it playing all day.
Whenever I try updating LibreSpot to a 9.2 version, I no longer get LibreSpot as a connection option.
Is there some simple adjust/setting I am missing?

Thanks!

Hello Sappi,

did you have more luck with Avahi turned on? I am asking because I had likely the same problem, but as awiouy mentioned earlier, Avahi must be turned on. That was my problem.

Yes, this solved the problem also for me. Sorry for not reporting earlier.

Hi awiouy,

Do you think it would be possible to port this addon to Android, so that I could use it on my FireTV Stick (which is based on Android)?

I guess the main task would be to replace Pulseaudio as the audio backend with whatever android uses, correct?

I would love to be able to stream music from my phone directly to kodi, without opening the native Android Spotiy app.

Thanks

Hi everyone, total noob here, so please forgive me.

I have LibreELEC 8.0.4 on my Raspberry Pi , but cannot find this addon in any repos.

It isn't in the Kodi repo, or the official and unofficial LibreELEC repos. Am I blind? Where can I install it? Please help!

EDIT: Nevermind, I somehow installed a really old version of OpenELEC...

Hi,

I have Librespot 9.2.0.124 working on Libreelec 9.2.4, but playback stalls after 45 minutes.

It seems that 45 minute time-to-stall is pretty consistent.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what to look for as a solution?

Thanks.
