Hi
I’m new to this so please forgive me for a stupid question. When I try to initialize spotify connect I get the following error message. Any ideas how to solve it?System: Raspberry pi3
SD: 32GB
Network: Wired/M
Spotify Connect Setup
Trying to launch … NOT successful Click here to show detailed information
/opt/spotifyconnect/librespot: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17′ not found (required by /opt/spotifyconnect/librespot)
/opt/spotifyconnect/librespot: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18′ not found (required by /opt/spotifyconnect/librespot)14. Februar 2018 at 18:00 #34009Hi Martin,
I checked and with a default image you should be able to launch the player right away after installation.
Possible issues might be:
– YourOutput Device
. It should have the name of your sound card in the title and start with default or sysdefault.
– Your other Audio Players. Make sure they are not running with the same output device.14. Februar 2018 at 18:11 #34010Thanks for the reply.
I’m using Hifiberry Amp2. In the output section of Spotify connect is stated „hw:sndrpihifiberry – sndrpihifiberry, hw:sndrpihifiberry“
As an alternative I can choose „hw: ALSA-ALSA, hw:ALSA“
But how to I choose Hifiberry Amp 2 as output in the Spotify Connect setion?
Everywhere else in M2P Hifiberry Amp2 is the defined soundcard.
No other audioplayers are running.
Help is very much appreciated.14. Februar 2018 at 18:19 #34011The hifiberry output should work. Squeezelite and Shairport are both not running and have autostart removed? Please reboot to be sure.
Please also make sure your login is Spotify Premium. Please also share the debug info on the Spotify Connect page when are start fails.
14. Februar 2018 at 18:28 #34012Hi again,
Appreciate your help.
I have done and checked Everything suggested by you but unfortunately still does not work. Below is the debug info:#### Librespot Output ####

Thanks.PLease forgive a newbie for asking stupid questions…..
I made a reinstall of Max2play and after updates etc I managed to get spotify connect running and I can identify it in my iphone. However, next problem….No sound.
When I check the output device in Spotify Connect tab there is only one choice available „hw:alsa – alsa, hw:alsa“, although I identified Hifiberry Amp2 as my soundcard on the hifiberry tab in max2play and on the Raspberry settings tab.
Any suggestions at all are very much appreciated.
18. Februar 2018 at 9:35 #34040Hi again,
I managed to solve the previous issue but the problems continues….spotify won’t start…again.

Sorry about the late response. I was on holiday for the last week and am still catching up.
The error says that your login name is missing. I set up a tester and got the plugin running successfully with our premium account.
Please make sure you still have Spotify Premium and that your output device is still correct and that your other players are not running or are already configured for automatic switch.
1. März 2018 at 5:51 #34153I’m having problems maintaining a connection to spotify connect. My android phone connects to max2play for a few seconds but max2play disappears from the device list as soon as I select it. I have Spotify Premium, and an active max2play license. It worked perfectly for several weeks and stopped working last weekend. It’s on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Allo digione player. I have disconnected the other music players, have installed the beta version of Spotify Connect, updated the max2play to v.2.25, tried with the Beta version, but nothing works.
The Spotify Connect page shows this error:

1. März 2018 at 13:50 #34160Hi there,
This error message seems to be related to this issue shared on github.
To make sure it is not a general issue, please try running Spotify via the Spotty plugin on LMS. (How-To)
2. März 2018 at 19:56 #34183I have been trying to install Spotty but the instructions are missing details that are essential for noobies. For example, the ‚How-To‘ link didn’t say which version of deb should be downloaded (I guess it’s arm).
How can I attach the Squeezebox player? It isn’t showing any player even though I entered authentication for spotify at http://192.168.2.28:9000/settings/index.html?player=
The settings page says, „Cannot access Spotify services without a player connected.“
I have disabled all active plugins except for spotty as instructed. Were the player settings on the active plugins page? Is there another set of instructions that I’m missing?
Sorry for these basic questions. I had not realized how complex max2play was.- This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by [email protected].

