Re: [slim] Spotify Question for Michael - Will it really go away?
Would be interested in working on a plugin but honestly uncertain if I'd have time. For some reason, the Triode's 3rd party plugin stopped working yesterday, wasn't able to troubleshoot so changed to the helper & official Spotify app. Seems to be working so far, no problem streaming to 3 receivers and a boom simultaneously. Tried using Shairtunes to stream the Spotify app from my iPad and it was choppy, might be ok with just one or two receivers. Would be my fallback if no working Spotify app. "You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to."

Re: [slim] Spotify Question for Michael - Will it really go away?
If it does go then an echo dot or chromecast can replace the Spotify functionality. Not ideal but better than nothing. I would much prefer another plugin.

Re: [slim] Spotify Question for Michael - Will it really go away?
I have discovered quite a bit of new music on spotify that I would never have heard had I not had it (or another streaming service). If I like it enough, I get the cd/vinyl or whatever lossless.

Re: [slim] Spotify Question for Michael - Will it really go away?
This would be the final nail for me. My two SBT's w/the vortexbox is already buggy. Always having to diagnose what the issue is when I want to listen to music. I just can't turn it on and play music...something always has to be fixedEvery. Single. Time! If/when spotify goes I will probably get a Bluesound Node 2 (or two of them since I have two Touches). zordaz wrote: > I dropped by this thread and also read the announcement on the Spotify > developer website that Libspotify will finally be phased out somewhere > this year. > This is worrying news for the majority of the Squeezebox users I think. > So what surprises me is that apparently not many people seem concerned. > Or is it all happening behind the scenes? > > The Squeezebox community was able to handle many challenges during the > years, but can it handle this one?

Re: [slim] Spotify Question for Michael - Will it really go away?
I dropped by this thread and also read the announcement on the Spotify website that Libspotify will finally be phased out somewhere this year. This is worrying news for the majority of the Squeezebox users I think. So what surprises me is that apparently not many people seem concerned. Or is it all happening behind the scenes?

Re: [slim] Spotify Question for Michael - Will it really go away?
No, no date yet. And ickStream would most likely suffer the same fate. Not necessarily. Working this right now. Sounds good! I could maybe see a way forward for Logitech, too, but that would mean work and a firmware update.

Re: [slim] Spotify Question for Michael - Will it really go away?
My first question is when you updated the Spotify app a year or so ago, that this update used the new librespot library so for those of us using No, it did not. - The libspotify issue is a firmware issue. We're using it for the playback only. - The re-write was about the navigation, content finding, not the playback. All server-side. Moving from the old metadata API to the new web API. - Logitech can't use an in-official, reverse-engineered library which has not been approved by Spotify anyway. Spotify through the MSB interface and running a radio or touch we would be OK. Your recent post seems to indicate that the hardware firmware will need an update which is unlikely, correct? Yes. My second question is do you have a date when we will loose Spotify and are there any other options available? I read about Ickstream but it doesn't seem to have a Spotify implementation fully developed yet or even if it is still being supported. No, no date yet. And ickStream would most likely suffer the same fate. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Michael, a few questions for you or anyone else who has the answer.

You responded: >Yep, that will be the end. Unfortunately for the Radio/Touch, too, as >they are using libspotify in the firmware. >Who's taking the challenge to come up with the first librespot based >plugin (https://github.com/plietar/librespot)?...
