When will 119 be available? Where can I find it?

When it is merged, built and pushed.

If you tell me what version of LibreELEC you are running on what hardware, I might provide you with a pre-release here.

Well, I figured it out.

My goal: Use librespot on an RPi3 running the latest Kodi/libreelec combo playing via alsa (Cirrus audio card), since the TV I have is not that good for playing music, but good enough for films and series and I have a hifi system which I use for music only

How I got there:

0. Install Librespot via Addons on your RPi

I had done this way before I stumbled into the problem with the missing alsa option, so you also might have done this already. If not install the kodi nerds repository and install it from there.

1. Setup a fresh Ubuntu VM

For Windows users: download latest image from ubuntu website and use VMware Player with easy setup. Make sure Ubuntu has 30Gig disk space.

2. Install Docker

Follow the instructions here: Docker Install Guide

For a fresh machine you can directly go to step 3 of the guide:

Inside the ubuntu VM open a console (Win-key and type cmd)
Code
sudo su
apt install docker.io
systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker
3. Install Curl, Git and dependencies

You will need this for the next steps.
Code
apt install curl
apt install git
apt install libasound2-dev pkg-config
4. Install Rust

This is done via rustup.rs

Or use this code directly(could be outdated!):
Code
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
5. Get the latest version of the librespot project from github

Make a new folder, maybe in your home directory and clone the git into it
Code
mkdir /home/libspot
cd /home/libspot
git clone https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot.git
This will make a new folder: /home/libspot/librespot

6. Make the docker image

Source: Cross-compiling
Code
cd /home/libspot/librespot
docker build -t librespot-cross -f contrib/Dockerfile .
The last '.' is crucial!

7. Finally Cross-Compile

After following all preceding steps you should now be able to run following command:
Code
docker run -v /home/libspot/librespot-build:/build librespot-cross cargo build --release --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --no-default-features --features alsa-backend
This will direct the output to /home/libspot/librespot-build/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release/

8. Transfer your new binary to your RPi

Locate the "old" binary of the librespot addon here: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/

Use the "Files" app of your ubuntu system to transfer the file "librespot" to your RPi. Use "Other Locations" and type in the field on the bottom of the "Files" app:
Code
ssh://ipaddress/
User: root

Passphrase: libreelec

Then copy the file "librespot" to your RPi into /storage/downloads/

From there use a ssh shell and replace the old file with your new one.

9. Make it work...

Last thing on the list, edit the file: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/bin/librespot.start

I got rid of two or three options, which I don't need. Feel free to add them back in.

After this, librespot should be started automatically at systemstart. If not you can use following command to see what's going wrong:
Code
journalctl -u service.librespot
Good luck and good night.

The Librespot addon is intended to play via Kodi.

However, revision 119 of the addon will bring back an ALSA backend to librespot.

It will then be possible to start librespot for ALSA with a separate custom system.d service, ie skip steps 2 to 8 of @muellersjan's hack.

This custom service will be able co-exist with the addon and to pick-up updates of librespot shipped with the addon.

Custom services will of course be discussed in this forum but not in this thread.

Woa!

It would certainly have been easier to wrap a system.d service around the binary you compiled.

I would prefer such hacks being discussed elsewhere than in this thread. After all, my idea of the addon is to play Spotify as simply as possible on a simple device.

Nevertheless, from revision 119 on, the addon will ship librespot with an alsa backend to support alternative uses, eg as a separate user defined system.d service.

It is complicated to write an addon that supports both playing through alsa and playing through kodi, so decided to support only playing through kodi.

Quote from Sappi

Hi I am on wireless and there is nothing I can do about that ... however I doubt that this is the reason for the service executable crashing.

But I got an update on this:

I tried deinstalling and reinstalling the addon, but with no success, same issue as before. Then I went the the hard way:

- setup build environment within docker container on my libreelec machine

- got the librespots sources

- applied the patches from the Libreelec repo

- build everything

- and replaced the executable within the addon with the newly build one.

Now things are back to normal, everything works.

But some rather general questions reamain:

Why the addon installation process repeatedly installed a corrupt binary ?

