Did some more testing today (Ubuntu 16.0.4, Kodi NUC). With local playback everything seems to be working. I cannot get connect client mode to work though. After a Kodi fresh start I can see the Spotify client advertising on the network. But the spotty-x84_64-musl process crashes or stops very soon afterwards (vanishes from the system monitor processes list without an error notification). I also tried to restart spotty manually from outside of Kodi, but that didn't work either.

Please test with 1.1.16... This was already discussed here in the posts.

I do have 1.1.16 installed.

This is what showed up in my logs just directly after a fresh start of Kodi (no idea if that's significant or not):

Code:

07:45:10.807 T:139951526090496  NOTICE: plugin.audio.spotify --> Start Spotify Connect Daemon
07:45:12.656 T:139951526090496  NOTICE: plugin.audio.spotify --> waiting for playerid
07:45:54.406 T:139950284592896  NOTICE: plugin.audio.spotify --> Stopped Spotify Connect Daemon

Fact is that as soon as I start to play a song from a desktop or mobile Spotify client with Spotify for Kodi selected as the connect target the Spotty process seems to crash and Kodi is no longer an available target for those other Spotify clients.
