Librespot with streaming to Kodi is available through the LibreELEC Add-ons repository.

Enjoy!

works as expected. I noticed the changes to configuration but did not invest more time in them aside from switching to kodi playback.

is there anything in particular, that I could test for you?

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I did not overlook anything obvious.

I have updated streaming to Kodi, and it might be ready for release.

Thank you for testing and providing feedback here.

Code

Preview for Generic

Preview for RPi2

I have have updated streaming to Kodi:

~~Code~~

~~Preview for Generic~~

~~Preview for RPi2~~

Improvements:

Update to latest librespot.

Stopping Librespot playback in Kodi restarts librespot service, playing user is disconnected.

librespot service is stopped during Kodi playback.

Cosmetic changes.

Known issues:

Kodi user interface erroneously displays default addon settings after Librespot playback.

This likely lies with Kodi.

Thank you for your feedback.

Done. Rust-Crypto fix for Intel "Westmere" CPU's by shanemeagher · Pull Request #208 · plietar/librespot · GitHub

Merged already! That was fast! Thanks!

awiouy This commit fixes the 2nd issue.

Thanks,

I will add a corresponding patch at LibreELEC. Please PR it upstream at librespot.

Thank you for the feedback ZyanKLee

I will see if I can reduce the latency introduced by ffmpeg.

As for not being able to stop feedback from another account, I think it is a (quite logical) feature of librespot. I was thinking of enabling the Kodi user (rather than the connected Spotify user) to stop Spotify playback.

I will see if there is a way to provide playback information, but the only information readily available seems to be the title of the current track.

I created a proof of concept to demonstrate playback through Kodi.

~~Preview addon for Generic~~

~~Preview addon for RPi2~~

~~Code~~

To activate set Mode to Kodi in the addon settings.

Librespot will therequest Kodi to play the stream onstart (every time librespot starts playing a track), provided Kodi is not playing something.

This should solve some of the issues raised in this thread, namely:

interference with Kodi newphreak

discontinuous playback ZyanKLee

screensaver klisk

volume

User interaction is rudimentary and work in progress.

We heard some of "Bibi Blocksberg", "Jake und die Nimmerlandpiraten" and "Leo Lausemaus" which are in German, so it might be hard to notice if you wouldn't understand it. I can try to find some english audiobooks later this evening.

I notice some delay with playback on track change. this is most annoying with audiobooks when on each track start aproximately 1 second is missing/silent. This only happens with playback via librespot - playback with kodi works as expected.

I have no experience with Spotify audiobooks. Please provide an example, so that I can try to reproduce your issue.

awiouy : My intel NUC is wired (macbook & other control devices are wireless, but I think we don't care ^^)

I'll also try the plugin directly on raspberry-pi-1 with raspbian (wireless), but in my case the issue was on the intel nuc

Hm... DNS error suggests that network is not fully up when librespot starts... I would like to understand then mitigate

Note that activate_card is merely a function, called somewhere in the script, and that this function does nothing on x86_64.

Quote from T0mT0m

Ok...I tried to put a "sleep 5" in /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start at line 24, between

oe_setup_addon service.librespot

and

activate_card() {

AND IT WORKS

->

...

. /etc/os-release

. /etc/profile

oe_setup_addon service.librespot

sleep 5

activate_card() {

if [ -e "/proc/asound/$1" ]; then

...

It seems to be a ressources start order issue. I don't know exactly which ressource...maybe sound or network cards? Or librespot service starts too quickly, not sure about that...

Is your network wired or wireless?

Rust has been added to the LibreELEC toolchain.

Librespot provides an example of a Rust package.

Looking forward to further Rust packages.

Spotify Connect Web is replaced by Librespot, and is not further maintained.

**awiouy** · Librespot Add-on **awiouy** June 24, 2017 at 7:32 AM

Librespot is available through the LibreELEC Add-ons repository for all LibreELEC projects, enjoy!

Hey, is there a more recent build of this addon than "RPi2.service.librespot-8.1.100.zip"? The first post by awiouy links to "RPI2.service.librespot-8.1.90.zip" and I am not sure where I got version 8.1.100 from.

The merged MR on libreelec github project seems to also not having arrived in the official repository as of now.

We noticed a build issue while building librespot, which is fixed by PR #1707. Librespot should be available soon for all projects, via the LibreELEC Add-ons repository. Thank you for your patience.

awiouy I've tested an x86_64 build of the addon pushed to LibreELEC, librespot: initial addon by awiouy · Pull Request #1622 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub, and I can confirm its working as intended.

One issue encountered though when compiling is that adding rust to the depends results in a conflict with the existing rust that I have already installed on my system.
Code
  BUILD    rust (target)
info: downloading installer
warning: it looks like you have an existing installation of Rust
warning: rustup cannot be installed alongside Rust. Please uninstall first
warning: run `/usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh` as root to uninstall Rust
error: cannot install while Rust is installed
Rustup checks for other installs and exits with an error if it finds another (see rustup.rs/issues/953). Not sure if we can edit the downloaded install scripts on the fly as suggested in comment-299596429 until a fix is added upstream.

Thanks for your invaluable contribution to Re-enable avahi support for discovery by awiouy · Pull Request #201 · plietar/librespot · GitHub, and thanks for you feedback.

As for rustup, could the simplest workaround be to remove other rust installs from PATH before building rust in LibreELEC?
