Hi,

I'm trying to run the Spotify add-on, but I keep getting "Playback failed" errors

Login to my Spotify account works fine, and I can list my songs, but whenever I try to play one of them, the systems freezes and I get the "Playback failed" error after a minute or so.

I'm running the latest version (1.3.8) of the add-on.
My Kodi skin is Aeon Nox: SiLVO
I'm running Kodi Nexus 20.2 on CoreELEC

This is the log file:

I can see a line with an error ("error <general>: plugin.audio.spotifypotty_audio_streamerend_part_audio_stream: Nothing read from stdout."), but I don't know if that's the cause nor how to fix it

Any help, much appreciated

Thanks!

I reply to my own post with an update.

After A LOT of testing and trial and error, I was finally able to discover the cause of the issues I was having with the Spotify add-on

It was another add-on: Artist Slideshow. I had it installed and was trying to make it work together with the Spotify add-on. Apparently, there is some sort of "conflict" between the two add-ons as Artist Slideshow is probably trying to fetch images from online sources for the currently playing artist on Spotify, and this likely causes an interference with the streaming of the Spotify add-on. I had to completely uninstall Artist Slideshow AND disable all integration with it from my current Kodi skin (Aeon Nox: SiLVO) to get the Spotify add-on working again.
I think that the conflict between the two add-ons that's preventing the Spotify add-on from working correctly isn't about bandwidth, because I have more than enough for concurrent music streaming and downloading images, but about something else (which I don't know yet)

I'd like to be able to get the two add-ons working together again, Artist Slideshow is a nice complement to Spotify, but for now this doesn't appear likely.

Has anyone got Artist Slideshow and Spotify working together?
Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this issue? Should I ask in the Artist Slideshow thread too?

Thanks
