I’ve created a new Spotify add-on for Kodi using the Web API, offering full features like library browsing and playlist editing. It’s in beta and available on my Kodi repo. Now using librespot, it supports local playback on Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Raspberry Pi 2/3. Spotify Premium is required, and Pi 1/Zero isn’t supported.

Does anyone has doubt

Any chance of a normal 'free' Spotify add-on?

You can have download from spotimod.com it offer complete free.

Hi glk1001,
Thank you for the spotify addon. I am trying to change out of List view as default, however even when I change the view, List remains default for every album that hasn't been specifically changed.
I tried deleting viewmodes6.db and changing the the following line in myvideonav.xml:

<defaultcontrol always="true">50</defaultcontrol>
To
<defaultcontrol always="true">66</defaultcontrol>

However List continues to be the default. 

I discussed with the author of the skin I was using, and he said 
 Quote:
ListView is the default view for all media. To change this you need to change a lot of parts of the code.
In any case, if you set a view for a specific content type (movies, albums, songs etc) Kodi will remember that choice and will show the same content with the last view you have chosen.
This is not happening in your case because the addon that you using doesn't set the proper content type for each media type.

Are you able to look into this?

Thanks

[StevieB]

where do find this?

Hi Wags1, Very difficult to get the addon working on later versions of Android. There is extra security that makes it very hard to run the required 'Spotty' binary

[glk1001]

Hi StevieB, What you are looking for is probably in the addon file 'plugin_content.py' I haven't ever looked at content type but I'll see if there's an easy fix.

Hi mollyrocco, Yes the log show access token expired. I'm afraid I can't explain that - I know for me using Ubuntu 24.04, I have no need to re-authenticate. Does anyone else have access token expired problems?

[glk1001]

Hi Orphu, I'll try putting a setting in

[StevieB]

thank you. I'm using your plugin for a jukebox in my virtual pinball machine, and have limited input devices (mainly the flippers), so I need a view that in horizontal scroll only.

@glk1001 Appreciate the response.

Hi StevieB,

The Spotify plugin currently has settings under 'Views' that may do what you want. They take a view mode id which can be List, Grid, ICons, etc. Unfortunately, even with a fair bit of googling, I couldn't find out what ids to use. On my Kodi with an Aeon Nox Silvo skin, view mode = 50 was a normal list, and view mode = 54 was a wide icon list. If you can figure out what id will work with your skin then that may do what you want. Possibly view mode = 54 will work for you. Under 'Views', you need to set each of the settings

Default view for categories
Default view for playlists
Default view for artists
Default view for albums
Default view for songs

to the id you want.

Hi Orphu,

In version 1.3.12, I've added a "problem_with_terminate_streaming" setting to turn off terminating streaming early. This may help other Raspberry Pi users that are experiencing skipping or other non-smooth playback.
