Librespot Add-on

    Quote from awiouy

    According to your logs, the addon is installed and the Kodi addon is started.

    The system.d unit should therefore also be enabled and attempt to start.

    Please try again to log into LibreELEC and type journalctl -u service.librespot (exactly like this).

    Hey man,

    I've ctrl+c/ctrl+v it and, again, the result is -- no entries --

    Thanks

    Then try these commands:

    systemctl enable /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/system.d/service.librespot.service

    systemctl start /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/system.d/service.librespot.service

    journalctl -u service.librespot

    Ok,

    This is what I have after inputing the second command:

    Failed to start storage-.kodi-addons-service.librespot-system.d-service.librespo t.service.mount: Unit storage-.kodi-addons-service.librespot-system.d-service.li brespot.service.mount not found.

    Then try systemctl start service.librespot

    Hey man,

    After typing systemctl start service.librespot I typed journalctl -u service.librespot and this is what I have:

    That's weird, because I do own a premium account...Maybe I should try it again without choosing to login into my account?

    At least the service is enabled and started.

    I still do not understand why this was not done automatically.

    To use the credentials from your Spotify app, delete username/password in the addon settings.

    Ok, so I removed my Spotify credentials, unistalled and reinstalled Librespot, then I've sent journalctl -u service.librespot via PuTTy and this is what I have:

    I am happy that it now works for you.

    The messages you see are normal.

    I still do not understand why the system.d service was not automatically enabled/started as it should have.

    Nevertheless, enjoy!

    Hi!

    Thanks for this add-on! It mostly works for me. There are some hiccups and I was wondering if there is any way they could be fixed.

    I am running Libreelect 8.2.5 and the only service I have installed is the latest librespot addon 8.2.111 on my RPi2.

    My first hiccup is that I have to restart my Pi every time I want to start streatming. I probably just need to restart the service, but I just unplug and replug power to the Pi since it is headless. Otherwise the LibreSpot doesnt appear under available devices.

    Also, it seems to be only available to one user at a time. If my wife uses it on the ipad, I wont see it appear on my phone for a few days, and the opposite is also true.

    Any ideas?

    cheers

    Hi morglum

    1. Try to set Wait for Network in LibreELEC network settings

    2. Use Discovery Mode in Librespot settings (no userid/password)

    Hello,

    i intalled Librespot addon 8.2.107 on Libreelec 8.2.5

    When I start the addon, i cannot see it in my Spotify as a device to connect to.

    This is what i get by journalctl -u service.librespot command:

    Any idea what could be wrong?

    Librespot starts before the network is ready.

    To solve this problem, go to LibreELEC network settings and set wait for network.

    I have the wait for network checkbox checked (with timeout of 20 sec).

    Any other idea?

    Thank you

    EDIT: I did not have Avahi service enabled. After enabling, I can see the device in spotify, but i am not abe to connect to it:

    Hi together,

    I'm struggling for hours now and cannot get it running on my raspi3, LE9.0 Milhouse builds.

    Earlier in this thread it seemed Milhouse builds are not captured by this addon. However, this is shoud not the case for librespot 9.0.113 (received through installing from repo) any more, right?

    Quote from awiouy

    IIRC milhouse builds use a different kernel than the latest beta, and some addons may therefore have to be rebuilt

    Quote from awiouy

    Milhouse nightlies are based on LibreELEC master (9.0), Librespot 8.1.102b is based on LibreELEC 8.1: your configuration is unlikely to work at all, because of mismatched libraries.

    Hi

    Librespot is known to run under LibreELEC 8.2 and 9.0

    You need a Spotify premium account

    Once Librespot is installed, select it from one of your Spotify apps and play tracks

    Known issues:

    - libespot starts before network is available: set wait for network in LibreELEC settings

    - wrong credentials: leave username and password blank

    - no sound: increase volume from Spotify app, select audio device or switch to Kodi mode

    Also, describe your issue in more details:

    - LibreELEC system and version

    - Spotify app system and version

    - describe what you do and where you think you have a problem
