I run XBMC Gotham on the Boxee Box.
Boxee Box runs Linux, but due to some strange reason Python's platform detection routines won't identify it as such. The issue is on the underlying pyspotify-ctypes lib which fails to initialize due to this issue.
In order to fix this and make both Spotlight and Spotimc work on the Boxee Box, more environment information is needed about this platform. The following addon will print to the log file all the required (non sensitive) information to make the appropiate fixes:

The error message I get when trying Search, Starred, and Playlists is:
"Errno 7 - no address associated with hostname."

You are right, there's no browse nor discover support in libspotify. Apart from that, the special search keywords are pretty basic:
https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-mor...ed-search1
They seem to be backed by a third party service called the EchoNest, which also seems to power the radio feature.

Could you please include logs from spotlight as well? The logs from platform check indicates that spotlight itself should detect the platform correctly. This might be something with pyspotify-ctypes or something different...

Do you mean the xbmc.log file or is there a specific one for spotlight?
This is the log file for after I try to run Spotlight. I tried the Playlist option, then exited and copied the log file.
edit: don't inline huge logs on the forums please. Use pastebin or similar

I mean the the whole xbmc.log. In fact, the most interesting stuff is happening on XBMC startup. There must be some kind of exception fired...
This is great!
Works fine for now. Is a bit slow.
What I'm currently missing is a sort function and when playlists are in a folder Spotlight shows a blank line.

Thx. Playlist folders are not supported yet but this support will be added.
2 Questions
- Why isnt it possible to use with a free spotify account? Since we can use it for free
- Does this mean, when i got to main menu xbmc, then chose music, then artist, i see al list of artist (with thumbs) ?
The same for albums (i see a list with coverart)
If so how is it populated? (only with starred albums/tracks or smth else?

Thanks!
Mikel fixed this in dependent library (pyspotify-ctypes) so we'll test in the upcoming release.

Shank,
1. libspotify library (that comes from Spotify) is used under the hood. This library only works with Premium accounts. I guess Spotify uses this limitation to avoid playback on mobile or other than desktop devices without Premium. Otherwise, alternative apps would emerge that could be run on mobile with Free accounts.
2. I'm not sure if I understand this question. To access plugin you need to go to Music -> Music Add-ons -> Spotlight. Going to Music -> Albums / Artists means navigating through built-in menu and it will browse your defined music sources. Coverarts and thumbnails are downloaded using a configured scrapper. With Spotlight it is a little bit different because Coverarts and thumbnails come from the Spotify service.
Regards,
Darek
great add-on works fine with Gotham beta1
