yeah here it is:
https://pastebin.com/8LRdkC50
It plays for some time, but then stops and skips to the next track + in a few situations it would error with wrong user/password, but that happened only 2 or 3 times
It streams for about 30 seconds then times out. So there's probably a timeout setting somewhere. I'll have a look. Is the device you're using pretty slow?
hi! the device is rooted amazon fire tv stick 4k. not sure if thats considered to be slow? it does handle most of the audio/video stuff I let it play, but spotify might be a different story in this context. mostly using it to stream some inet radio stations, mp3/flac/wav and videos from a nas
PS it did play much longer then 30 seconds in some cases. even played few songs without interrupting, so not sure about a particular times limit that is set somewhere?
PPS I looked up the specs - 4x ARM Cortex - A55 up to 2.0 GHz with 1.5gb of ram. not much ram, so could that be the case?
Hi, This is pretty difficult to figure out. I tried a Firestick Lite and it worked fine with the Spotify plugin. It's specs are:
Running on Amazon AFTSS with Android TV 9.0.0 API level 28, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.4.162+
FFmpeg version/source: 4.4.1-Kodi
Host CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l), 4 cores available
Product: sheldon, Device: sheldon, Board: sheldon - Manufacturer: Amazon, Brand: Amazon, Model: AFTSS, Hardware: mt8695
It has only 1GB of RAM so I don't think RAM is the issue. It also runs on Android 9 not Android 7 like yours and it was released Sep 2020 whereas yours is Oct 2018.
Looking at your log again I'm guessing Kodi is doing something that messes with the stream. I don't think it's necessarily a timeout. In your log there is this:

I have no idea why Kodi is prematurely finishing the activity here. If you can figure out how to get debug logging to work that may help. (I tried setting 'debug' in both the GUI and 'advancedsettings.xml' but Kodi would not output any debug lines.)
