Hoping for some help with this plugin...

I have installed the plugin in Kodi on a raspberry pi 3 running rasbian. Initially, I was getting the issue where there was no token and a search for the error in the error log brought me to this thread.

I then fired up Ubuntu 14, installed Kodi, installed the Spotify addon. Ran it, the web browser popped up, authenticated the plugin and the Spotify plugin worked perfectly on Ubuntu machine. I copied the username.cache file to /home/pi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.audio.spotify directory from the Ubuntu machine.

Now when launching Spotify I get a "Login Error" message box which was/is different than the original message in Kodi which said an error occurred check the log files. Now it is more like a "natural"/expected type of error box.

However, in the kodi.log file, it is still just repeatedly outputting waiting for authentication token and never getting past that and finishing up with the same Oauth error.

I am running Kodi 17.1 with Raspbian Jessie and have tried the Spotify plugin 1.0.25 and the "beta" 1.0.26 with same results.

[dcapone2004]

Ok, I finally figured this out.

The problem is because I use Kodi profiles. When using profiles, the cache file needs to go into the .kodi/profiles/<profilename>/userdata/addon_data/plugin.audio.spotify folder. Depending on how many profiles you have, you may need to copy the file into multiple places.

I have a confusing crash issue when using this addon. I'm not entirely sure that the actual Spotify addon is the cause though. But I'm hoping someone have a clue.

At first it seems to play well for awhile, but at some point after a buch of songs have been playing a screen containg lyrics and a spectrum analyzer etc gets activated. It plays for awhile and then Kodi crashes. I'm not sure wich addons is involved, but I have CU Lyrics and the standard Spectrum visualization activated.

Also why and what actives this screen? I have no idea of how to bring it up manually.

Any help would be appreciated

I'm using an Android ARM tv-box with Jarvis.

I also wish for the "Shuffle" function in my Playlists. Is that possible?

[eddiewould]

@eddiewould -- I was wondering if there is any possibility of implementing the thumbs up/down feature that is used to improve the song radio? I'm really interested in doing some skin integration into the music osd that would add a button with a menu that could do: Thumb Up, Thumb Down, Save to Collection, Follow Artist, Show Artist Top Tracks, Show All Albums by Artist.

The way I'm invoking the Spotify recommendations API currently for this is very dumb and needs improvement badly. Basically:

The first time, we ask for (100 - the maximum) recommendations based on the track the user selects. We then play through those recommendations.

When we're getting low on recommendations, we take the first 5 of the remaining recommendations (which the user hasn't even listened to yet!) and ask for more recommendations based on those (Spotify allows a maximum of 5 seed tracks).

Obviously it's not ideal (it might well end up in a feedback cycle of sorts).

We could respond to a "thumbs down" button (or skipping the track before it finishes?) by ensuring the track isn't used for future recommendations.
We could respond to a "thumbs up" button (if we had one) by using the track preferentially when asking for recommendations the next time round.

Regardless, it probably needs to do something clever with respect to ageing when asking for the next lot of recommendations to avoid a feedback cycle.

Wasn't able to find this anywhere when looking for it, is there a shuffle function for playing albums or playlists?

Wasn't able to find this anywhere when looking for it, is there a shuffle function for playing albums or playlists?

Kodi has a built in shuffle function -- the spotify plugin adds songs to the Kodi now playing playlist just like any other media, so all the normal Kodi controls should work fine - shuffle, repeat etc.

Make sense. I had initially thought that maybe the Spotify API might expose the recommendations in the same way as song radio works in the app so it would simply be a matter of sending a thumbs up/down command through the API -- but I guess more work is done on the App side of things than I had thought. It's not that big a deal, was just thinking if it was something exposed in a simple way then it would be great to actually integrate it on the skin side of things -- I'm just glad song radio works now as this is one of my favourite spotify features.

Tried it today for the first time and does not want to work!

Made the authentification process that seems to work

Then I keep getting the same thing:

1-an error notification that tells me to check log, here is the error:

Kodi crashes at the OSD screen after a couple of minutes.

I'm running Jarvis on an Android TV-box.

[ticketwire]

I was able to successfully login and view my songs and playlists, but when I try to play a song it doesnt play and shows an error that says "One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message."

Does anyone know how to get the currently playing album as a fanart background for the home screen?

What do I need to change to get this working?

[Wild Penguin]

Perhaps a recent API change (at Spotify server end) broke the plugin?

The plugin just stopped working for me, too, sometime during the last few weeks (I don't use it regularly). Haven't investigated further (such as: what is in the logs etc.).

Not that I'm aware of. Can you share the log?

This is on Kodi 17.2 (LibreELEC). I have made authentication previously without any error messages.

The behaviour of the UI is: wheneven I try to open the plugin, it will display the "busy" animation (two concentric non-continuous circles rotating on the default skin), and a generic error (look in the logs for more information). It will display the busy animation indefinitely - I've waited 30minutes right now.

I was assuming there is something wrong because of other recent reports above, but my log file seems similar to only Gracus's report.
