Hi Michael, as discussed earlier on GH, I registered here to post my
findings with the LMS plugin.

First of all, amazing work!

I am testing it on a Synology NAS DS716 II+ which is a Intel x86 Model.

A few small observations:

1) The x86_64 Spotty Linux executable is failing with what appears to be
a segfault:
[39959.964415] traps: spotty[14424] trap invalid opcode ip:7f6e5e691e61
sp:7f6e5cdf7880 error:0 in spotty[7f6e5e3d1000+46f000]

2) I manually swapped the executable with the Linux i686 one and now
it's playing fine.
Not sure if this is just a faulty build of the x86_64 executable or it
is my NAS. Trying to find out if I can build it from source myself to
test but that's kind of a pain on a NAS with a bare minimum OS on it.

3) I can play multiple (read: different) streams to multiple players.
This is really great but I'm not sure if it's intended and can backfire
?
I was already thinking about duplicating into multiple instances of the
spotty plugin for each spotify account linked to different players ( I
have a family subscription) but that doesn't seem to be needed. Wow!

4) With the original SpotifyProtocolHandler I was able to feed LMS (with
CLI or json api) with a Spotify playlist url. That doesn't seem to be
working now. A quick glance at your code (but I'm not an expert in perl)
is that the handler now catches all spotify protocol requests while it
should only listen to track events so that the spotify plugin can expand
the playlist requested into the individual tracks.
The behaviour I see now is that the Spotty Protocol Handler is
responding to the playlist request.

5) Crossfade doesn't seem to be working between tracks. Is that supposed
to work ?

Other than that, I must say it's working better than the libspotify
implementation. Playback and seeking is really fast and reponsive and
excellent sound quality.


Details about the NAS running LMS 7.9.1:
