But as far as I know when I click the install from zip button it shoul run something on the background :)But I coulnt find any document that related with.
Is there any way to unlock the "apt-get" command in Libreelec?
Addon installation is managed by Kodi, and there is no CLI function to call it.
LibreELEC has no package manager, except for Kodi addons. apt is not locked, it does not exist on LibreELEC.
Trust me, give VNC a try.
There is no way to install addons from command line interface that I know of.
You can copy the files of the addon where Kodi expects them, bit you will need to activate the addon from Kodi.
I manage Librespot running on LibreELEC on a headless Raspberry Pi Zero WH via Virtual Network Computing (VNC).
Display MoreHello,
i intalled Librespot addon 8.2.107 on Libreelec 8.2.5
When I start the addon, i cannot see it in my Spotify as a device to connect to.
This is what i get by journalctl -u service.librespot command:

Any idea what could be wrong?
Thank you
Librespot starts before the network is ready.
To solve this problem, go to LibreELEC network settings and set wait for network.
I have it working, but video stutters when audio is shifted. So another solution may work better.
What I did:
- install Snapcast on Android
- install Snapclient
- install Snapserver
- set Snapserver to stream Kodi
- reboot LibreELEC
- set Kodi to use snapserver
- play a video
- shift audio
- control Snapcast on Android
Hey awiouy, i think I'll give up and just buy another set of WiFi headphones. Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it just doesn't work. Cheers
Ah! Just got my hands on an Android device...
Display MoreHi!
Thanks for this add-on! It mostly works for me. There are some hiccups and I was wondering if there is any way they could be fixed.
I am running Libreelect 8.2.5 and the only service I have installed is the latest librespot addon 8.2.111 on my RPi2.
My first hiccup is that I have to restart my Pi every time I want to start streatming. I probably just need to restart the service, but I just unplug and replug power to the Pi since it is headless. Otherwise the LibreSpot doesnt appear under available devices.
Also, it seems to be only available to one user at a time. If my wife uses it on the ipad, I wont see it appear on my phone for a few days, and the opposite is also true.
Any ideas?
cheers
Hi morglum
1. Try to set Wait for Network in LibreELEC network settings
2. Use Discovery Mode in Librespot settings (no userid/password)
Hi,
I have been busy since my last post. If you give me your LibreELEC version and system, I will try to guide you through installation.
Also, do you have an iOS device or a Spotify premium account? This might be handy to test audio output before setting up Kodi.
Do not forget to install snapcast on Android, too 
Snapcast allows to do this. I will post a how-to when I am done cooking/eating
Display MoreOk, so I removed my Spotify credentials, unistalled and reinstalled Librespot, then I've sent journalctl -u service.librespot via PuTTy and this is what I have:

PS: But now, after removing my Spotify credentials, it's working!
I am happy that it now works for you.
The messages you see are normal.
I still do not understand why the system.d service was not automatically enabled/started as it should have.
Nevertheless, enjoy!

That's weird, because I do own a premium account...Maybe I should try it again without choosing to login into my account?
At least the service is enabled and started.
I still do not understand why this was not done automatically.
To use the credentials from your Spotify app, delete username/password in the addon settings.
Ok,
This is what I have after inputing the second command:
Failed to start storage-.kodi-addons-service.librespot-system.d-service.librespo t.service.mount: Unit storage-.kodi-addons-service.librespot-system.d-service.li brespot.service.mount not found.
Then try systemctl start service.librespot
Hey man,
I've ctrl+c/ctrl+v it and, again, the result is -- no entries --
Thanks
Then try these commands:
systemctl enable /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/system.d/service.librespot.service
systemctl start /storage/.kodi/addons/service.librespot/system.d/service.librespot.service
journalctl -u service.librespot

According to your logs, the addon is installed and the Kodi addon is started.
The system.d unit should therefore also be enabled and attempt to start.
Please try again to log into LibreELEC and type journalctl -u service.librespot (exactly like this).
Hey man,
So, the result is --no entries--
That's weird, because Librespot is undoubtedly installed,
Either you made a typo, or there is something wrong with you setup.
Provide a full log: Provide Log File [LibreELEC.wiki] (not sure this is the same for CoreELEC, though)
That's weird, because it's not working...I've tried everything (restart, reinstall, etc..)
I don't know how to generate a log, though? Can you point me the way?
Thanks!
Connect to Librespot with ssh, then type journalctl -u service.librespot
