Thanks for any help you can provide. I ended up rebuilding the entire stack. It works now. I still suspect it was some kind of cache/corrupt file issue that the reinstall fixed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)
Hi Michael, Love the app. Have been using it for years! I am having a problem in that i can't connect to Spotify. I installed LMS 8 (and have tried this on 7.9). When I go into add the account, my account is already there. When I delete it, I get the sign in/up menu where you connect to spotify. I have tried this with and without entering my user name and password. What happens is that once I start playing something and go into devices to authorize and select max2play, LMS switches the screen back to the settings screen as if the connection has occurred, but spotify hangs on 'connecting' and the connection never occurs. I've tried this on my PC and phone. I've also reinstalled LMS and the plugin. Is there a cache for spotty that I can clear or set of files that I can clean up to start over? Even when reinstalling LMS, your plug in is there and if I take it out and reinstall, when I add the plugin, my account shows up so I suspect there is some kind of file corruption somewhere.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Band's Campout 1.7
Thanks Michael! LOL... I do own the album. It's my band! I'm a massive supporter of local music, hear you loud and clear and agree! Thanks for clearing up the bitrate limitations. I would actually stream a high a quality as I can get. I'm lucky enough to live in an area with gigabit service. I think most people wouldn't though and it'd be great if bandcamp would allow 256 or 320 but being able to connect is still an amazing thing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Band's Campout 1.7
Hi, First, I love this plugin! Next, crazy question. My band posted a .wav file on bandcamp. When I use this plugin, it says that it's streaming at 128kbps. Is there anyway to increase the quality of the stream? wmupchurch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108832 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty file formats - I'm a little confused
Thank you Michael. I think I understand, but just to make sure. It seems like Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis, but does not pass through the information needed to uncompress the file back to it's original form (I think that is possible; they just don't to it), therefore, when Spotty uncompresses the file, it does expand the 'container' to FLAC or PCM, however the 'container' is only partially full. Said another way, the pipe is FLAC or PCM, but the sound flowing through it is only 1/3 full (320 vs 1440, etc.). Or even another way, Spotify provides the music that is compressed to 320kbps and since they don't (but should!) send the information necessary to fully uncompress it, converting the music to FLAC or PCM means the format is different, but the quality is the same. If that's true, please let me know. Fascinating if so. wmupchurch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109380 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty file formats - I'm a little confused
Thank you Michael! So let me now ask a really crazy questions. It seems that Ogg Vorbis (lossy) compression can or cannot contain FLAC or PCM (lossless) music. If that's the case AND Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis in a way that FLAC and PCM information is 'contained', then when you un-compress the Spotify Ogg Vorbis steam to FLAC or PCM are you really providing better sound quality than Spotify itself? Is this some kind of back door way to finally get higher quality streams from Spotify? wmupchurch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109380 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty file formats - I'm a little confused
Hi, first of all thank you for Spotty! Now my confusion. If is disable FLAC, when I play songs I see this: 1411kbps CBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify) (Converted to PCM) When I enable FLAC, I see this: 705kbps CBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify) (Converted to FLAC) I though FLAC was the highest quality lossless option, but it is actually using less bandwidth. I guess I think the highest quality option would use the most? Or am I reading that wrong? Honestly I'm not exactly sure how it all works. Is this happening?> Spotify sends 320kbps Ogg Voris to LMS/Spotty, which converts it to PCM or FLAC depending on the options enabled in the file type settings? Is Spotty always transcoding? Does that potentially add coloration to the original signal? I'm using LMS with Max2Play with a HiFiBerry DAC and am looking to optimize audio in any place I can so my question is what is the highest quality option I can choose?
