Kodi Community Forum

I installed version x.x.13 this morning (Windows Kodi) - it made me go to a web browser and validate the plugin -- which worked - but the plugin only showed my music and wouldn't actually play anything. I read the forum, saw it was broken and waited to update to 15, still no joy.

I un-linked the plugin from Spotify even -- and tried to uninstall/ re-install 15 (but it for some reason didn't ask me to "link" again, and still has all my login info - so it didn't completely uninstall.

How do I completely uninstall this (including any necessary scripts), so I can re-install from 1.15 and get this working?

THANK YOU!!!!!

Hey just checking in to say I also have the issue where I can now log in but songs just hang and refuse to play. Eventually it says 'One or more items failed to play' and to check the logs for more info but I'm afraid I'm dumb and don't know how to do that.

(Anyway this looks like a sweet add-on; once I can get it working it will make my RaspPi a low-power-consumption music center! Thank you for your great work!!)

Not very difficult to make logs, without them problems will not get solved.

Ah thanks!

UPDATE: I am a moron. I just needed to reboot the RaspPi and songs play now.

Is there any way to make sure it's using Spotify's high-quality streaming? I know that isn't the default. Many thanks again!

version 1.1.15 plays music fine, but there seems to be a issue with the seek bar

If I enable lyrics when i'm say 30sec into the song, the lyrics start playing from 0sec, so its out of sync.

Also I noticed when I use yatse on android the seek bar doesn't update

If I play a local song on my hdd everything works fine, so its a issue with the addon.

I use the same version but no such issue i encountered yet.

Could very well be something I'm not doing because of my ignorance, but so far I'm not having any luck under the new system that doesn't push the initial browser authentication.

Did you restart Kodi after trying ?
Please also provide your kodi logfile to me after you tried the playback.

That IS the default... It's hardcoded to 320 kbit.

Yes, seeking needs some more work. Will hopefully be fixed within a few days.

Whatever I do, I get 1.1.13 from your beta repo. I cannot to get 1.1.15. What do I miss? I feel stupid. Thanks!
[edit] Please ignore, I got it now. Sorry

Hello I write from Italy so sorry for my English.
Since the 1.0.13 update I started having problems. I installed now the latest 1.0.15 version on my raspberry pi3.
I enter username and password and I'm able to read the songs playlists, search and so on, but when I try to play any song it freezes and after 20 seconds a message says to me it's impossible to play the music. I tried to reinstall the plugin, to remove and authorize again the plugin in my account, restarting raspberry, but still have same issue.
Any idea?

Here the screen of last page of log...

Thanks Marcel for all the overtime over the weekend! I have come across an unusual problem that occurs on all three of my platforms using the latest 1.1.15 build. While playing a album, playlist or radio, I get a slight pause exactly 3 seconds prior to the end of the song. The pause can last up to 2-4 seconds, and then it awkwardly counts off the remaining 3 seconds, and moves on to the next song. For most songs, the last 3 seconds are silent, and you never hear the problem, but for albums like Pink Floyd The Wall, it is very noticeable. You can also watch the track time, and see the stoppage. I did a fresh install of Kodi 17.3 on a Windows 10 machine, with only Spotify loaded. The following log was produced. The freeze starts at 9:18 in the log. Version 1.0.25 does not exhibit the problem. Thanks again, and hello from the Dutch in Holland Michigan!

Spotify Connect doesn't work for me with 1.1.15, the service is immediately killed after starting:


Kodi 17.3
Running on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, kernel: Linux x86 32-bit version 3.13.0-119-generic

full log

(I censored the username. Playback from the Kodi UI works fine, tried a couple of songs)

It worked with a previous version (Spotify Connect showed up in the Spotify app on Android), although I don't remember which one it was (maybe 1.1.12?)

I disabled Spotify Connect in the Kodi Spotify Plugin Settings dialog, pressed OK, enabled it again and pressed OK, didn't change anything, also nothing in the log about it.

EDIT:
running the binary directly works (=shows up in android app). when playing music, garbage is printed to stdout (as expected, I guess)

Any idea?

1) What platform/machine/OS are you running ?
2) Did you do a complete restart after installing the latest version ?
