Besides this error there's another issue which is when loading the library it's a bit slow at first.

Wow, it worked after I have reboot my system! Only issue left is the slow start when loading album/artist library and opening albums. I think it's a bit related to the fact that I don't have a very high speed connection.
Another thing I'd like to suggest is to remember presentation mode, I'd like to stick with icon display but it keeps changing back from icons to the list default.
Many thanks!

I'd also like to request for not displaying a pop up when getting the next music.
Where's the GitHub repository? I'd like to put any such feature requests and issues there. My only 3 issues are these, the plugin is slow on library loading, it doesn't remember presentation style and it displays popups on switching to next music which isn't presentation pretty.
Besides that, I'm really enjoying. I'm running it on a Cubox-I.

Great if the bugs can be worked out.
I am using Mac OSX 10.11.6
Kodi 16.1
Getting error "Login error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf3 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
I had gotten to the point it opened Chrome and asked me to log in, and click the link to allow the API to the Kodi addon. It then crashes Kodi.
Hope this helps.

well my bad, my RPI3 box had badly configured primary DNS and it seems the plugin didn't try to use the secondary one.

ok...
There is a major problem and i'm not sure if it's the Spotify Addon or Kodi itself.
If I do a fresh install of Kodi, using latest nightlies and then install Spotify and play music everything works fine... Then if I install a skin, example: Eminence 2.0
Then try to load Spotify and play a song Kodi will hang and the Spotify addon will no longer play songs, not even if I switch back to Estuary.
The only way to get Spotify to work again is to completely delete the Addons26.db file and re-enable the Spotify addon. But as soon as I enable any other addon, Spotify will break again.
This is happening on Windows nightlies and also Libreelec on the RPi ....
Hope this can be fixed, it seems to have broken since the last Spotify Addon update from Marcelveldt.
I haven't been able to use this addon for weeks since it was last updated.
playing music using the option "play using... VideoPlayer" works, but it's incredibly slow to load.
It seems something is breaking playback using default PAPlayer

*** WORKING Spotify AddOn in RPI3 via Openelec!!! ***
Fool me, I was using *Windows* Spotify client as source.. To clarify for newbies like me, the method would be:
1) Install the Spotify add on in Openelec in the RPI3
2) Configure it, run it. Error. Quit.
3) In a Windows machine (my case) install Kodi.
4) In that installation, install the Spotify add on. Configure it. Run it.
5) You'll get a browser prompt, login and accept.
6) Now, in Windows, from C:\Users\[Windowslogin]\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.audio.spotify copy your [spotifynick].cache file.
7) Put that file in the RPI3´s ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.audio.spotify
8) Reboot the RPI3
9) Restart Spotify in the RPI3's Openelec installation. Should work!!
THANKS ALL specially to the developer of course.
