[SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.6.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

[mherger]

Minor new feature update: filter explicit content.

In the player settings in the LMS web UI you'll find a new option to
deal with explicit content. These tracks can optionally be hidden, or
marked as non-playable (they'd still show up in the menus).

I think, that Spotty was updated automatically maybe half hour ago. I
had to restart LMS.
Since then, Spotty is more or less broken.
- It connects to my Spotify client on the PC. i can see my two devices.
- After pressing play, the devices are gone.

Now i restarted LMS again, no difference: Actually it's completely
dead.
- The logs on the LMS are clean, no errors.

Btw, sometimes i need to enter the login data for spotify again.

Cheers

Martin

I was running Spotify plugin without difficulty, but then I had to
change my Spotify password, and then I had trouble accessing my Spotify
account. I got that sorted, but now my Boom and Max2Play players don't
show up in "connect to a device" in Spotify, and Spotify is blank on the
squeezebox players when I try to use it. Was there a post with specific
set up instructions for the plugin and Spotify connect somewhere?

Just go to Settings/Advanced/Spotty, remove the account and add it again.

You'll need to install LMS on your computer:
http://downloads-origin.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.9

Then go to Settings/Plugins and install Spotty from there.

The web UI never has been exact to the second. Don't worry. Listen to
the music, don't watch the screen :-)

After updating my phone software to Android Pie (from LineageOS 14 -->
16) Spotify no more finds Spotty for connect. Otherwise thereŽs no
change (same phone, same network at home, same server and so on). Now I
can only connect with my Win PC. Earlier we had same problem with wifeŽs
phone, and now I got it too. Is there any setting on android that could
cause this?

You're not on the same wireless network? Your Spotify app on the phone
is not configured using the same credentials?

[freelsjd]

I am a android and google project fi user myself. I just read where the
android pie (v9) phones were going to provide an automatic vpn mode for
that version and higher with project fi. my phone is too old to have
v9, so I do not have that right now, but perhaps you have a vpn enabled
now on your phone that may cause something to not connect over your lan.
This new feature is supposed to enable vpn on ALL connections (cell,
wifi, lan, etc.). Sounds good to have, but for Spotify devices, they
may hide from each other?

Network is the same as before and same as with the laptop. Squeezebox is
naturally connected with rj45. Credentials are one of the three
credentials that IŽve configured on Spotty settings and they are same as
before. This is really strange that it seems that everything else is the
same, but phone has got new software, and now it doesnŽt work anymore.

My phone still finds my android-tv as spotify connect client though -
same as it did before.

There recently have been a few reports of the Spotify Android app
causing problems - but some said it was working again after the latest
update?

IŽve got it working after changing my phone from 5Ghz WLAN to 2,4Ghz.
Strangely enough it still works after I changed it back to 5Ghz again.
No reboot or emptying cache helped at all.

My wifeŽs phone doesnŽt find Spotty on Squeezebox on neither of those
networks, even if IŽve changed between those networks many times. This
is really strange because both 5Ghz and 2,4Ghz networks run on same
Wifi-router.

It's a real shame that for me it's still disconnecting from spotify
connect after 2-3 songs. I've tested it on a pi zero w and a pi3, both
disconnect after just a few songs. It's infuriating because it's such
an awesome plugin other than that. (pcp 4.0.0 and latest nightly lms)

Running LMS 7.9.2 on max2play 2.47, Spotty version 2.6. Very useful
plugin, but:

random disconnects, players disappearing, track title out of sync from
what is playing, delays, etc, etc - it is happening daily, all the time,
on all Spotty and Spotify versions. :(

I'd like to pay $$ for stable release and support.

Hi,
I've posted in a prior Spotty thread (for prior vers) about issue with
hanging happening when loading Spotify playlists when using Squeezebox
classic.

This issue was resolved some time ago.
I just upgrading to latest Spotty and suddenly having some weird
behavior...it's very, very slow loading playlists...seems to hang when I
try to do various actions, the SB classic doesn't respond to cmds from
the remote, etc.
Tried deleting and re-entering correct spotify credentials.

Seeing this in log when restarting...

It looks like your LMS box is having problems either resolving DNS names
or reaching the Internet.

