Heck... this is a FAQ, but I can't find a good response of mine which I could quote :-D. Therefore I'll try to write it up now, and keep a reference to this posting around. Here we go: A few parameters come into play when you want to be able to control a Connect enabled Spotty instance: - Network - Spotty's announcement mode - User account - The Spotify app's configuration In the simplest case your mobile device running the Spotify app would be connected to the same network where LMS was running, and Spotty would be able to announce its availability in your network. In that case any user would see the player. Sometimes Spotty fails to announce its clients in your network. In that case the Spotify app would only see the players Spotify's servers know about. This is limited to the players configured to user your user account. In this case other users can't see your players. Even worse if you configured your Spotify app to only show local players: in this case the app would ignore the information from Spotify's servers. Thus not seeing players connected to Spotify, nor those in your network (because Spotty's announcements fail). So, if your second user does not see your players, it's likely due to Spotty failing the local announcements: in this case the Spotify relies on the list of devices known to your account. As that's different for your other user, he can't see your player. You'd see the "Don't announce Squeezebox players..." option checked in Settings/Advanced/Spotty if that was the case. That pref is set automatically if the helper crashes regularly. You can try to remove it. But it would likely be set again after a few minutes if there was a problem with the spotty helper.
