Hi.
Just wanted to report back....
I updated to 1.1.34 yesterday morning and proceeded to play a random spotify playlist of 100 tracks. The stability was very good, a few silent passages around the 60th track, then random sound drop outs completely, until I forwarded onto the next track. A marked improvement though.
With the drop outs I thought it might be my ISP, but given its a 200 Mbit link I'm not so sure? And, assume its not Spotify themselves! Deffo silent parts, but no stuttering as such that I could hear, just drop outs in the sound, playing to the device, no connect in use.
Thanks for the efforts!
Kodi 17.4. Libreelec 8.02e Community. Beelink S912 Dev 2G/16G.
UPDATE: Just updated to 1.1.36 so running a few playlists to test and report in general. Connect is off, cache is on.

Please test again with version 1.1.36, that change should not be needed anymore as I switched from full wsgi to the more simple cherrypy server.

Can you let me know the test results with version 1.1.36 ? I changed the buffer size a bit which should solve that stuttering issue you noticed.

If Kodi 17 is working, though, that's probably the kick in the pants I need to get around to upgrading!
Oh, strange. Your log stated Windows 32 bits so I assumed you were running a 32bits OS.
Maybe because Kodi itself is 32bits on Windows that it also lists the OS as 32 bits, will have to check on that.
Strange why the librespot/spotty executable won't run on your machine.
You can try to open a command prompt, navigate to the Kodi addons folder and try to run spotty.exe manual from plugin.audio.spotify\resources\lib\spotty\windows
I'm very curious what you get as output.

Thanks for sorting it out. I assumed the VC runtime is installed by Kodi but I was wrong with that assumption.
I'll try to fix the VC++ RT dependency or else I'll include a warning message.

For as long as the add-on works, it looks and works great. However, after 2:40 min tracks stop playing, after which occasionally the next track begins, or the system crashes.
I'm running LibreELEC on a raspberry pi 2, see attached the error log. Seems that something is causing timeouts of the stream which leads the thing to fail. Any idea's how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
Hmm, strange. The range requests by the Kodi player seem to be failing somehow on your system.
Did you test with version 1.1.36 of the add-on ? Does it always stop at 2:40 min ?

Are you 100% sure you've entered the correct credentials ?
If you have a Facebook account to log into spotify you might want to create a device password and log in with that details.
You can create a device account when you log into spotify in the webbrowser in your account details.