Has anything changed in your networking setup recently? - e.g. a new
router

Agreed, it does seem like that's potentially the cause, but the symptom
is similar to what I had some months back when there was a bug (relating
to my SB Classic) that would cause loading of playlists to hang until I
turned off the power to the SB Classic using the soft button via the
"Web Control" page. Once I turned the SB Classic back on using this soft
button, then things worked well for as long as I used the system, until
I didn't play any music for several hours, then I'd have the same issue
again of things hanging.

To check if these steps could help me overcome this issue today, I just
turned the SB Classic off/on using the web control soft button and also
opened the open Spotify player in web browser (open.spotify.com) on the
same box running the LMS server and logged in and played a song using
that open spotify player.

After doing both of the above, now things are acting normally and as
expected in every way...wondering if there could have been a regression
of that months old bug that I discussed with Michael or if all this is
just some one-off issue that won't return...I'll know sometime soon,
after I let the system sit for a couple hours without playing music and
then try to use it again.

And to answer your question: no, nothing has changed from network
perspective recently.

Thanks, Paul, for your response, I appreciate it.

Dan

Typical reason for that sort of thing is a mistake in the files that
define the update - perhaps a checksum or a version number that was not
changed.
If that is the reason then Michael will resolve it very quickly.

During the install process LMS deletes the old one ... so getting it
back is tricky.
In theory, if the old one is still available then you could make a
configuration file to download it ... but probably easiest to listen to
something else for now because it will probably be resolved quickly when
Michael sees the problem ... but it is 23:06 where he lives so might be
tomorrow.

So there's some generic (not Spotty related) networking issue or
similar. Maybe a software firewall or something? Please open a different
thread for this, as it has nothing to do with Spotty.

Please set logging for plugin.spotty to INFO, try again. Probably even
do this, check the "keep at restart" box at the top of the logging page,
then restart LMS. Upload the resulting server.log.

I track by "The Decemberists" played last night in the kitchen ... and I
heard words ... so I turned on the explicit content filter this morning
and tried to get the same track to play ... and Spotty blocked it
because Spotify had the flag set.

Thinking aloud ... how about generalising this now to a LMS feature and
have a tag for it so that it could be applied to local music as well?

And how would you tag this so LMS knows it? AFAIK there's no field in

Totally off-topic in this thread. But you can already define a custom

That's correct. And it's totally different from a disconnect you

Did you by any chance play with Squeezelite's buffer size?

is it possible to play a spotify playlist (like :

1. Terminal

So that i can prepare playlists on the pc and play it via command line

You should be able to play this exactly as it is like any other URL. Eg.
paste it in the Tune In URL field in the web UI.

I think those URLs should be playable from a playlist. Not 100% sure,
but give it a try!

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...

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

What kind of Pi are you using? All components on one can be a bit of
work. Also: you mention shutting down the network. Couldn't this be
related? Most likely the spotty deamon would sooner or later die if you
cut the connection to the internet. It's really not meant to be used
this way.

On a hunch, I replaced my wifi access point to a very powerful one, and
it lasted twice as long (4 whole songs!) So I reconnected and pressed
next track, and again 4 songs. Strange -but- We caught the "Invalid
data"!

https://pastebin.com/PuCCj5cT <- new log, with the "Invalid data" stop
at Info level.

Excellent! Spotify seems to randomly return empty responses for certain
queries. Seems to be an issue you're not alone with (searching Spotify's
github site for the http status 204 "no content" gives a bunch of
reports
https://github.com/spotify/web-api/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+204).
But I might be able to handle it gracefully when it's not the first call
of this kind. Unfortunately it's not something I can reproduce easily,
therefore it might be a bit hit'n'miss to find a workaround for this.

Hi,

first - thank you very much for your great work Michael!

Perhaps this has been ask before and someone can point me to the right
thread...

We have a spotify family account and two users. I have added both user
accounts to spotty in configuration settings without any trouble.
I can switch between these accounts under Main Menu --> Spotty -->
Account. When I use "user A", I can access the devices in the Spotify
Android App of "user A",
and "user B" does not see the device. This is ok, because it is in use
by "user A". If I select "user B" within LMS menu, the device shows up
in her Spotify Android App
of "user B". But it is marked as "unusable"!

What is missing in my setup for multiple family account users being able
to use LMS managed devices from within Spotify Android App?

