Good news everybody, Spotify enhanced their API with connect control.
This means I am working on changes to the addon so it will act more like the other spotify clients.
Within a few days I think I can publish some first version

Can we also have Spotify connect support using these updates API's?

I really want to have Spotify on Vero 4k

The original open source development: https://github.com/plietar/librespot
The first works-out-of-the-box service addon for LibreELEC: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/8438-librespot-addon/
Perhaps this would also be something interesting, as it does not require to input user:pass to get a connection. It just works like any Spotify Connect Device in a Wifi Network, hence anybody on a party can connect to it and push songs onto the client without bothering with authentification and so on.
Yes, I'll be using that implementation for playback.
The changes in the webapi were also needed to control spotify players.
If you're just seeking for a Spotify connect add-on to stream music from your phone, you'd better go with the libreElec librespot add-on.
I'm focusing on playback and control of Spotify on Kodi itself

Hmm, that's unfortunate, but as you are on a non-libreelec system, you can try to install those dependencies. Libreelec does not allow that, so you'd have a bigger issue if you encountered this on LibreELEC rather than on a Ubuntu system or so.

well, the problem with that is, that the reported missing dependency is libreelec itself.

Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to use this add-on with a a regular Kodi installation that is not libreelec (e.g. Kodi & Ubuntu) ?
Yes, that is what I am currently working on. The Spotify playback would than be handled by the Kodi player.
