Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotify Protocol Handler - play Spotify on all your Squeezeboxen
I had issues with Triode's Spotify plugin and two synchronised Squeezebox Boom units, so I thought I'd try the Spotify Protocol Handler plugin instead. I installed it and the Logitech Spotify app fine, and a single unit will play happily. However when I synchronise the two units, the sound cuts out after a few seconds, each unit struggles to play, then there's long periods of silence. Sometimes the track skips to the next track in the playlist. Looking at the /var/log/squeezeboxserver/spotifyd.log file, I see similar errors to what I reported here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?79706-Announce-Spotify-Premium-Plugin-(Beta)&p=851360#post851360 >From what I've read here, synchronisation should work with this plugin - is that correct? meowsqueak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105187 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)
I have an issue when I'm running two Squeezebox Boom's with Triode's Spotify plugin in synchronised mode. This seemed to work for a while (a few weeks), but now I notice that the music often cuts out after a few seconds, and sometimes skips to the next track. It's almost unplayable, however at times it will play happily for 5-10 minutes without issue. I thought it might be related to the wireless network, but I've ensured that signal strength is OK, and each player will play fine on its own. Then I noticed that the cut-out effect is just like what happens when I'm playing Spotify on my phone and someone else in the family starts it up elsewhere - Spotify cuts one of the devices off, which then auto-logs in again, causing the other to cut out. I wonder if this is what is happening here? Can anyone confirm whether this is the case? Is it possible to synchronise two players to one Spotify stream with one premium account, or is a Family account required? I've looked in /var/log/squeezeboxserver/spotifyd.log during these outages and I notice that each player results in a "newstream connection from X.X.X.X" when starting to play a track. Then, when things start to go wrong "relogin requested" and "resetting streambuf" will appear, and sometimes "logged out" followed by "relogging in as user:". This doesn't always happen, but it does seem related. I also see "ChannelError(0, 1, link-tracks)" occasionally. If I turn off synchronisation, a single player will play 100% fine, with the other off. The log remains silent until the next track. meowsqueak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I think you're right - this is a relatively new feature for Spotify. I encountered this myself just the other day after converting all of my playlists to "albums", only to then discover that this plugin doesn't show saved albums, unless you have saved them via the plugin itself (and that seems to be a separate list not available through Spotify anyway). As much as it pains me to say "me too", I would like to convey my appreciation for the plugin and second this request for new functionality, please. meowsqueak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's ok, as I mentioned at the bottom of my post, it was caused by Spotify creating two accounts and logging me into the wrong one in my web browser (I suspect due to a cookie or session issue). I inadvertently upgraded the wrong account to Premium - even though I had logged in with that username/password, it actually picked up the Facebook account instead. I've resolved the issue by switching the Premium membership over to the username/password account. Thanks for responding, and thank you for the plugin, it's working fine! meowsqueak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)
As a long-time Squeezebox user but first-time Spotify user, I thought I'd give this plugin a try. I created a username/password account on Spotify, and then signed up for the 30-day Premium trial. As far as I can tell, this has all gone through correctly and the Spotify website now considers me a Premium customer. I disabled the Official Spotify Plugin in LMS and installed the Triode plugin. This seems to have been successful, as I can access the plugin's setting screen. I add my username and password, and clicked Apply. I've also restarted LMS just for good measure. The problem is that the helper app (and /var/log/squeezeboxserver/spotifyd.log) now reports: log_message:80 log: 21:56:44.643 I [offline_authorizer.cpp:289] Unable to login offline: no such user log_message:80 log: 21:56:44.643 I [ap:1766] Connecting to AP ap.spotify.com:4070 log_message:80 log: 21:56:44.838 I [ap:1224] Connected to AP: 194.68.29.67:4070 log_message:80 log: 21:56:45.348 E [ap:4097] Connection error: 409 logged_in:50 logged in error: Needs a premium account logged_out:60 logged out As far as I can tell, the username and password are correct, because if I change either slightly I get a different error: "Bad username and/or password". I've tried restarting LMS, and also running the Self Test, which fails on "Not Logged In" and "Failed To Retrieve Metadata". meowsqueak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