5. März 2018 at 11:49 #34207Hi,
Sorry about the confusion.
– The versions are only 7.9 and 7.9 nightly when you select them. You do not need to manually enter a URL, it’s inserted when you select.
– The player is „Squeezelite“ in the Audioplayer menu. If it’s running it shows up on the LMS in the top right corner under the name of your Max2Play device.
– The activation does not require entering any credentials. Just use the Spotify app on your phone or tablet, select the player with the name of your Max2Play device and the LMS has authenticated your premium account and can now run Spotify on all players.
– You just need to deactivate the other Spotify plugins.5. März 2018 at 18:05 #34229Hi,
We now updated the build of librespot for our Spotify Connect to account for some new changes.
Just click „reinstall“ and it should work again.
5. März 2018 at 18:46 #34230Thanks, I installed Spotty successfully on LMS (using your instructions). I have installed the new Spotify Connect and it has not resolved the problem, so I’m going back to Spotty until the next Spotify Connect update.
6. März 2018 at 16:24 #34240Hi,
Thanks for sharing. Could you also share the error message you got, after reinstalling with the button in Spotify Connect menu, reentering credentials and making sure Squeezelite is not occupying the same output option?
6. März 2018 at 16:48 #34241The error message yesterday referred to the wrong sound card (I have Allo Digital and the error message referred to ALSA) but I didn’t save the message. I will in the future.
Just now I deactivated the Squeezebox and Audioplayer plugins and moved back the Spotify Connect, and the process is running (no error messages) but there is no sound from our system. This time the Android phone shows that music is playing on the max2play device, so the device itself is remaining stable (not disappearing after a second like it did previously), but no sound. A reboot and a reinstallation of Spotify Connect (and then another Reboot) did not resolve the issue.Active plugins are just ALLO, Settings/Reboot, WiFi/LAN, Raspberry Settings and Spotify Connect, in that order. I’m running version 2.45 Rasberry Pi 3 and the output device is allo digione.
Yesterday when I was running Squeezebox, Squeezelite and Spotty, the music kept stopping every few minutes and then starting again. The max2play device stayed on the phone, but the music dropped out repeatedly.
Thanks for following up on this issue. We only listen to Spotify on Max2Play, and I’m spending hours trying to troubleshoot.
7. März 2018 at 11:49 #34257Sorry about the inconvenience. The Spotify Connect Player should be fixed, now.
Please try selecting „none“ in the Allo Plugin, rebooting, selecting the DigiOne again, rebooting and selecting the correct output device in Spotify Connect again.
Also, please make sure the autostart checkbox is deactivated in Squeezelite and Shairport to rule these out as sources of error.
8. März 2018 at 3:23 #34268I’ve followed your directions (several times) and there was still no sound coming out when I select the max2play device. Music plays on my other devices (phones, Google Home). I deactivated the Spotify Connect plugin, reinstalled Squeezebox and Audioplayer, and the music played for a minute or so and then dropped out. I could restart the music from the phone and it seems to be okay right now. No Spotify Connect though.
Thanks for your persistence.9. März 2018 at 16:47 #34300Very odd, has the playback behaviour changed since then or do you still need to restart in order to get sound? We have not had this error before.
Did you activate Spotify Connect in the spotty plugin?
10. März 2018 at 15:53 #34308Hello Heiner,
I have also problems with the Spotyfy-Connect-Plugin too.
When I try to start the service in the Spotify-Conncet-Setup I get the following message:Versucht zu starten … NICHT Erfolgreich Hier klicken für weitere Informationen

11. März 2018 at 17:05 #34315Hi, Heiner, I’ve been out of town and not listening to music; I’ll update you when I’m back.
13. März 2018 at 9:52 #34371Hello Heiner,
I have checked the entries in my „Spotify Plugin“. But there are no commands in the command line options. This field is only blank.
I have just only in the advanced options of the squeezelite filled out the „kommandozeilen optionen“ with the entry „-C 10“ and activated the checkbox „nutze usb-soundkarte“.Stefan
13. März 2018 at 15:45 #34397Hi Stefan,
Firstly, please try running the Spotify Connect without any other players running. (You have to add the IP address of the device with LMS installed in order to run both Squeezelite and Spotify Connect at the same time)
If this does not change your situation, please try reinstalling Spotify Connect to rule out an issue with the install. We have not encountered this error message yet and according to my search, it also has not been reported on the librespot github as well.
14. März 2018 at 9:38 #34413Hi Heiner,
I have updated the plugins in the webinterface „Einstellungen / Reboot“ und then the spotifyplugin reinstalled. Now I get another error, when I try to connect with SpotifyConnect:
#### Librespot Output #### INFO:librespot: librespot cc9dba8 (2017-03-26). Built on 2017-07-17.

Then the SpotifyConnect service is stopping.
I have add the IP adress of the device in the option of the plugin.
Because of these errors I have updated my system withe the commands „apt-get update“ and „apt-get upgrade“ to the newest version of „jessie“. But without success…

15. März 2018 at 13:53 #34448Hi Stefan,
There seems to be a general issue with the current install of the Spotify Connect player. We are investigate this at the moment.
For now, you can use the Spotty plugin of our Squeezebox Server. Here’s our tutorial on setting it up.
15. März 2018 at 16:31 #34456We found the fix, you can make a beta update and reinstall in the Spotify Connect Player to get it working again.
For new installations of Max2Play, the fix will be added automatically.
18. März 2018 at 8:01 #34506Thanks Heiner, Just wanted to say thanks as whatever you did made it work for me in the update2beta + reinstall spotify connect.
19. März 2018 at 13:55 #34532Hi Heiner,
thank you for your fast reply!
I have updated my raspberry pi3 to the latest beta (version 180315) und tried to reinstall the spotify connect plugin. the reinstallation was successful but when I try to start the service I get the following message:#### Librespot Output #### error: Unrecognized option: 'onstart' Usage: /opt/spotifyconnect/librespot [options] Options: -c, --cache CACHE Path to a directory where files will be cached. --disable-audio-cache Disable caching of the audio data. -n, --name NAME Device name --device-type DEVICE_TYPE Displayed device type -b, --bitrate BITRATE Bitrate (96, 160 or 320).

Before the reinstallation I have delete the spotifyconnect-folders in /opt/ and var/www/max2play/applications/plugins and hte librespot.zip-file in /opt/max2play/cache. But the problem ist the same before.
Do you have any tips for me?
