Not clear to me whether what I'm trying to do is really supported by Clementine, forgive me if I'm trying to fit the square peg in the round hole, but here we go...
I've got a Raspberry Pi 3 that I use as a media player - music only. I was running Mopidy on it but got a bit tired with it's limitations (and the family acceptance factor was low since it's really something that appeals to we nuts-and-bolts guys.) I had run Clementine before on a full-blown Linux-based computer media center, so I thought I'd try it on the Pi3. Amazingly enough, it works great. Apparently the Pi3 has enough muscle to run it - everything about it (including the Clementine Android remote app) works perfectly EXCEPT Spotify.. I'm getting the same problem mentioned elsewhere - attempting to login results in endless "signing in", never completes. I've googled a bunch of this, there are various suggestions out there. Admittedly I'm a bit of a Linux noob - but I'm a DOS command line guy from way back and a bit of a programmer so once I figure out that the DOS "dir" is Linux "ls" and other ways to do the same things, I'm fine. I've tried everything I can find, which usually involves downloading and installing various dependencies. Almost EVERY post I see, however, says - at the end - "even though I got Spotify to login, ________ still doesn't work", followed generally by "everything has been fixed in 1.3.1, just download and install that.." Well.... that's what I did, and it's not working. FYI, the link to the Raspberry Pi download on the Clementine site gets you a version of 1.23, so to get 1.3.1 I had to download a .deb file and install it from there. I know, maybe that's not SUPPOSED to work, but it seems to have worked just fine - everything's great EXCEPT this Spotify thing. The plugin shows "installed" just fine. And, yes, I have a Spotify Premium account.... Is this just something that plain won't work on the Raspberry Pi3? Should I just give up? Am I missing something really basic? Is there a tutorial somewhere on "how to get Clementine to work with Spotify" that I'm missing? Thanks all!
