Topic: Spotify Broken (for me) as of 8 Jan 2021 - Throws exception on install/bootup and asks you to visit website to authenticate with spotify (even if you have previously done so).
The recent CherryPi v12.0 update two days ago broke the Spotify addon for me (on an OSMC Pi). It now throws an exception (it affects SkipHelperService too, so you likely will see that error if you have it), and on selecting Spotify, it pushes you to login to a website (which doesn't work on osmc). Until this is fixed, I reinstalled CherryPy 11 for now and prevented updates; this enables me to go on using the spotify etc.
These (deliberately verbose) instructions are for confluence and work for now (so long as the cherrypy module at this location is not updated); in other skins things will be in different places.
Download:
https://github.com/kodi-community-addons...master.zip
somewhere your kodi can see (on my Pi I donwloaded it and scp'ed it to my osmc home space) and then System: Add-ons -> Install from Zip. Then select this file and install.
Now System: System: Add-ons -> Manage dependencies. Find CherryPi. Check it says version 11*. Select and turn off autoupdates. (note the double depth System menu item on confluence here -> it is different menu from the Addons menu above).
Hopefully future fix updates will allow us to turn on autoupdates for CherryPi again. Once we tick do it to AutoUpdate, it will pick up the most recenct CherryPi version from the marcelveldt repository.
* (if not I would check the github repository has not been updated to v12, and if not delete all thing dependent on CherryPi, uninstall CherryPI, try again and then reinstall upstream apps, but this shouldn't be necessary)
