Display MoreHey I just upgraded really easy from openelec to LibreElec 8.0.2 on Linux
I did this to get Librespot (8.1.102). That add on works but it doesn't auto start
I tried to play with autoexec.py
import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin("RunAddon(service.librespot)")
But I guess this doesn't work because it's a service
So how do I get it to auto start ?
Autostart?
Use a Spotify application (on your phone or PC) to select Librespot@libreelec and to play tracks. Make sure that Kodi is not playing anything else, as this disables Librespot.
Also, please ask questions, report bugs and request features in the thread dedicated to Librespot.
I was indeed wrong... It does auto start
But I can't conenct with spotify until I go
librespot > configure > ok
This after every reboot
I posted it now in the librespot thread
What LibreELEC project are you running (Generic, RPi2, etc.)?
What are your Librespot settings?
What is reported in the log (journalctl -u service.librespot)?
Display MoreGeneric (linux)
I dropped the generic TAR file in my old openelec config with syslinux 6.0.3
<settings>
<setting id="ls_D" value="false" />
<setting id="ls_O" value="ALSA" />
<setting id="ls_b" value="-" />
<setting id="ls_d" value="true" />
<setting id="ls_o" value="" />
<setting id="ls_p" value="" />
<setting id="ls_u" value="" />
<setting id="pcm_3" value="0" />
</settings>
Log I will dig up in a bit
Try playing through Kodi rather than ALSA
Display MoreThat does make a big difference.
After a reboot my phone does see LibreSpot
But now it's really slow. Pushing stop on the phone for example takes 6 seconds
Going back to ALSA and it's responsive again
But then not working at boot as before
I'm using an old Asrock Ion 330 with a tiny Atom CPU
Smooth for H264 and it never let me down.
I forgot the password for openelec and the default isn't working
So getting the log is complicated
The issue with ALSA is that service.librespot starts before your ALSA device(s) are ready.
I will try to find out how to solve this.
In the meantime, add sleep 5 at line 2 of /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start
password for root is libreelec
Ok that password does indeed work so it changed with LibreElec
This did work
sleep 5
activate_card() {
if [ -e "/proc/asound/$1" ]; then
Spotify on my phone does see LibreElec now quite fast
But even though spotify does see librespot it still won't connect to it in the first minute
Too bad for this minute
But how it works after this minute is really awesome 
It's the same when playing a movie, librespot disappears from my phone
After stopping the movie librespot comes back on the phone in seconds
But then it takes a minute before it's possible to connect again
I'm going to try a clean setup on another HD just to see if it's my build causing that
Works as programmed: the librespot service is stopped during Kodi playback, as a courtesy to potential Spotify users (do not disturb). Service is restarted immediately if Kodi user stops playback, or five seconds after playback ends.
