Thanks for posting this - it seems to work for me on arm hard float. I will do some more testing and find out whether spotify have a concern about distributing patched versions of their library... (I've changed 4 bytes and it works!) Needs a new build of spotifyd as well, which is probably what was causing you some problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