As for my experience you need to restart your server after upgrade.

spotty.exe has not changed in a while. Maybe some antivirus signature is

https://pastebin.com/g0MMubcH <- another duplicate song event I think,
which made it so I couldn't get spotify to reconnect to spotty until I

Do you often get disconnects? The 404 might be a consequence of the
disconnect, rather than the opposite. What would be your settings in the
"danger zone" of the Spotty preferences?

Crap. Then the 2.6.1 "fix" didn't help at all. Unfortunately I cannot
reproduce this issue, therefore I have to just try to figure out what's
wrong and work around it. I'll see whether I can get another build out
today. It probably will just add more diagnostic logging to help me
understand the issue.

This isn't a solution of the problem, but if Spotty get not only one
song from Spotify's playlis, but the whole playlist... In this case
there would be a possibility to listen music from Spotify Connect at
least.

Unfortunately that's not how Spotify Connect works. There not always is
context of what you're playing. You can always use the SB interface to
play Spotify content when Connect fails.

Something I forgot to mention that might help, I'm in Germany and my
account is a UK Account. I'm stretching the "for as long as you want"
definition of Spotify because they don't say what "Permanently" means,
but anyway, perhaps we could sort out a VPN for you, make the traffic
come from outside the UK, see if you can then reproduce locally, which
would help you diagnose faster.

Hey

Everything works great with the new version of Spotty on the device
except for the lack of control from the Spotify application on Mac. It
is possible to choose the device to be used for playback. When I do it
nothing happens on the Logitech device, no sound is produced although
Spotify displays as if the music is being played. On the other hand from
the Logitech device I can see all the Spotify content and start and stop
playing the music directly from the device. Moreover, "the remote" which
is activated from the Squeezebox application as Safari window is also
able to control the device. Is there anything I can do regain controls
directly from Spotify - it used to work on older versions of Spotty
however it was moody and patchy one time working the other not.
Thank you for keeping our Logitechs alive. Great work.

Can you enable INFO logging for plugin.spotty, then try again. Once it
has failed, provide the server.log file (together with information about
your server, LMS version etc.).

I was helping someone set up their Raspberry Pi the last few days and
noticed that Spotify had recently changed their user name to a cryptic
code like '6tvg46bbjjagltzdb4fjxp6xn' for a user name.... I had this Rpi
set up any working but between the trial and the Premium Version period
some changes at Spotify seemed to 'disconnect' the player from Spotify..
We started over with a new account, but I failed to get the Rpi and
Spotify connected. I am going to take the Rpi Player to my home later
this work and try to get Spotify working again... This is the first time
I have failed to connect a Spotify Account with a LMS Raspberry Pi
Player.

My System is at home is working, but I have had Spotify for a couple
years.... So, I am guessing some Changes at Spotify have disrupted
things for new accounts?????

I see spotty went to version 2.6.2, my LMS was at 7.9.1 (running on
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, x86)

Since then, using spotify connect, I get repeating tracks when pressing
next on Spotify Android (controlling connect) while android is showing
the next track

Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't.

Also, jumping to a specific time in a track doesn't work either.

Installed 7.9.2, same issue.

Thanks for any feedback.

is playing but the previous track is actually repeating. This issue only
arises when the next track icon is used, the playlist plays normally
when left alone.
Also the searching within a track always plays from the beginning of the
track even though the time changes in the app.

It might depend on how far in to a track you do this. Does it work if
you wait a few seconds?

Scanning definitely should work with 7.9.2

Searching in track is definitely not working for me using 7.9.2. Would
you like to see any particular logs? Debug or Info?

Yes, please set logging for plugin.spotty to INFO, reproduce, then
upload server.log.zip to
https://www.dropbox.com/request/T3RctyzGgNg0oFDubq6a

Some more information about your installation (what platform/OS etc.)
would be good, too.

I uploaded two logs. Serverlog1, I advanced to the next song 60s into
the playing song and was successful. I tried to advance to the next
track 30s into the playing song and the playing song restarted. I let
the song finish and at the end of the track the Spotify app and LMS both
started playing the correct track according to the Spotify app queue.
Serverlog2 was seeking in a track, the log doesn't show much and the
track time did not move to the correct position but goes back to the
start.
Latest LMS running on Max2Play

Seeking was done from the Spotify app, right?

I fear there are too many users having similar issues that this isn't
the limitation. Though for most it seems to be intermittent.