Where is the binary coming from ?

Is it precompiled in the addon repo ? Or is it build while installing ?
What is the url of the libreelec official repo ?

Display More

The librespot binary is built with the LibreELEC toolchain and packaged in the addon that you download.

It could be that the addon cache (/storage/.kodi/addons/packages) contains a corrupt version of the addon.

You could try to remove it with rm /storage/.kodi/addons/packages/service.librespot* and then try to reinstall the addon.

Hi awioy, another ROCK64 user here (Rockchip rk3328) - I tried running the addon and I think I am still facing the issue that tattermunge was facing last year.

I would greatly appreciate it if you had the time to take a look at what is happening there!

How stable is your network connection?

Is it wired or wireless?

If it is wireless, then try to switch to wired.

Interesting problem here.

tl;dr: audio playback is slowed down (maybe 90% of original speed) when playing through the 3.5mm port.

I have librespot add-on running on libreelec on my RPi2. Audio output is through the 3.5mm port to my receiver. Normally there is no tv connected asthis is only used to send spotify to my old receiver.

It used to work fine, but now songs are played slowed down. Maybe 80-90% of normal speed. This behaviour started about 2 months ago.

I just tried connecting the pi2 to my TV through the hdmi port and lo and behold, the playback is fine through hdmi.

Went back to 3.5mm, and it's still too slow.

Any idea what might be going on?

thanks

hello! is it possible for you to support podcasts? It was just recently implemented in volumio, dont know if you use the same stuff but here is git pr. [Volspotconnect2] Update `vollibrespot` to `0.1.8` by ashthespy · Pull Request #247 · balbuze/volumio-plugins · GitHub

I have submitted a pull request to update librespot to 0.1.0 with podcast support.

It should be available soon.

Hi there!

Librespot stopped working for me since 3 or 4 days ago. The system is not visible as a playback device in Spotify anymore. Neither on my smartphone, nor laptop, and even after several re-activations of the add-on as well as restarts of the whole system. I updated a few plug-ins, but didn't change anything else before that or since then. Maybe something on Spotify's side changed?

Thanks a lot for all the great work you put into this add-on!

Please describe your setup: version of LibreELEC and Librespot. The output of 'journalctl -u service.librespot' could also be useful.

Before, I used this:

Code

[reader]
label                         = Mouse
description                   = Mouse
enable                        = 0
protocol                      = mouse
device                        = /dev/ttyUSB0
caid                          = ...
boxkey                        = ...
rsakey                        = ...
detect                        = cd
mhz                           = 600
cardmhz                       = 600
group                         = 1
emmcache                      = 1,3,2,0

Now, I use this:

Code

[reader]
label                         = Smargo
description                   = Smargo
protocol                      = smargo
device                        = /dev/ttyUSB0
caid                          = ...
boxkey                        = ...
rsakey                        = ...
detect                        = cd
mhz                           = 600
cardmhz                       = 600
group                         = 1
emmcache                      = 1,3,2,0

I hope this helps you further

Librespot requires a Spotify premium account

**awiouy** · Oscam unter LibreElec, **awiouy** October 12, 2019 at 5:53 PM

Try with:

protocol = smargo

device = /dev/ttyUSB0

**awiouy** · Oscam unter LibreElec, **awiouy** October 12, 2019 at 2:37 PM

Smargo?

**awiouy** · Oscam unter LibreElec, **awiouy** October 12, 2019 at 11:16 AM

The configuration files are in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.softcam.oscam.

You can also access them via SMB at /userdata/addon_data/service.softcam.oscam.

Configuration depends on your card reader and your service provider.

Best would therefore be to get help from someone in a context similar to yours.

Google will probably guide you to a configuration that fits your needs.

Librespot for LibreELEC should be advertised as 'Kodi (LibreELEC)' or 'Kodi (the_name_you_gave_to_your_libreelec_system)'

**awiouy** · Oscam unter LibreElec, **awiouy** October 11, 2019 at 8:38 PM

Add-ons, install from repository, LibreELEC, services, Oscam ?
