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?
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!
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:
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?
