However, I do not see Songs (from my Spotify library), only Albums,

in my current setup of rpi/allo, when i play spotty,
it often stops after some number of tracks and i have to manually
kick-start it
by either next or previous function.  rpi/allo is now hardwired
ethernet, so internet connection is pretty solid.

so, i'm considering getting another streamer in addition to rpi/allo
combo:
som-200 neo and lumin u1 mini.
som is more like rpi/allo in that it has sqlite/lms support whereas
lumin has built-in spotify.
so, besides hardware quality, i was evaluating the software setup
advantages.
if you have any more thoughts, please...

hello michael,
this is my understanding of basic flow of streaming bits from spotify:

sqzlite/rpi4 < spotty/lms < spotify

if this is correct, is there practical advantage of running lms inside
rpi4,
so as to eliminate some lan traffic?

please set me straight on this...

When this one-track-behind occurs, it also happens on the LMS web
interface.
So we can rule out squeezelite on RPI.
Michael, please take a look at the dump; I'm sure it will give you some
hints hopefully.

As I stated before, this does not happen each time but often enough to
be bothersome.
I don't have a clue what triggers it.

It only happens with Spotify playists, never local music. I'd guess it
happens nearly always; once in a while, it tracks perfectly.

I have been noticing this on my RaspberryPi running
jivelite/squeezelite. Half the time, it is showing the album track
previous to what is currently playing. I am not sure who is the culprit
here, RPI or Spotty or what?
Any ideas on what to look for?

hello michael,
is there a repository where you keep old versions of Spotty?
that way we can easily try them out.
this issue with disappearing Connect device is very frustrating; it
comes and goes at random!

2020-07-10 Thread pavowren


hi michael,
just to follow up, the issue of not being able to transfer playback to
the Spotty device is inconsistent.
usually in the morning when both LMS and squeezelite boot up, i can
select the device and as long as i leave it alone, it plays just fine.
but if i change to another device and try to re-select the Spotty
device, it will not work.
at that point in time, the log shows the following entry:

[20-07-10 07:45:02.0192]
Plugins::Spotty::Connect::DaemonManager::checkAPIConnectPlayers (208)
Connect daemon is running, but not connected - shutting down to force
restart: dc:a6:32:4e:be:ab buster

and in a minute or so, the device re-appears in the device list.
whether it can be selected or not is random it seems

no, i do not see any 429's.

UPDATE:  well, the problem is back with the "monitor-connection" option
still set.
one thing to note is that i can play Spotify using the LMS webUI just
fine, except for the fact that Spotify does not seem to be aware
that it is streaming to the connected device.

For couple of days, I have been having trouble with selecting a Spotty
device.
When I click on the device in Spotify app, it shows it in green
highlight and then immediately de-select it.
Spotty device would disappear from the list and then, moments later,
re-appear.

This morning I set the option in Spotty settings and like magic, the
device stays selected and 
of course, plays music!

Please someone explain what is happening...

i know it is *hard* to believe, but i have had issues when connecting to
5 ghz ssid.
i'm certain that you can take out that v4.0.6 disable-asynch option,
though i do not know the situation with the other fellow that was having
the token problem.

in any case, at this point,
Spotty is running perfectly!   no skipping of tracks, no delays...
thank you very much for your work and attention.

if you have ANY idea as to how and why 5ghz a.p. would cause such
issues,
i am very curious to know.   my searches have not turned up this thing
about DFS:

"This mechanism is known as Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and is
designed to mitigate interference to 5GHz radar by WLANs."

i have found the culprit:
5GHz wifi access point used by LMS machine.

i happened to check the machine and it was connecting to the 5GHz AP
i'm guessing due to its stronger signal.
i disabled the 5GHz and instead connected to the 2.4GHz AP.

and all seems to be working normally!

n.b. 
come to think of it, i have had issues with 5 GHz elsewhere.
e.g., on a laptop running Ubuntu, Thunderbird has trouble connecting to
mail servers.

hey, i'm glad (i guess) i'm not the only one!
playback behavior is totally wacky; never seen anything like it before.
even in the good old days, playback was somewhat erratic,
often skipping the first several tracks either altogether or just few
seconds, 
but otherwise listenable.

no, i'm definitely in no mood to go back and try the token error again.
i'm going to just stick with Node for Spotify
and use SqueezeLite for local library...

