I'm now considering re-copying pCP to the SD card and starting again. For a few minutes, after acting on your instruction, Spotify was working beautifully so at least I know that it CAN work!

Thank you all for your help and patience. Following your advice I now have LMS 7.9.1 installed with Spotty enabled and have a Spotty icon in My Apps on an SB Radio. However, I am now baffled by Spotty Authorisation (see image) and cannot find the list of Spotify available devices. I have tried unsuccessfully to do this on my PC and on an iPhone.

I had already tried this without success, and now have tried it again without success. My procedure has been as follows: 1. After updating LMS 7.9 to 7.9.1, I identified the plugin, "Spotty Spotify implementation for Squeezebox. Not quite connect ready", in the 3rd party plugins list. 2. I checked 'enable' and it then appeared at the top of the plugin listings -above- the 'enable' header. 3. I then restarted LMS and it has disappeared completely. Do you think LMS could be corrupted? mphearn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1764 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107656 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
