Thanks for the info. As you saw, the only analysis of the audio stream I do is via either JSON or XBMC function calls. But 1.5.4 does that more frequently than 1.5.2. I was going to point to the JSON calls as a potential culprit, but I changed over to those in 1.5.2 and thus would have expected AS to cause problems earlier if that was really the case.

Anyway, if folks get some logs and post them here, I'd be happy to take a look.

Hi pkscuot,

Thanks for offering your help with this issue, I've just learnt how to enable debug logging and have captured a log for you, so the skipping audio with AS + Spotimc problem can further be investigated (if it even is related to AS at all). I'm not sure if you've read the full discussion on the issue, but the gist is Spoticmc will begin repeatedly pausing and skipping commencing from the second song in any playlist if AS is also enabled, but the first song will always plays fine. If I disable AS no more skipping in Spotimc.

Here are my notes for each notable event that took place and should correspond to the debug log:
1) ~21:13:00 Boot into xbmc (xbmcbuntu) to begin debug log session.
2) ~21:15:15 Begin playing first song in Spotimc
3) ~21:16:15 I press TAB on keyboard to start artist slideshow visualisation
4) ~21:18:00 Artist info and slideshow images begin to populate the screen
5) ~21:19:10 First song ends and next song automatically starts playing.
6) ~21:19:20 Second song begins to repeatedly pause and play for 5 seconds each over and over.
7) ~21:21:00 I stop the song playback here, at which point it had still been repeatedly pausing and playing every 5 or so seconds each.
8) ~21:21:10 I exit out of Spotimc

Hopefully this information proves useful. I love your plugin, so fingers crossed there's its an easy one! I look forward to using the AS plugin again and enjoying the recent improvements with the artist information - its looking good.
