I'm happy to announce Spotty 2.8.0 - which I call the philippe44
release! Thanks to philippe44's contribution, Spotty now can play
without any transcoding involved. We can finally play the Spotify OGG
stream directly on the Squeezebox. Transcoding options still are
available, of course. Previously Spotify's OGG stream would have been
transcoded to PCM, then in LMS from PCM to FLAC (by default), adding
more CPU overhead than necessary on your LMS machine.

In addition to this direct streaming of the audio data, the spotty
helper now features improved support for those dynamic playlists Spotify
offers. If you're using Spotty in Connect mode, you should have access
to the daily mixes etc. This feature was introduced by the librespot
team - Librespot is the underlying library which does all the Spotify
streaming interaction.
So this is the biggest release in a long time, with the smallest
contribution of myself :-D.
Some limitations still apply:
- Seeking within the OGG stream isn't possible at this point. When you
see, Spotty would fall back to transcode the stream into something it
can seek with.
- OGG direct streaming unfortunately is not available on the armel
platform. I haven't managed to compile the latest helper for this
platform. But it should still continue to work as before.
- I've given up trying to build for arm-muslhf. That binary was kind
of redundant anyway, as the glibc linked version seems to be working
very well.
Enjoy the music!
