Why?
TBH: I don't know. But I'm thankful for your posting, as I was about to drop spotty-hf. I was under the impression that either spotty or spotty-muslhf would always work... I don't understand why the behavior should have changed between the two versions, as by 2.2.2 I basically was back to building like before (in 2.2.0 I used a different tool-chain, trying to cross-compile). - spotty-hf is built on Pi3/Jessie, probably relying on the glibc version of that system. - therefore I introduced the muslhf variant, which should be "statically linked", eg. not relying on glibc at all. Built on the same system. Alas, for whatever reason it fails on some systems. - spotty is built for an older CPU architecture (armv5), targeting the many NAS devices out there using those CPUs. In my testing it also was the only one compatible with Raspberry Pi0/1. In order to figure out which one to use I the plugin tries to run each one of them, picking the first which wouldn't crash. Alas, it seems that the test sometimes would pass, while later on the helper would crash anyway. Or it crashes on some action which would work perfectly fine when run from a shell on the same system. Go figure... I'll probably add some feature to test actual playback with all of them, working around the need to create a symlink manually.