Ogg has been disabled for Spotty.
no token timeout errors.
but playback is a problem; when a track is selected, sqzlite shows
"Connecting..."
yesterday, i saw that at least on the LMS web page, after about 2
minutes, the progress bar
jumped back to zero point and i could hear normal audio.
after that track stopped, then again no audio.

hi, michael,
with 4.0.6 and the new option, i'm no longer getting the token error.
i can select Spotty and all view appear as expected.
but NO audio!

all apps show the squeezelite device playing; progress bar is
advancing.
at the RPi screen, i do see the correct album cover but shows
"Connecting..."  and as i say, no audio.

just looking at HTTP.pm, it looks to me like the error is in the

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)

2020-05-01 Thread pavowren


here's what i'm seeing and i am confused!

sqLite - runs on RPi with LMS/Spotty, which runs on a Linux machine on
the lan.
myfy - my own app using Spotify WebAPI

1) i can see sqLite and select it on Spotify app as well as on myfy
2) as far as Spotify is concerned, everything is ok since the track is
playing and progressing
'cause i can monitor it, only visually, there is no sound out of sqLite
device
3) but LMS web page does not show Spotify

so, apparently Spotty cannot get the refresh token and so cannot receive
data?

Plugins::Spotty::API::Token::_killTokenHelper (169) Timed out waiting
for a token

but there is this error in server log.  
[20-05-01 13:15:01.0190] Slim::Networking::IO::Select::__ANON__ (130)
Error: Select task failed calling Slim::Web::HTTP::processHTTP: Not a
SCALAR reference at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 1793.
; fh=Slim::Web::HTTP::ClientConn=GLOB(0x55fe43c501b8)

is this error related to the token error?
they appear together.

Our Web API access is being revoked with no appeal
kingosticks4
kingosticks4 Newbie
yesterday

Hi Spotify and fellow Spotify Developers,


We've been using Spotify's various APIs in our free and open source
software since 2009 but we received an email on April 27th stating our
Web API access will be revoked:

After reviewing your application, we have found that it is in breach of
our terms and conditions due to the following reason(s):
Integration with third party services: Spotify streams are combined with
the streams from another service, or allow users to transfer metadata
to/from a competing music service.
We will be disabling your API key in fourteen (14) days, which will
prevent your application from accessing the Spotify developer platform.
Please note that it is not possible to reply to this email.

We use the APIs in good faith and have done so for over 10 years. To
receive this email with no chance to appeal or even speak to a human
being is really disappointing. If we are in breach of the impossibly
vague terms specified then we'd really like to have a chance to rectify
this. We have worked extremely hard on integrating Spotify into our
project and our software is only available for use by Spotify Premium
subscribers. We don't think this is how a big tech company like Spotify
should treat it's developer community. Can we please have some
information on how to appeal this decision.

Thanks,
Nick

of course, you are right about going back to previous version. it made
*no* difference.
it seems rather draconian for Spotify to reject outright any
authentication request;
that is not rate limiting.  perhaps, during these days of extreme
streaming, they are
disabling all non-oem-vendor devices.   fortunately, my Blue Node is
working fine.

since as i recall, Spotty was working before the upgrade, i will give it

so, is the token problem a Spotify issue as far as you know?
what is to be done if anything?

i do not plan on moving to LMS 8, nor do i need the

i'd really like to go back to the latest 3.x Spotty.
is this possible?
otherwise, my squeezelite is useless without spotify!

2020-04-29 Thread pavowren


squeezelite has been running on rpi3 for months...
until yesterday when spotty was upgraded to 4.0.3.

squeezelite device shows up in Spotify as usual and i can activate it as
usual.
Spotify shows it as playing but at rpi3, there is no display of track
(via jivelite).
and no audio.
one other thing i have noticed: 
when i click on Spotty in My Apps (on LMS web page), it never loads.

all other functions including internet radio and local music work as
before.
any ideas what went wrong?
or is there a way to try reverting back to previous version of Spotty?

raspberry-pi is running Linux 4.14.71-v7+ armv7l

squeezelite auto-starts via /etc/systemd/system/squeezelite.service if
that's what you're asking.
But the actual playback is via my android app which submits the playlist
to spotify. This skipping issue is "random" in that
sometimes it does not occur and when it does occur, the number of
skipped tracks (always in the front of the list) can be 1,2,3, or 4.
And eventually, the playback continues normally.  

