Hi, So i got my Raspberry Pi4B and burned the piCoreplayer on the SD card and got it running on the rPi4B. However the LMS never loaded on the rPi4B, I followed several threads on how to install LMS, including creating a new larger partition on the SD card, etc., but never got it to install the LMS, I always ended with an error message. As this has nothing to do with Spotty I'd recommend you post to a new or pCP/LMS installation related thread.

It worked great! So I re-installed LMS on my laptop (clean slate), rescanned my music library, added Spotty in the third-party plugins. Now I can control Spotify on the LMS via the Squeezebox Touch on my phone using Orange Squeeze App. It is kind of a convoluted workaround, but it works.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] installing Spotty
Once you have installed LMS on your PC ... go to http://localhost:9000 - then to Settings (bottom right of screen) ... then Plugins ... then enable 3rd-party plugins ... then look through the list to enable Spotty and any others that you want. If this does not get you to the answer then best thing to do would be to start a new thread in one of the other sections of this forum (not Squeezebox Touch).
