RE: Spotify for Kodi - DarkHelmet - 2016-03-28

Thanks for the addon. Can I add music from this addon to the kodi music library?

No, not yet


RE: Spotify for Kodi - PimPandoer72 - 2016-03-28

Thanks for your geat addon!

I just gave it a testrun on kodi 16.0 on a windows 10 machine and it work as described.
however, on my Xtreamer Android player with also kodi 16.0 it did not work.
after installing it, it showed the browser and I did enter my credentials.
After that I got an empty dialog with only: login error.
I am not sure how to get the logfile. will look into that tonight.


RE: Spotify for Kodi - DarkHelmet - 2016-03-28

Thanks for the answer. This seems to be common for music addons accessing online sources. Neither spotify, nor google music, nor amazon prime music addons can do that. Since I believe all developers are very skilled I wonder what needs to be done in kodi to achieve that. I have an amazon instant video addon, that lets me add movies and tv shows to my library as if they were local content.

I basically have three music libraries on kodi now. Local, amazon prime music and google play music. It would be so cool if these could be unified in one library.

What is so fundamentally different with the music library?

It's on my TODO list to add. In that case some dummy strm files will be added to the Kodi music library containing a playback link to the actual spotify plugin so playback will at all times be performed by spotify.

The Kodi music/video library only scans local files (on disk) to the database. It doesn't understand online sources unless you work with the strm files.

I am still working on the Android compatability.
I have tested it on some old ARM-based android 4.4 box and that was working well but as it seems it requires more work on other boxes.


RE: Spotify for Kodi - werewolf80 - 2016-03-28

Great addon! Works fine here (windows, jarvis).

If there is a thing i would like, it would be showing all album posters without 'changing page'.

Cheers



Added question

Perhaps not the right thread... When playing Spotify the volume is constantly changing at the beginning of a new track. Starting high, then lowered. Have tried several Kodi settings, but nothing solved it (yet).

Sounds fimiliar?


RE: Spotify for Kodi - VMCosco - 2016-03-28

Does anyone know if having Firefox sideloaded on a FireTV will satisfy the "browser needed for authentication"?


RE: Spotify for Kodi - Fire69 - 2016-03-28

Just tried the add-on on my W10, working great!
But I'd rather use it on my rpi2..
So I copied the entire folder (plugin.audio.spotify) from my laptop to the rpi, but when I launch the addon, it still tried to launch a browser to authenticate.
I rebooted the rpi, and that solved the browser problem, but now I just get a popup with
Code:
Login error:

Any suggestions? Smile

yes, any browser on android will suffice

Thanks for this great add-on. It works like a charm on LibreELEC, and since everybody keeps asking for screenshots, here is a few.

But I'd rather use it on my rpi2..
So I copied the entire folder (plugin.audio.spotify) from my laptop to the rpi, but when I launch the addon, it still tried to launch a browser to authenticate.
I rebooted the rpi, and that solved the browser problem, but now I just get a popup with
Code:
Login error:

Any suggestions? Smile

Please share your Kodi logfile after trying to launch the addon. Something is wrong with the platform detection

New version 1.0.7 is uploading to the repo. Can you give that version a shot ?
