The spotify add-on is amazing. It is in fact my most used add-on and is for me what makes kodi what it is. I fortunately, since update to kodi 17, have not been able to use it at all. I'm not sure if its something that I am doing wrong but no tracks play at all and on selection causes a temporary hang. I am using the most up to date version (.30?) From your beta repo. Any suggestions?

Please check the following:

1. In the add-on settings set playback to directly use the soundcard, see if that helps.
2. In the plugin entry (when you browse) make sure you select your local machine as the Spotify Connect target. As a test you may want to set it to another device and back. It can be flakey sometimes.

Also, whenever you want to report an issue, make sure to include details, such as what hardware, OS and your kodi logfile.

I read that kodi is looking for add-on developers to join their official repo. This would get my vote as when it works I love this add-on. Before kodi 17 it was flawless.

Looking forward to having it back, thanks for the excellent work.

This add-on will not be included in the official repo in it's current state because it uses a 3th party binary to handle the playback which is against the rules to be included in the official repo. If Spotify ever decides to finally launch an enhancement to their api to make the playback possible, this add-on can be submitted to the official repo.