When I tried the LMS web interface to submit a playlist, the problem
does not seem to happen.
I've tried several times and there's no skipping of tracks.
Unfortunately, I rarely if ever use this interface.

So, it would seem to indicate my android app and its submission which
has not changed in recent months.
I'm using Spotify Web API and send an array of URI's.
I'm really at a loss as to how to further investigate this "moving"
target of a problem...

yes, i'm running v2.7.5 with the default (auto) setting for the helper.
i've always been curious about the Helper Application; what exactly is
its function?
i tried the raspotify in RPi as an independent, local Spotify Connect
but it did not behave much better.
in fact, it would stop after the current song, so i'm back to Spotty.

the long song gaps are something that i can live with but much more
troublesome is the disappearance of Connect device
and my having to restart LMS to bring it back.
please see the short excerpt of another server log.
my best guess is that Spotify itself is very sensitive to streaming rate
and when the client is not consuming in perfect order,
it terminates the connection.  is that what's happening?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty: odd behavior under slow internet

2019-03-13 Thread pavowren


Hello all, I'm one of those cord-cutters whose only internet connection
is a mobile hot-spot.
When t-mo is open full-throttle (up till 10gb), it can clock up to
30mbps or even higher and everything's beautiful.
But when 10gb allotment runs out, the speed goes down to 600kbps and
that's when odd behaviors appear.
It is not an impossible situation but I'm hoping for some explanations.

Here's my setup:
RaspberryPi 3B+ runs squeezlite/jivelite. It has a Allo DigiOne which
feeds into external DAC.
When it works, the sound is absolutely great and I can't imagine it
getting better.
Intel NUCi7 runs LMS 7.9.1 and that's all it runs with local music
stored in SSD.
All devices are on LAN where the local router is hard-wired to a WAP
which connects to the hotspot.

Odd behavior:
1) with Spotty audio set at Extreme (320kbps), gap between songs is av.
50 seconds. 
when set at High (160kbps), gap is "normal" anywhere from 1 to 5
seconds.

2) with either setting, if I disrupt the bandwidth by surfing the net
for other activities,
music stops playing at the end of the current song and does not
continue.  The Connect device is gone.
Only remedy at this point is to restart LMS; I've made a button for that
purpose.
When LMS comes up, Spotty device appears again, and I activate it to
begin the playback.

Here's some relevant server log:

sorry but why is this "totally" off-topic?
i'm guessing due to the second issue not being directly relevant to
spotty?
but the first issue of disappearing spotify-connect device, isn't that
spotty?

2018-11-20 Thread pavowren


first, the on-again/off-again issue of Spotify Connect device
disappearing. it just happens more often now it seems. no clear
pattern.

second, i have all components (LMS, squeezelite, jivelite) running on
the raspberry. and most importantly, LMS database is on usb drive
directly attached to pi.  so even without the internet connection, i
should be able to play from My Music. right?

but when i click on My Music, there appears a page stating "Connecting
to...  raspberryPi" or something close and
eventually, it fails.
all works if i enable the internet connection via wifi hotspot.

please give me some ideas to try.
thank you...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.3.0 - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2018-07-31 Thread pavowren


that 2 separate Spotify streams are going simultaneously?
Not that i'm complaining bitterly but just curious how Spotty works.

here's what's happening:
when the RPi boots up, a script starts up a favorite playlist which
happens to be Spotify.
and it streams just fine.
but the Spotify app (both Android and Windows) does not know about
Spotty stream.
so i can start another streaming and both play at the same time.

mine is a standard premium subscription, not a family plan.
can someone explain?

ok, where exactly do i enable INFO logging?
this morning Spotify playback has been just fine; no stopping, no
hiccups
key word is erratic.

i have had absolutely no issues with Connect device showing up,
at least, in Windows and my Android app.
however, Spotify on Android does not see the device at all under pCP
whereas
under max2play, it sometimes did. go figure...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.3.0 - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2018-06-26 Thread pavowren


these are some symptoms:

1) often playback stops when one song completes. of course, there are
more in the playlist. i have to kick start it.
2) several times, i could hear a split-second blip of the next song and
then, nothing.
3) earlier in the day, a restart of LMS made this behavior go away.  now
it is back.
4) i am running pCP v3.5.0 and LMS 7.9.2

only thing i can think to try now is complete re-flash and then,
back to max2play i suppose.  
please offer some advise here since i really want to stick with pCP.
i've pretty much convinced myself that the sound out of Allo DigiOne is
better here...

i'm on pCP 3.5.0 with LMS 7.9.2.
suddenly this morning, Spotty stops after each song and I have to
manually start it again.
from the sound of it, it plays split second of the next song and then

any idea what's causing this?

