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?
