[RELEASE] Spotimc: Another Spotify music addon
(2012-04-03, 21:44)Hitcher Wrote: My main concern comes from the fact that I was about to push some changes and only noticed when comparing the diffs.

I thought that was the whole point of addons having a skin folder in the addon?

By the way, yours is labelled DefaultSkin when it should be simply Default I believe.
Sorry if any changes made by the addon went through. It probably crashed and the cleanup task did not have a chance to run.

Second, I have a minor issue. I have loads of playlist, mainly albums. I have placed these in playlist folders, a function Spotify provides to make your playlists easily categorized and browsable. Is it possible to integrate this function into the plugin? It would certainly increase the user-friendliness! :-)
Yes, playlist folder support is planned. I know that is hard when you have 100+ playlists Tongue

Thanks!
Hopefully I'll release the next alpha in a week, so be patient!

Great job by the way. I love the addon!
Thanks for the report! Spotimc will try ports 8080-8089 on startup, switching them if they are in use. I'll try to reproduce the problem with CouchPotato enabled.

Actually it turns out it might have been a combination of things then. Because after I closed CouchPotato I got the same problem again the next time I started up Spotimc. And then I switched the XBMC http server to 8070 and Spotimc started working again.
But since I've had CouchPotato, SickBeard, SABnzbd+ and XBMC running on port 8080-8083 that would explain a lot.
Well it's up and running again and thanks for the info.

Hi

Tried this because I want to get rid of the hassle of compiling spotyxbmc2.

The plugin starts, I enter my login details and I get to the home screen. From there, nothing works though. Nothing in news, in playlists, it just lists the number of playlists that I have (51) but I can't see them & search doesn't give any results.

System info:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04

XBMC 11.0~git20120321.14feb09-0ubuntu1~ppa1~oneiric

script.audio.spotimc-0.1-alpha4.zip

"Script failed" and then the spinning thing.

Reinstalled twice but no change.

Did you get if from the binary packages of the lower part of the download screen? The upper left links generate only a dump of the latest version in the repository, no binary dependencies included. Try uninstalling it first, and then get it from mortstar's repo.

Mmm, would love to see a debug log. Hopefully it's a bug described earlier on this thread and a fix is on the works.

I give up, i have looked and look and cant find anything that helps me to get it to work.
i have downloaded the "Repositories Installer Addon" and installed "mortstar's repo" from there didnt work, i have only downloaded "mortar's repo" didnt work.
i have downloaded both "script.audio.spotimc-0.1-alpha3.zip" and "script.audio.spotimc-0.1-alpha4.zip" didnt work.
in every downloaded installation i get "Script failed:  script.audio.spotify."

i have looked up and down and cant find "Did you get if from the binary packages of the lower part of the download screen?" that anywhere.
if u tell me how to send a debug log i will do it but only on 1 installation. cause i have been trying all possible combintation for 2h now. so i wont do it again :/.

P.S.

Which skin are you using? Spotimc has some similar issues with Transparency on Linux, but they will be fixed with the new alpha I'm about to release. Anyway, please let me see a log file, just to be sure.

Just run the addon and let it crash, and then you can send me the log file. This page explains where to find XBMC's log files: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log_file#Location

It does. Give it a try!

Thanks for the addon,

works like a charm, and much better then compiling a whole XBMC like spotyxbmc2

I was also tired of compiling spotyxbmc2 with mixed experiences, so was very happy when I discovered this add-on Big Grin

So far I have two things I like to fix (or maybe just me that don't know)

1. If I go out of Spotimc and eg. play som video I can't start Spotimc again. When I try to start the add-on I get the turning wheel and then script failed script.audio.spotimc. Have to restart XBMC to get it working again

2. Using crossfade (8 sec) with good luck for my FLAC music files, but in Spotimc I get stutter in the last few sec when the next song start playing. If i change in the midle of a song the crossfade work as expected (fade down -> playing both -> fade up new song).


Linux 3.0.0-17-generic

thanks a lot, it's very promising.
Compared to akezeke solution, it's less integrated and still lack some features but it has the big advantage of being a stand alone plugin.
Features request (sorry :p):

- add an "api" like the youtube plugin has (you can play a youtube video using the JSON api "VideoPlaylist.Add", { file: "plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=...@" }). When done, we will be able to integrate the plugin in xbmc web interfaces or imagine a lot of fancy stuff like greasemonkey scripts.

- build an /artist/albums/tracks tree from stars item. I love this feature from spotyXBMC Wink

I just installed the plugin on an XBMCbuntu Eden install. It works great.

However, if I use it in conjunction with XBMC Commander (iOS remote control app), tracks only play for about 7-10 seconds before going to the next track.

Is anyone else having this issue or a similar issue?

Thanks.

I have had problem with Spotify it self jumping to next track if it was some problem with streaming the track.
Had similar problem when using fast forward to much and when pressing play again sound strart to stutter and sometimes give up and jump to next track

(On a side track, when using fast forward playback time get lost sometimes and at the end of track playtime is higher than track time.)

Check your log to see if you have buffer underrun or CPU use issues
