Just put a couple of albums in 'basic' mapping, and the rest that were in 'Advanced' were found. S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Another Spotty question about genres
Hmmm, spoke too soon! I've selected the genres I want for each album in my Spotify album list, I've saved the changes, I've rescanned the data base, and I've even installed an update to LMS that was available, and yet my Spotify albums are still in the Genre 'Spotify' and not where I would like them to be, like Jazz or Classical. I can't see anything I've missed, so any help would be appreciated.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Another Spotty question about genres
Since my previous problem with Spotty has been solved, I've been using it a lot more, and am building up a collection of albums. However, all Spotify albums seem to go into the Genre "Spotify" regardless of what genre they may be. Is there any way of editing this so that I can move, say, Jazz, albums into Genre 'Jazz', Classical into 'Classical' etc? That way, it will integrate even better with my local library for things like random play. On all my local music files, I can change Genres using MP3Tag, but with Spotify there isn't a file I can tag, unless I've missed something. Thanks for any help. S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Just a final note from me on this. Since changing to transcoding to FLAC rather than playing Ogg natively, there have been no problems whatsoever. Spotty is working flawlessly, and I really appreciate the library integration with my local files. Thanks again to all who helped.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Success! Just played two symphonies with longish movements and no skipping. I presume that with Ogg enabled, the decoding is done in the Server and with it disabled, in the SBT. (Or is it the other way round?) If that's right, I wonder why it makes a difference where the decoding is done, and why skipping only happens after 6 minutes or more? Anyway, very glad it's now working properly so thanks for the suggestions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it and report back. I though Ogg had to be enabled for Spotty, as that's what's used for compression.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
Still trying to understand what's happening with this. I've downloaded and enabled Reliable, just in case that had any bearing, and it's still skipping after 6 minutes or so. I've tried using Spotify's app on my tablets, and it's fine, no skipping. I've tried using Squeezeplayer on my tablet and sending to the SBT, it skips. The only consistent thing is that whenever Spotify plays through the SBT, it only plays the first 6 minutes or so of a long track. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable on the logs to know what they're telling me. I can't see a time-stamp so don't know when an event happened, so don't know whether a log entry is relevant, but I accept that could be me, just not understanding the log entries. If anyone can advise exactly where the Spotty logs are kept, I'll have a look and post the relevant parts. Thanks. S.

No, the SBT is completely standard. I also tried using Spotify's app on my tablet, and using Connect to the SBT. It still skipped to the next track on the album on long tracks. However, Soundicity was still running whilst Connect was streaming. I'll later try Connect without Soundicity.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
I've installed LMS 8.1 and added my new Spotify ID but it's still skipping on long tracks. LMS is on a W10 laptop, and I'm controlling it through Soundicity on a W10 tablet. Works fine on music files stored on the laptop, for streaming from BBC, other internet radio stations and Radio Paradise. It only misbehaves on Spotify and on long tracks, and not every time, but perhaps 80% of the time. Really annoying!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify only plays first six minutes of a track then skips to next track in album
As thread title. Ever since I've been using Spotty on my SBT, if an album track is longer than about six minutes, it only plays the first six minutes or so, then skips to the next track. It doesn't happen every time, but it only ever skips on longer tracks, never anything under 6 minutes. I didn't use Spotify much before, but now with LMS 8, and the excellent Spotify integration, I'd like to use it a lot more if it wasn't for this issue. Any ideas?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
I am somewhat confused by the bitrate and format that my SBT reports for BBC Radio 3 iPlayer. If listening live, the SBT reports the stream format as AAC, but no mention of bitrate. If listening to one of the Radio3 Listen again streams it reports the format as jpg and the bitrate as 128k. I never identified jpg as even being an audio format! According to the BBC's web site, both the listen live and listen again streams are AAC at 320bps. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
Thanks for the reply. Which format settings are you interested in? I just ticked the iPlayer plugin in Squeezeserver, and it's been working perfectly except for this niggle of reporting the stream format as jpg rather than AAC and the 128k bit rate. The BBC isn't alone in getting their metadata wrong so if that's the issue, I won't worry about it.
