The OS is Code: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) . Also starting a new track gives the same strange noise. The strange thing is I cant think of anything I have actively changed. I have had the problem that the spotty app failed with the failure to get access token error for some time (but so instead I have been playing over AirPlay). It seems this was because no helper app could be found. But now I wanted to fix that. Thats when I installed the legacy helper and this new strange problem turned up. Did something change in the last few weeks/months that could cause this? One thing thats strange to me is that spotty suggest using the armv8 helper app, but AFAIK my Raspberry Pi model armv6. Is it possible LMS/Spotty is mistaking the architecture of the server and this is causing problems?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.6 - sorting option for Albums/Artists/Songs, replay gain fix
Continuing from the Spotty 4.5 thread: So now I am on 4.6. And the problem persists, I tried an other player to (squeezebox touch) and the sound is the same. The sound is just crackling noises, and the music is not recognizable at all. I have tried removing the helper applications from the plugins menu and tried adding both the legacy one, and the ARMv8/aarch64 one. But only the legacy one (the one I listed in the thread) seems to work (when that is not there the Spotty settings page tells me there is a problem finding the helper app). I tried running the different helper apps from command line and all but the legacy fail with errors either illegal instruction or Exec format error (which I believe hints the binary is for the wrong architecture?), this includes the one called spotty-custom you mentioned. I have also enabled flac and pcm for Spotty in the File Types settings. I have also re-entered my account credentials just to be sure. When using the legacy helper, there is no messages in the logs about spotty. In fact, the app seems to act fully like it should except for the sound being wrong. I can search, get cover art and everything. I am not really sure what to try next. Any ideas?

I am having a weird problem with Spotty. Its just playing crackling noises. It was failing with an error saying something like failed to get access token, with a recommendation to try a spotty helper application. The suggested helper application did not seem to fix the problem, so I tried the legacy one (for ARM, this is running on an aging raspberry pi).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.1.0
I just lost the old spotify app :(. I finally have spotty set up and it seems to work fine. I had some trouble installing everything on my Raspberry Pi though, and thought I would share my "solutions". First with how to install the 7.9.1 nightly build. I ended up following the "Installing LMS (squeezebox) server" of this guide: http://www.gerrelt.nl/RaspberryPi/wordpress/tutorial-stand-alone-squeezebox-server-and-player-for-bbq/ substituting 7.9.0 with 7.9.1. Second I had trouble figuring out how to get IO::Socket::SSL installed. I ended up following the steps here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49735=386673 I am not sure if those are exactly right, but things seem to be working now. I was thinking, maybe instructions on how to do these things (in particular the SSL stuff caused me trouble) should be added to the top post of this thread? I am sure the thread has better directions than those in this post, but the thread is already 51 pages, and too much work to go through.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
jinja wrote: Curent setup - Vortexbox running 2.3, Ipeng for Ipad and IPeng 7 - 3 x Squeezebox classics v3. I have installed Shairport via the vortexbox gui and this appears to be interfering with the ability for my ipeng app to connect with the squeezebox server. Before shairport / shairtunes isa installed all works well. After when opening Ipeng no players can be see, won't synchronise. I have also posted this on Vortexbox forum, though not sure if this is more an issue between Ipeng and Shairport. This sounds similar to the troubles I was having a few weeks/months ago, just after I upgraded my vortexbox and installed Shairport. All of a sudden my whole set up started acting very strange, players were not detected and so on. Allthough I never figured out what was going on I did noticed that several instances of the squeezeboxserver was running on my machine, and I suspected that was the problem (I really don't know, it is just a guess). Maybe the shairport plugin fails in some way that makes the squeezeboxserver process fork itself? (again total speculation on my part). Anyway I completely fixed the problem by reinstalling the server without reinstalling the shairport plugin. See this thread for how to do that: http://vortexbox.org/forum/vortexbox/general/55669-solved-squeezebox-server-running-multiple-times-on-server-should-it-do-that @Pippin: A while ago I promised I would test a fix for iPeng that should make it crash less often on my iPhone. I just wanted to apologies that I never gave any feedback. I got super busy at work and just didn't have time to play around with it. I am not really experiencing the crashes anymore. I am not sure if this could have to do with me reinstalling the server as described above though.

However, it seems to me that Spotify is phasing out the Starred Tracks feature in favour of the Your Music/Saved Music functionality. So my guess is that that is the problem rather than Triodes plugin. Personally I would love to see support for the Your Music functionality in the plugin. It is essentially the same as Starred Tracks only the music in Your Music is presented more like a library/collection/(database) than just a playlist, and is thus much easier to browse.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I am having a lot of problems with iPeng 7 crashing on my iPhone 5. More or less randomly the app will simply close it self and I will need to relaunch it. Sometimes it only crashes to the first screen of iPeng, so no relaunch is required but it jumps out of whatever menu I am at. This particularly seems to happen when using Triodes Spotify plugin (although that might just be because that is what I am mostly using). It is very annoying when browsing music deep in some menu to be snapped all the way back to the beginning. I sent a whole bunch of crash reports from the app, but I just wanted to know if there is anything I can do myself to make this stop/less frequent?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
pippin wrote: Ooohhh. Thanks for contacting me!!! I knew from crash reports that iPeng 7 was having these issues for some people, but literally nobody was ever contacting me beyond sending crash reports and none of my beta testers seem to have the issue (that's not entirely true, one recent tester has it but for various reasons wasn't able to test a fix, yet). This made it very hard to fix since it wasn't reproducible. It's a messy situation around memory management. Apple introduced a new memory management model, actually already several years ago (with iOS 5). Since iPeng consists of several 100.000 lines of code I was never courageous enough to convert to it even though there is an automatic converter. For iPeng 7 I finally did the switch and it brought with it this problem. I do actually think I have a fix. A recent change made it somewhat more reproducible and I actually found a petty obscure issue that created the effect, indeed. Would you be willing to test the fix? If yes, could you send me a diagnostics mail from within iPeng? Just tap the mail link under Help. When we know whether the fix works I'm going to tell you a bit more about it since I'm pretty convinced that it's also related to the rest of your setup and that will probably cause other issues for you, too, but I want to know whether my fix works first :) One thing... I didn't understand this part of your description: Do you mean it leaves the currently selected menu without crashing? That's also not a crash... but probably related to these other issues with your setup that I mentioned :) We'll go after that later... That said, iPeng 7 still drops the menu tree when you are in a menu that's under More, not under one of the other tabs whenever you leave and re-enter the App, moving Spotify to one of the shortcut tabs should help here, also makes definite sense if you are using it so much, doesn't it? I mean that while in some menu under Spotify the app will snap back to More, and I have to go back manually. Actually I did not know that I could alter the tabs, I will try it from now on. And yes I would very much like to test your fix :). I am not sure if I can consistently reproduce the crash though. However it happens pretty often, so it should be clear if the fix is working :). Will it also work on iPad? I think there is a similar issue there, but I am not sure (I mainly use iPeng on the phone). EDIT: For the email to be useful do I need to be connected to my server?

I scroll to the bottom to do a search. The search gives me 5 possibilities for the Artist. I tap Artists to find the correct one in the list. The artists has 10 albums. I tap albums to get the right one. Finally I see the album I want to play. SNAP! iPeng goes back to the More, and I have to start all over again.

Is there any plans/possibilities to let the plugin work together with the new Your Music feature in Spotify? I think it is a really nice way to have a kind of collection of music in Spotify. Right now I just have a playlist for every album I like, which works well with this plugin. It gets a little disorganized though. Adding the music you like to Your Music seems like a better choice because it lets you sort the music by album/artist/song.
