    Hi,

    I've the following setup: Raspberry Pi 2 with Hifiberry DAC+, LibreELEC 7.90.010 (Kodi 17 Beta 7).

    I set the DAC as Audio Output in the LibreELEC Settings. I configured the Spotify Addon with the Wizzard (Service at Port 4000 is running). When I press play, I don't hear anything. If I change the Audio Output in the LibreELEC settings to HDMI I can hear the music (through the Hifiberry DAC). When I change it back, I can't hear the music anymore

    Could someone explain what I am doing wrong?

    thanks!

    Thank you,

    but it doesn't work for me.

    I think my key isn't made for any acc. Just a "test-key" maybe.

    Do you guys see you're acc name at this place? ....Established under name 'TestConnect'.....

    I tried to put just the "BASE64 APPKEY" text which is written in the email, as well. But same problem. So i don't know.

    I have this name too

    Thanks.

    But I can't find in the "28 issues" any problems like this, on github.

    Edit:
    I have 4 options in my email from spotify.
    HEX/BASE16 APPKEY
    BASE64 APPKEY
    BINARY APPKEY
    C APPKEY

    Under these options are a lot of "words" :D Maybe i can do something with this stuff? :D

    Well, and the spotify_app.key from spotify, as well.

    you can generate your app key by doing the following steps:

    1. open Base64 Online - base64 decode and encode
    2. paste your key in the into the field
    3. select decode and "to binary file"
    4. save the binary file. With this file it should work

    Sorry that I am writing again, but I still have problems with the addon. Sometimes I can't hear anything. The Web Server is reachable, it shows that something is playing and it says Currently Active Device?: true

    It looks like the volume is set to low but it isn't.

    I tried to:
    - change the volume in kodi and in spotify (it doesn't make any difference if I play it from spotify desktop or the spotify app)
    - reinstall the addon
    - reconfigure the addon with all posibilities

    My setup is:
    Raspberry PI 2
    Libreelec 7.90.008
    Hifiberry DAC+ Standard Phone Jack Version

    Sometimes it helps to change the audio output in Kodi to HDMI. But 1. it doesn't solve the problem always 2. I would like to have kodi and spotify sound through the hifiberry.

    thanks for your help

    Hi

    i've one more problem:

    My maximum volume output is changing randomly since i am using the addon. After I listened to music and try to watch a video, the volume is more silent than before although it is set to 100%. Then I have to go to the spotify connect addon configuration, change the initial volume (if it is set 100% I change to 80% press okay, open configuration again and change to 100% again) and then the volume is normal again.

    can someone help me?


    Hm... Difficult to assess... Try running manually:
    systemctl stop service.spotify-connect-web
    spotify-connect-web.start

    Also, are you using a key file provided by Spotify?

    I tried it with the key I got from spotify today but it does not work. I need the key as a binary file right? Maybe the key I received as the .key-file isn't a binary file and thats the problem? I don't know..

    in the mail from spotify there is a part:

    Quote


    --[ BINARY APPKEY ]---

    echo "blablablabla" | base64 -D >appkey$
    bin

    Maybe I have to create the binary key file by myself with this command but I don't know how to do that

    At the moment i am using another key and it is working.

    EDIT: Okay I just succeeded creating a binary file out of the code spotify sent to me in the email. I will test tomorrow if it works


    Maybe have a look at

    journalctl -u service.spotify-connect-web

    You'll probably get a good info on what's happening

    I just got my app key with this message(FYI):


    under this there were some code like:

    --[ HEX/BASE16 APPKEY ]---

    *code*

    --[ BASE64 APPKEY ]---

    *code*

    --[ BINARY APPKEY ]---

    *code*

    --[ C APPKEY ]---

    *code*

    ----
    there is also an attachement with the spotify_appkey.key

    The Problem is:
    It isn't working anymore. I don't get any connection to the webservice. With the key I downloaded from the internet, is is working.
    Do I have to create the binary file by myself? I copied the code under --[ BINARY APPKEY ]--- in a editor and saved it as spotify_appkey.key but this neither works.

    EDIT1: in other words: How do I create the binary file out of the code?
    EDIT2: the binary code starts with echo. When I put it in terminal it says: Invalid character in input stream
    Do you have any idea @awiouy

    thank you!

    thanks!

    Is the spotify_appkey.key unique oder the same for every user? I just found one to download and it is working.
    I see the webinterface on port 4000.

    Now my problem is: The webinterface shows the playing music but mostly I don't hear anything. But sometimes it is working (I can't really reproduce it). I tried all the possibilities in the configuration wizard but that didn't solve the problem
    I am using a raspberry Pi with Libreelec and Hfiberry DAC. What do I have to select in the configuration wizard? The options are:
    - default:CARD=sndrpihifiberry
    - sysdefault:CARD=sndrpihifiberry

    Does it matter which one I select? And Mixer Analogue or Digital?

    Sorry for the stupid questions :s


    Hm... the libspotify key generation and retrieval service is currently offline... have you seen online, effe?

    mh okay I thought the automatic generation of the key is offline and I will get one manually if I fill the form... I don't know.
    I wrote spotify on twitter and they said they will look what they can do.

    Maybe I just have to wait..

    Hi,

    I'm trying to get the app key since a few days but I do not get one. I filled the request form several times but nothing happens. I wrote a mail to spotify but I think the only answers I get are prebuilt mails with content like reinstall spotify...
    How long did it take for you to get the key? I am using a familiy abo, is that a problem?
    Maybe someone has an idea what I could do

    thank you!
