Yes. I came from apple and loved to play spotify over air play. This is of cause not possible with android now and that is why i found this issue.

actually i use airaudio on android to stream audio from my phone to kodi over airplay. it's possible.

Thanks for the hint. But i can not find this app in playstore besides airmusic instead. To run this i have to install zeroconf again and spotify will find the airplay Kodi device?

i think it's called airmusic in the play store. and i forgot - you need root access on your phone. i always root my phone so i don't keep track on that. but you can check if it works without it, they have a free app for testing. there's also another app i just saw called hyfi that claims to be able to do what you need (airplay for spotify on kodi). if you're rooted than airmusic is the one to go for. it can stream all audio from any app on your phone over airplay or dlna and it shows track info for what you're listening once you set that up in the settings.

Hello,
Can somebody confirm that the Spotify connect function is not working at Kodi v19 RC with latest version 1.2.0 from ldsz (from Here)?  That is the only thing that not work for me.
Thanks

Hi, by "not working" you mean, you cannot connect to it at all or you don't get sound? For me , i can connect in mobile client, but no sound is produced from kodi

After some cargo cult programming, i think, i nailed it. I can get sound directly from kodi and also using connect. I will clone and patch repository and put link here

Did it work as expected ?

Here is the repo, with minimal changes needed to get sound out of it again:
https://github.com/Elkropac/plugin.audio.spotify

i was also trying upgrading cheroot and cherrypy and spotty client, but it's not necessary now.

I still get spotty launched and zombified several times, but i don't know if it behaved like that before on older kodi

Hi all. I installed https://github.com/ldsz/plugin.audio.spotify a week or two ago on Kodi 19, seemed to work fine. Tried to play it this evening however and it failed to play, instead it seemed to rapidly skip through all the titles in my playlist before crashing.

I just installed https://github.com/ldsz/plugin.audio.spotify on Matrix running on Windows 10 and it works great! Thank you! Playback is smooth and I can select and play items either from directly within the Kodi interface or use it as a Spottyconnect endpoint. The only issue I've run into is there's a slight pause of 2-3 seconds between songs. Otherwise, things are working exactly as I'd want them to.

Hi,

I just installed https://github.com/ldsz/plugin.audio.spotify on 19.1 and Win10. I can see my playlists and after start a track, it jumps from one track to the other without playback.

Hi Uwe
Had exactly same issue when updating from 19 to 19.1. Tried to re-install Spotify without success, switching back to 19.0 did the "trick" at the moment. I normally would not expect such issues in minor updates of Kodi Version - strange.
Regards

[FernetMenta]

Set buffermode to 0 (old default) and the addon will work with 19.1.

After trying to get the embedded spotty player to work with no luck for a while I decided to give spotifyd a try, and for my setup (Ubuntu x86-64) it seems that spotifyd is more stable. I can play music from my phone or my laptop to my mediacenter, and all it took was to set up a working spotifyd config and then launch it from the Startup.xml of my favorite skin.

Now I want a Kodi frontend for Spotify, to drive the daemon. I wonder if it would make sense to build on this excellent work, splitting it into two parts, a player backend, and a controller front-end. That way it would be possible to swap out different back-end players to allow users to find one that works for them, and concentrate on making the front-end rock solid.

Does this seem like a reasonable idea? What do you all think?