"oddly" is for sure.
just now, Android Spotify showed the device at the bottom bar as the
active device.
as stated, it normally does not do this.
per your comment, i tried a complete re-install and there's no device at
the bottom bar,
just in the settings...

what is pCP?
i now do the "shutdown" command before powering off.
but the volume upon boot, it's always back to 50.

No, that option is not checked.
Let me clarify:
Android Spotify app does show the device if i dive into the
settings/devices;
it just is not aware that something is playing on the device.
Whereas Windows Spotify always knows correctly.

Somewhat related question:
When I start up the RPi and start Spotty, the volume is always at 50.
Who determines this?  and is there a way for it to recall the last
setting?

yeah, you are right, of course.
i now issue the "shutdown" command before pulling the plug.
spotty has been steady ever since.
spotify device now appears reliably...

strange thing is that Android Spotify app rarely shows its own; luckily
i rarely use the app.
my own app which makes spotify web api always gets the device.
Windows Spotify app shows the device however, so i'm not sure what is up
(or down) with android version.

in any case, thanks michael for providing Spotty!
it really serves a need.

well, i normally switch off the main strip. what is a proper shutdown?
come to think of it, yesterday, the audio simply disappeared (i'm
assuming something crashed) and 
i had to reboot the pie.
by the way, where would i look for system log to see what crashed?
does Spotty have its own log?

thanks michael for your prompt response!

2018-06-02 Thread pavowren


hello,
once in a while when i start up my RaspberryPi (running max2play),
the spotify device is missing.
this morning i happen to be browsing the LMS settings and noticed that
on the advanced settings page,
the device was "unchecked" for Spotify Connect.

as soon as i checked it and applied, the device showed up immediately.
so the question is:
how did that get unchecked on its own?
i sure did not.

any ideas?

2018-05-25 Thread pavowren

hello,
i'm running Spotty under max2play on RPi, all the latest software.
the Connect device shows in the SqzLite controller app, Orange Squeeze;
and only after i select the device there, does it show up elsewhere like
Spotify app itself.

i do have the following Spotty option un-checked:
Don't announce Squeezebox players running in Spotify Connect mode in
your network

it's just that i don't want to have to take that extra step of Orange
Squeeze.
upon boot, i expect to see the Connect device in Spotify app directly.

please advise...

hello from an old SBox user now on RPi running max2play with
LMS/Spotty...
i have a bit more info for you to chew on:

1) i tried to un-check the option   "Don't announce Squeezebox players"
but it will not stick. why wouldn't i want to announce all connect
players?
once when it seemed to stick, the device showed up.
2) "max2play" device is fleeting in appearance. my own android and
windows apps (which uses spotify web api) see it the most. Spotify's own
apps do not; did yesterday.
3) android app, OrangeSqueeze, can always see "max2play" since it is not
using spotify api as far as i know.  it's just a controller for the
SqzLite player inside RPi.
4) at one point, i had two spotify sessions streaming (i only one
premium account, not a family).  one on max2play and another on the
desktop.  how is that possible?

my best guess at this point is Spotify is messing with servers and
updates...
just a week or so ago, suddenly the ProgressTime was being reported as
0.  then after 2 days, it works again.
of course, this wasn't the first time something wacky happens at their
end.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control, a squeezebox remote app, is now available for Android

2013-05-19 Thread pavowren

i've now tried all available controller apps including commander,
orange, and logitech's own.
each has +'s and -'s.   all are fairly robust and do not crash, always a
good sign of a good program.
commander's biggest strength is in its handling of large lists such as a
list of 700 songs or albums.
when scrolling, it offers that fast icon allowing you to move up and
down very efficiently and 
most importantly, it remembers the last position so that when you return
after queuing up a track or two,
you are exactly where you were!

this is missing from squeeze control and at its highest price point, it
should definitely include this behavior.
one important feature to be applauded is the ability to switch music
source or server.
