I just installed a fresh copy of Max2Play to test and……It works like a charm!!!
GREAT WORK!!!

Watch out though, cause when starting first time it can be very loud (so turn down your speakers at first 😉
I use it with my digiberry DAC+ on my RPI2
Now if it can be managed from my Raspberry Touchscreen it would be like a dream come through (for real) and combined with multiroom…well, it would bring Max2Play back on number1 for me personally..

Anyway i can help implement this so we can use it with touchscreens? LMS is out of the windows for me then, especially if there is another way to use webradio. I would love that combo and won’t be needing more that way…

Hi guys
Been looking at this today and my sound card for squeezelite via a hifiberry is equaliser for plugin 1,0,
But the output option in the spotify connect plug in is equal equal or plugin 0,0,

How do I get an option that matches on both?

Cheers

Hi

Plugin auf die aktuele Stable installiert, Spotify Username und Kennwort eingetragen, auf Server starten gedrückt

„error: option ’name‘ is missing“

Einen Namen eingetragen

„error: Option ’name‘ given more than once.
Usage: /opt/spotifyconnect/librespot [options]“

auf die neuste Beta geupdatet, dasselbe Probem

SpotifyConnect per FTP komplett entfernt (aus /opt und /opt/max2play) und die entsprechenden Einträge aus der Playerconfig entfernt und nochmal alles von vorne. Hat aber auch nix geholfen

Hi guys,

I’m happy you are actively testing already. And, of course, that some of you already got it running.

To the ones with issues: Please post your debug log from the bottom of the web interface menu and detail our errors.

@Atinkler: Please check for your options in Squeezelite, they should be the same as in SpotifyConnect and you should be able to select the same output.

@std: Please try a new image and start from the newest beta. You also require an active premium account which is the „name“ you need to enter.

@Heiner:
Will you support mherger to get spotify connect running thru LMS (i.e. implementing spotify connect as a plugin in LMS)?
That would be really great!

Regards

Hello Heiner.

Unfortunately they are not the same.

Squeezelite has 0,1, and the connect client only offers 0,0

Atinkler premium

22. Mai 2017 at 22:42 #29014

To confirm the top options in Spotify connect are
Equal- Equal
Plugequal – equalizer for pluginhw:0,0,

And in squeezelite

Equal- Equal
Plugequal – equalizer for pluginhw:1,0,

@Rheinlaender: It’s already happened 🙂

We successfully tested MHerger’s new authentication for the LMS Spotify plugin and it works like a charm.

Here is our topic on it.
And here’s my post on the slimdevices board.

@Atinkler: Please try re-selecting your sound card (first select none, then reboot, then re-select) and rebooting.

Atinkler premium

23. Mai 2017 at 11:28 #29026

Ok. And by none so you mean equal equal or can I turn the whole selection off? Not near there device so be good to know for when I have access

Cheers

In the Raspberry Settings sound card selection, select „none“, reboot, select your card, reboot, check the sound card options again.

OK i have it working which is great but the volume level is VERY VERY loud vs the output of the Hifiberry amp. Any way to set the output lower to match the Squeezelite output?

Atinkler premium

23. Mai 2017 at 22:07 #29042

And how rude of me… Thanks for the work here guys. Great to see a connect integration

Heiner premium

24. Mai 2017 at 11:28 #29045

No problem, great to hear that it works well. We will look into the volume issue.

Edit: We looked into it, and currently, the plugin does not support any hardware volume control: https://github.com/plietar/librespot/issues/140

For now, you can adjust the slider of your sound card volume accordingly, before launching Spotify Connect 😉

I got some strange behavior in the Spotify Plugin.
For whatever reason the plugin pre-fills the command line options with the following

–device plug:equal -C 1067oGOxNUq

Interestingly the string 67oGOxNUq belongs to my Spotify password (changed meanwhile).
When I delete the options and save the settings it gets re-filled again.

Re-installing the plugin and removing associated folders via ssh does not help either.

Great work! It works very well!

Hi guys,
great to hear the positive feedback! We are currently working on an official plugin page and more documentation.

@modtastic:
Please try a fresh image and see whether you can reproduce this error. Also, please share the debug info of the plugin. But make sure no login credentials are included in the log 😉

First off, let me say I am very happy with Max2play. Coming from Volumio, I love both the versatility and stability. I gladly purchased a license!
Since a couple of days, the (beta) plugin for Spotify Connect gives me an error message. I tried with three different Premium accounts within our Spotify Family subscription, all with the same result.
Screenshot of the error message:

It seems the issue is related to issue #185 of Librespot: https://github.com/plietar/librespot/issues/185

Is it possible to create a new (beta) version of the plugin using the latest Librespot sources?
And could I update Librespot myself? I can find a file „librespot“ in „/opt/spotifyconnect/“. Do I need to compile the Librespot sources, and update this file? Or would that break stuff?

Hello there,i have got the same problem SergeR has, the only diferrence is that mine worked until i updated the spotify app.Thank you for everything.

I played around a bit, and replacing the file „librespot“ in the folder „/opt/spotifyconnect/“ wity the latest version from https://github.com/herrernst/librespot/releases fixed the issue for me!

Tried SergeR solution and it worked,thank you very much.

Same for me: after replacing librespot file i have no lonver isues with disconnections anymore! Getting better and better 😉

Spotify users with the Family plan at home will probably run into the same issue I have; only the user for whom you’ve entered the credentials in the configuration will be able to use Spotify Connect.
For example my wife cannot even see the option for Max2play in her Spotify apps (tested on Windows and iOS). I can connect without issue.

I’m able to somewhat reproduce the behaviour with Volumio; when entering my Spotify account’s credentials my wife cannot connect. When I leave the Spotify credentials empty, we can both connect.

Alas, in the (beta) version of the Spotify Connect plugin for Max2play the Spotify credentials are mandatory.
Perhaps the next version will enable to omit the credentials, so any user can connect?

Hi guys,

Thanks for the active discussion and feedback. We will look into the librespot update.

@SergeR: The login is necessary for the Connect player to run properly. If you want the more versatile option, try the new LMS plugin by Herger that seems to be working greatly: https://www.max2play.com/en/forums/topic/new-hope-for-spotify-lms-plugin

Looking a the debug the authentication with spotify worked…however librespot still gives me the error Required option ’name‘ missing

Hi modtastic,

Sorry about the inconvenience. We made a quick fix for some Spotify Connect issues. If you are having trouble logging in, please:
– Update your device in Settings/Reboot and reboot it
– Click „reinstall“ in the Spotify Connect plugin
– Log in again with your usual credentials

modtastic

8. Juni 2017 at 12:30 #29385

Thank you for the quick response, Heiner.

Unfortunately I still get the same librespot error…

ZeroZorro premium

Had the same issue, but deactivating after reboot, reinstalling and rebooting again did the trick for me. So Spotify Connect works again, but Spotify plugin does not at the moment cause i cant activate it anymore. Maybe it’s also blocked by Spotify like Librespot was?

8. Juni 2017 at 21:21 #29431

I have the same problem as Serge did in post above #29134

I am not able to update the file he said worked for him at the moment and the reinstall doesnt seem to fix it. Is a fixed for this issue planned?

Cheers

EDIT – re downloaded from the site and reinstalled – after a few attempts got it working again – thanks all
