This looks great! But I'm also getting script errors when starting the plugin

Thanks!

When I try to play a song in XBMCbuntu with this plugin, I got tons of these errors in the log-file:

I have tried it with the skins Aeon Nox and Confluence.
As we can see from the log here, it tries to request a localhost-URL.
Only problem is that I'm not running something on port 8081 @localhost.

I'm running XBMC through a proxy on my local net, if that could help you guys.

Someone know a quickfix for this?[/code]

I also get a script error when trying to start the addon on my ATV1. Isn't that just due to the known problem with OSX 10.4. At least my log file looks a lot like the posts on that issue.

You are my friking hero!

[rsuter]

Just tried your addon. I had no problems at all and it worked very good... (fast, reliable, etc... on Asus EEE PC with XBMC Live on Ubuntu). I like the simple style (like Metro or Modern UI). Maybe you should use a solid green (without gradient) header... And it would be cool to have the possibility to add an album as playlist. Very good addon, where to donate?

I have the latest nightly build on xbmc and then I installed this addon but nothing shows up in the addon no search, no nothing. I only see the logo and meny but nothing else.
I tried to reinstall The normal version of eden but still same error. DHO!

OS:win7

I would like to see the log file this issue produces. This is a similar issue reported previously, but I was unable to gather enough information to reproduce it.

Hi I'm the dev of Yatse (see sign), and effectively you correctly set the thumb information for the playlist but strangely the info is not set for currently playing item.

Here's the result send by Xbmc :

2012-09-02 11:39:08.423 Verbose/JsonRpc: e.b@242: Response : [{"id":2,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"audiostreams":[],"canseek":true,"currentaudiostream":{"bitrate":1411200,"channels":2,"codec":"WAV"},"currentsubtitle":null,"partymode":false,"percentage":22.610687255859375,"playlistid":0,"position":0,"repeat":"all","shuffled":false,"speed":1,"subtitleenabled":false,"subtitles":[],"time":{"hours":0,"milliseconds":240,"minutes":0,"seconds":59},"totaltime":{"hours":0,"milliseconds":0,"minutes":4,"seconds":22},"type":"audio"}},{"id":3,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"item":{"album":"Sympathy For The Download 00","albumartist":"","artist":"The Walkmen","fanart":"special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Music/Fanart/9b4468f2.tbn","file":"http://127.0.0.1:8080/track/3HFbtkED52w1dOqHgGXbgu.wav?idx=0|X-Spotify-Token=13e5626fdc2abc814a5b457cb7e2141f51969e45&User-Agent=Spotimc%2F1.0-beta1+%28XBMC%2F12.0-ALPHA3+Git%3A20120621-858a0a0%29","genre":"","label":"The Rat","rating":51,"thumbnail":"","title":"The Rat","track":3,"type":"song","year":0}}}]

As you can see thumbnail is empty.

Mmm, will have to look if it's related to local proxy server issues.

BTW, I'm totally unaware of how XBMC and remotes talk each other, so how do you get back the provided image? XBMC sends back a full path (presumably the full url of the image), or you get the cached image's id that can be fetched later by querying a specific json method?

Hello, new member here. I've used XBMC on my original Apple TV 160 GB for a couple of years now, but recently reformatted and started from scratch. I have installed many add-ons and am refreshing my memory on how all of this works.

My question: how do I get this to work on my ATV 1? I've read that it works on the first generation, but it won't connect for me. I'm at work right now so if I need to include more info on the error, I can do that later.

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as billchase2....

seems a great addon, but it just won't work for me, keep getting script errors....

Cheers,

M

This looks great! But I'm also getting script errors when starting the plugin

Thanks!

I also get a script error when trying to start the addon on my ATV1. Isn't that just due to the known problem with OSX 10.4. At least my log file looks a lot like the posts on that issue.

If you are using OSX 10.5 or below, try upgrading to at least 10.6.x. The underlying libspotify library seems to require 10.6+.

Can you pre start the proxy server to quicken up the upstart of the script/addon?

The proxy server startup is deferred to a background thread, so overall startup won't get a significant performance hit from that component. The most time consuming operation is the skin patching process, which requires a skin reload, and sadly can't be avoided currently.

Spotimc starts an embedded proxy service that acts as a bridge between libspotify and XBMC. This service will start listening on the first free port on the 8080-8089 range.

Check if you have some kind of firewall rule or system policy that prevents XBMC from connecting to the local service. If that's the case you probably won't be able to see any album covers, as they are also queried to this proxy service.

You are my friking hero!

Thanks for your support!

I'm deferring all feature additions and changes after 1.0 final. Also, I'll may setup a donation option after this release.

Oh, and as an anecdote, here's how Spotimc's header looked on pre-alpha days. It almost burnt my eyes:

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Plugin is working great here,much better then the Grooveshark plugin. Does anyone know if its possible to control the plugin with a remote app on my android? Would be perfect if i could search,select,start & stop songs from my android phone and play/queue them on my XBMC machine.

I didn't know this was possible on the ATV 1? I use ATV Flash on it. Is there an older version of the spotify library that might still work?

[wam247]

Hey guys - brand new XBMCer. Just set up Eden on Acer Revo running Windows 7. I just Installed Spotimc, works/looks great.

The only issue is that I have trouble navigating the playlist tab with my keyboard. As I scroll down through my playlists, it resets and sends me back to the top of the list. Not sure if this is due to a glitch in the plug-in or what...

Great work, let us know when a stable build is out!

thank you once again for looking into the remote image issue. i've posted your inquiry to Tolriq and if he has any information pertaining to the issue i'm sure he'll be as amazingly responsive as always. :]

definitely looking forward to sending you a few bottles/cases of your beverage of choice if you do decide to get the donation option set up! the least we could all do! ;D

and while i definitely prefer the current header, i kind of like that one! lol it is a tad bit harsh though! :p

The way to get images is different in Eden and Frodo.

In Eden the thumbnail should contain the local cache value like special://....... that remote then get from vfs who permit direct access to this.
In Frodo they now use a special image:// handler that will check the thumb database to send the corresponding cached image.

After watching the videos it seems that Spotimc was unable to write to the first skin (and therefore install include defs.), which is strange since there's a check to verify that the skin is writable. Which OS were you using? Spotimc had some issues on Win7, but they where fixed long ago.

Ubuntu 12.04.

Wondering the same thing...

Sorry for asking if it has been discuss earlier, but is it only for Premium members of spotify plugin works ?

Yes, this is only available to premium users. Buy a premium subscription, it's not that much money for that much free music.
