MikeCC · Librespot Add-on MikeCC August 5, 2022 at 5:35 PM

I recently installed LibreELEC 10.0.2 on my RPI3. First I installed the Librespot addon (Version 10.0.0.129).

But Librespot doesn't work. I can see Librespot at my Spotify App on my smartphone, but after choosing Librespot in my Spotify app no music plays to start.

In logs I can see that I get every 10s the log message, as long the Librespot addon is running :

pulseaudio[311]: W: [pulseaudio] sap.c: sendmsg() failed: Connection refused

Any ideas how I can fix this?

I have updated to version 122.

Now playing stops after a track with special character in the name (e.g. Beyoncé)

Here my log from kodi.log

The problem is:

When I shutdown the box while TV is playing the TV doesn't go into standby and the LAN LED stays on after shutdown.

MikeCC · WeTek Play Update to 9.0.1 failed MikeCC March 4, 2019 at 7:28 AM

When I try to update my WeTek Play 1 from LibreELEC 9.0.0 to 9.0.1 via tar-File (libreelec-wetek_play.arm-9.0.1.tar) I get the message "Missing (target) Kernel.img or SYSTEM!" during the update process. LibreELEC is installed in NAND.

Anybody an idea what's wrong?

There seems to be already an issue which is already fixed.

Hello,

this addon works great until a few days.

The issue is:

On my Smartphone I can start playing a song over Spotify connect on my RPi2 LibreELEC box with addon LibreSpot.

But while a song is playing and I select another song on my Smartphone the song doesn't start playing in my LibreELEC box. Instead the previous song starts from beginning again.

I change nothing on my LibreELEC box and nothing on my Smartphone.

On my Wetek play box with LibreELEC I have the same issue. On both boxes I have installed LibreELEC 9.0.0 and Librespot 114.

I also already tried the Librespot Version 115 or 144s. It's the same issue.

Anybody else with this problem here?

Regards,

MikeCC
