Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Just a final note from me on this. Since changing to transcoding to FLAC rather than playing Ogg natively, there have been no problems whatsoever. Spotty is working flawlessly, and I really appreciate the library integration with my local files. Thanks again to all who helped.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Did you try to deactivate Ogg in Filetypes for Spotty? At least, for me it worked today... No more skipping... Thanks bluedog! I totally forgot about its issues... -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

As to why it behaves differently I have no idea but I am sure Michael suggested a while ago that native ogg might need to be abandoned at some point but I forget the reason.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Success! Just played two symphonies with longish movements and no skipping. I presume that with Ogg enabled, the decoding is done in the Server and with it disabled, in the SBT. (Or is it the other way round?) If that's right, I wonder why it makes a difference where the decoding is done, and why skipping only happens after 6 minutes or more? Anyway, very glad it's now working properly so thanks for the suggestions.

With Ogg disabled, Spotty (or LMS?) will transcode the Ogg-Stream to FLAC - this is the 'old behaviour' of the Spotty-Plugin, the ability to play Ogg natively was introduced not so long ago...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it and report back. I though Ogg had to be enabled for Spotty, as that's what's used for compression.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
I've uploaded the log to your Dropbox. I hope it's the right file. Three issues I'm seeing (two of them totally unrelated to Spotty :-)): - There are quite a few hints about network issues in general. Like inability to connect to mysb.com: Slim::Networking::Async::connect (114) Failed to connect to www.mysqueezebox.com:443, because Net::HTTP: connect: timeout Slim::Networking::SqueezeNetwork::Players::_players_error (377) Unable to get players from SN: Connect timed out: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond., retrying in 86400 seconds If you had intermittent network issues, that certainly wouldn't help with Spotty. - your log file lacks any timestamps. Please shut down LMS, go to the prefs and logs folders and delete log.conf (see Settings/Information for the paths). Then restart LMS. - SongInfo is flooding your log file with errors. 20-30 per minute. Unless you really, really need it, I'd say get rid of it. Inform its author about the problem. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Unfortunately, I (again) experience the same behaviour on my Windows 10-LMS. The problem was gone for a while, today I listened to Mahler, after around 8 Minutes it skipped to the next movement... I did this Client-ID thing, btw.

I've downloaded and enabled Reliable, just in case that had any bearing, and it's still skipping after 6 minutes or so. Spotty doesn't use http. Reliable won't help here. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable on the logs to know what they're telling me. I can't see a time-stamp so don't know when an event Feel free to upload, and I'll take a look.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Still trying to understand what's happening with this. I've downloaded and enabled Reliable, just in case that had any bearing, and it's still skipping after 6 minutes or so. I've tried using Spotify's app on my tablets, and it's fine, no skipping. I've tried using Squeezeplayer on my tablet and sending to the SBT, it skips. The only consistent thing is that whenever Spotify plays through the SBT, it only plays the first 6 minutes or so of a long track. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable on the logs to know what they're telling me. I can't see a time-stamp so don't know when an event happened, so don't know whether a log entry is relevant, but I accept that could be me, just not understanding the log entries. If anyone can advise exactly where the Spotty logs are kept, I'll have a look and post the relevant parts. Thanks. S.

No, the SBT is completely standard. I also tried using Spotify's app on my tablet, and using Connect to the SBT. It still skipped to the next track on the album on long tracks. However, Soundicity was still running whilst Connect was streaming. I'll later try Connect without Soundicity.

I've installed LMS 8.1 and added my new Spotify ID but it's still skipping on long tracks. LMS is on a W10 laptop, and I'm controlling it through Soundicity on a W10 tablet. Works fine on music files stored on the laptop, for streaming from BBC, other internet radio stations and Radio Paradise. It only misbehaves on Spotify and on long tracks, and not every time, but perhaps 80% of the time. Really annoying!

Serge, one might have to wait for an hour or so, for any cache to expire, after doing the ID thing. Read through the linked thread to the end. If that doesn't work then come back for Mr Herger's expertise :) There is also a Spotty specific thread I'm still breathing, so I guess that's a good thing :rolleyes: ronnie Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113391 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
