Here is a quick update: Both Spotify plugins are now working on Radio, Touch and Boom (with one limitation). I don't quite understand why, but here's what I changed since my last post: When I noticed that Triode's plugin no longer worked on the Touch, I checked whether I had accidentally changed some settings and so I found the setting "Always Stream via Helper" which was dis-activated (I guess as a default) and since it's explanation says that it "will disable firmware streaming for any players with built-in Logitech Spotify support." I figured that installing the native Spotify Plugin perhaps counts as "built in Logitech Spotify support". And when I read that "firmware streaming is automatically bypassed when players are synchronised and for players which do not have built-in Spotify support", I thought, that sounds familiar to me (see my previous post). So I activated "Always Stream via Helper" and voilà: not only did the Triode Spotify app work again but also the Logitech Spotify App started working. :o However, and that is the limitation, it stopped working on the Boom (the Triode app works though). But as soon as I turn the Helper off again, the Boom plays fine with the Logitech app. I shall leave it to the developers here to make sense of this, but as far as I can see, there seems to be one conclusion to be made from this: if Triode adds a little tweak to the app that allows users to activate the helper only for selected players, the both apps could be used on all players. *Server*: LMS 7.7.5 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver & Controller), Boom, Squeezeplayer on iPad 2 *Remote control apps*: iPeng (iOS), SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Switch Player, SmartMix, Custom Browse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706
