I tried to get Spotimc running on my ATV2. The setup is iOS 4.3 (possible to run own build from master).
The installation went just fine and after an initial run where I saw that spotimc was looking for libspotify in the /osx folder i simply renamed the libspotify file there and uploaded the iOS version instead (version 12.1.51). Despite this it refuses to accept the libspotify file I have placed there and complains about it's an unknown file type.
See log file at;
http://pastebin.com/CAAcEuaN
Would it be possible for spotimc to;
1) Identify that if it's an iOS device instead look in the /ios folder
2) Accept the iOS build of libspotify
Would be more than willing to help you out to test this one out for you.

First of all, thank you very much for your help! Tried with the latest ATV2 XBMC nighties, replacing the OSX lib with the iOS one as you did, with the same results.
It seems that the current iOS version of libspotify cannot be dynamically loaded on runtime, but I'm not very sure as I'm no Apple guru. If some iOS savvy could shed some light on the issue...
The following python snippet gives the same results (tested with commandline python, installed using Cydia):
Code:
import ctypes
lib = ctypes.CDLL('path to libspotify library file')

So if you for example would like to play some songs with spotimc, and then browse your movies while the music is playing. you can not get back into spotimc to change music without restarting. Is it possible maybe to bind a hotkey to jump back to the same spotimc session, instead of trying to start a new?
Didn't have a chance to look at this issue lately. It seems that the running Spotimc instance gets lost in the wild, but have no idea how to bring it back (if it's possible). Thanks for the remainder!

One question: Is fanarts supposed to work in fullscreen? I only get a black background. I had the same problem in spotyxbmc2. It works for local music.
Have anyone experienced this problem?
I can successfully enable fanart on fullscreen mode, but it has been reported that XBMC may fail to load fanart with tracks containing more than an artist (such as collaboration ones). Maybe that's the case?

BTW, Spotimc won't work yet on iPad/iPhone, as the ios version of libspotify is not provided by the installation package.
Just a quick heads-up, and a question:
Nightly builds of XBMC for ATV2 are back online as the libav / ffmpeg bug has been fixed (http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/ )
At the time of writing the post above you state that the iOS version of libspotify is not provided in the installation package. Is this still the case? If it is, can you insert it for the next release? Presumably this should make it compatible with iOS(?). I'll be happy to test this later in the week
Thank you for the update! I was eagerly waiting for this to happen!
Sadly I tested Spotimc with the latest nighties and it still doesn't work. It seems that python is unable to dynamically load the iOS version of libspotify, as I wrote to @
Rooster77 previously on this post.

It's only one thing I havn't figured out and that is queueing songs. Is it possible and I just havn't figured out how?
Currently there's no option to queue songs. I've been playing with some code that it's not ready yet, but hopefully will be included on future versions when it gets polished.

Let us know
Just tried Beta1 with the July 3 nightly but it did not work. Mazkolain said some changes needed to be made to make addon run on ARM and I am not sure if libspotify is included yet or not.
Beta1 does not yet include the iOS version of libspotify, but as stated previously on this post, it seems that currently python is unable to load this library on the ATV2.
Just another roadblock...
