Great work, Congratulations ...

Should version 8.2.107 work on the S905D? I have a Mecool KI Pro with this processor, installed from the LibreELEC repository, installed successfully, set user and password, but the "run" button does not enable.

Control the addon with a Spotify app (on a smartphone, on a PC).

In the Spotify app, select your LibreELEC device, and play music.

If the addon remains silent in ALSA mode, switch to KODI mode in addon settings.

Let me know if it works.

Really nice work! Very stable but one Q: Are there any plans to support Artist Slide show if Kodi is playing music? -> or Something like open.spotify.com? I really hate black and dead screens

Thanks again for the great job!

Thanks!

I could really need help with the OSD, for example get a cover from Kodi according to artist/title, as already mentioned here: Librespot addon

Tried to install latest service.webgrabplus-8.2.104l.zip preview on rpi3 running LibreELEC (official): 8.1.1 8.2, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.9.43 and recived a dependency error kodi.log

Have you downgraded your LibreELEC from Milhouse to 8.2?

if so, then your LibreELEC Add-ons repository and Mono points to 9.0

Try to install Mono (8.2.x) then WebGrab+Plus

Looking forward to your feedback

To send a command to Kodi:

kodi-send --host=127.0.0.1 -a "command"

Kodi must be running.

It is indeed possible to stop syncthing when Kodi is playing back, such logic has already been implemented in the Librespot addon.

I will look what I can do when I have the time.

Here is a preview release of the Librespot addon for LibreELEC 8.1.1 for RPi2.

It corresponds to the latest version of Librespot (ddfc28f) built with the latest version of Rust (1.20.0).

I do not expect it to solve issues reported earlier.

Give it a spin and report any issues.

Here is a preview of a new revision of the webgrabplus addon.

THIS PREVIEW WILL RESET EXISTING WEBGRABPLUS SETTINGS (an attempt is made to back them up)

SAVE YOUR SETTINGS IN A SAFE PLACE BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS PREVIEW.

Backup Attempt:

The first time webgrabplus.run is run it will attempt to save existing addon settings in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus.backup. It is recommended to backup your settings (from the /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.webgrabplus diretory) to a safe place.

Programs have been removed:

WG2MP.exe, xmltv_time_correct.exe and the corresponding scripts have been removed.

If you need these utilities, download them somewhere on your LibreELEC device and call them with the after.sh or before.sh scripts.

The user can decide which file is read or updated:

Specify which file is read or updated in the appropriate config.xml file.

Settings have changed:

siteini.pack is updated (replaced) automatically when an update is available online.

User customisations should be made in siteini.user.

Priority can be reduced:
Priority of the WebGrab+Plus.exe may be reduced in the settings of the addon.

The attached preview should run on all LibreELEC versions.

Thank you for testing and providing feedback.

Please check Aug 28 11:39:16 HTPC systemd[1]: service.librespot.service: Service hold-off tim - Pastebin.com if you can find some hints for the issue while or after switching profile. Eventually there are some warnings, errors and fails.

In addition, I faced also an (greater) issue, when I upgraded to new kodi alpha via raybuntu's rb-leia6 => NO sound:

Sep 09 23:35:50 HTPC systemd[1]: Started librespot. Sep 09 23:35:50 HTPC sh[791 - Pastebin.com
Remark:
I can selected Kodi in Spotify as device, I can also play a song and Kodi displays the artist and song name on the top right (osd), BUT I there is no sound... On the configuration, there is no option "Kodi" in "Output". Under "Output" I am able only to select "Programs". So I selected "Programs" and via ALSA I changed to HDMI, which I have also selected in Kodi -> preferences -> system -> audio device.

Hoping for helping

Thanks for the work.

With respect to your first log, it appears to be a network issue. I am not sure why this happens, since the service starts when the network is online. Try to add sleep 5 at the second line of /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start to see if it fixes.

With respect to your second log (Raybuntu LibreELEC 9.0) I am unable to assess (no corresponding hardware). I will do when LibreELEC 9.0 reaches beta.

With respect to both logs, I do not understand this error: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start: eval: line 1: 2=: not found. Please add set -x at the second line of /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start and provide a log (journalctl -u service.librespot).

Hi everyone,

first of I'm a beginner. I have a RPi3 with Libreelec and tried to install Spotify Connect Web and Librespot.

Spotify Connect Web always tells me my Username and password is wrong and at Librespot I just can't find a way to click the "RUN" button as it is grey

What am I doing wrong?

Note: I do not have the appkey file as I just requested it some minutes ago...

Thanks in advance!

Spotify Connect Web has been replaced by Librespot. Therefore use Librespot.

To use Librespot: install the addon, grab a device with a Spotify app (for example a smartphone, a tablet, a computer) and use the device to stream music to LibreELEC.

That's it.

Quote from jkgr

Firstly thanks for a great addon!

I have an issue with version 106, that may, or may not be related to to issues described above.

I'm using the lastest stable version of Libreelec, with an IQaudio DAC on a Rpi 2.

Everything worked with 105, but 106 wont work as intended.

I would prefer to use the Kodi as output, but when this option is selected, no audio will play - neither Spotify nor local files. If I choose Alsa, Spotify plays, but no other audio comes through.

The reason may be that I configured Pulseaudio to receive a Bluetooth signal - but as I wrote above, it worked in version 105, so something happened in this transition...

Furthermore, when I disable the addon version 106 the system freezes and I'm forced to do a hard reset. And for some reason (and this is really weird) at one point I had to uninstall the addon to get the audio back, as it seemed ibrespot was still running, even though the addon was disabled - but the reason for this could be the necessity of hard reset when disabling.

I very much hope, this addon will be working again soon Thanks for all the work!

Please provide the outputs of:

Only took me a few months to figure it out . Lets see how this fares: Allow avahi support using dns-sd for Discovery by shanemeagher · Pull Request #246 · plietar/librespot · GitHub

Thanks a lot!

An upgrade to the latest version of librespot is now ready.

I will now try to address issues reported in this thread,

I want to add Movies Add-ons on Kodi. Guide me the easiest way to add

I am not sure to which addon you refer. Video addons are available via the Add-on menu (install from repository)

I will have a look at the comments/requests above as soon as I have the time.

My priority is to rebase the patches with current librespot master.

I will then try to implement avoiding sink stop .

I would be happy if a Rust developer would help me submitting code upstream, this for example.

As for issues when switching profile, please provide a log (journalctl -u service.librespot)

The Emby addon only provides Emby server (ie web UI, no Kodi UI)

Quote from Kiphaas7

Tried to run the librespot plugin, looks like wonderful work but both backends do not seem to work for me...

Tried the following to no avail:

• sound of Kodi itself temporarily set to PULSE
• set 'keep sound alive' to 'off'

This is someoutput after selecting the kodi backend with the above settings.

Are you sure you are using Kodi mode? Error messages pertain to ALSA...

Quote from alexcraft611

hello

I would like to install librespot but i'm a noob and i don't understand how to install the plugin...

someone can help me ?

thanks

From Kodi main menu, select Add-ons, install from repository, LibreELEC Add-ons, Services, Libtespot

Quote from brettwnaylor

Howdy there, can anyone enlighten me to the difference between selecting output as ALSA and Kodi? My device is a wetek core and I was just wondering which option is better. Cheers.

In ALSA mode Librespot plays directly to one of your sound devices, bypassing Kodi.

In Kodi mode Librespot streams to Kodi which plays back.

ALSA mode is extremely straightforward (at least on Pi) and allows headless operation.

Kodi mode uses Kodi audio output and settings and is useful when ALSA and Kodi interfere with each other.

Try both and pick the mode you prefer.
