Hi guys,

Hi flovato,

please try this:
- switch to spotify
- select and play a song
- go to MENU->MPD and select a different audio output
- change the output back to the old one.

Hi,

I also cannot get Spotify to work.
I just opened Spotify in the library where I chose "Spotify" form the list. I then get an endless spinning wheel saying something about "launching backend...." which never stops.
I went to settings and activate Spotify, added my username and password, but that didn't change anything.
I then noticed that my username was incorrectly spelled, so I want to change it. But now, whatever setting I try to change and hit "apply", the settings are not saved. Even after a reboot, any change in settings is disregarded and reverts back to old settings.

How can I solve this, please?

thanks

Hi Pietpara,

do you have a premium account?

On the playback screen click on Spotify and change the player back to MPD.
I tested Spotify on my Rasptouch and it works like it should.

Do you use the touch screen or are you connected with a remote browser?

Hi,
I wanted to add that it seems that I cannot change any setting anymore, neither in the settings menu nor in the MPD menu. Nor can I change volume, set to hardware. Rebooting doesn't help.

My debug log is here http://pastebin.com/QC33Sb3i

I hope someone can give me some hints.

Thank you in advance!

As reported in the Bug section I can't get Spotify to work either. I have a Premium account, can select a playlist from it which then shows in the queue but nothing will play.

Hi Frank,

As noted I can see the list of songs but nothing will play. I've tried switching back to MPD and then back to Spotify again but it makes no difference.

I'm using a new, unmodified, untweaked version of the the latest build.
