Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify Connect

Can i stream from spotify on my PC, and choose my "squeezebox radio" on
my available spotify connect devices as a speaker?


Yes, Spotty has an option to expose Squeezeboxen as Connect speakers. 
YMMV... unfortunately it's a bit fragile, but mostly works.

No, I don't. I use digimaster's excellent QLMS environment. I don't know
much about what it does except for installing LMS and providing things
like Perl. It's a chroot thing, from what I understand.

If detection doesn't work, then there's already a problem - because 
authentication is using Connect. Run with plugin.spotty=info and check 
the log file.


You don't run LMS in Docker, do you?

No, adding a third player to Spotify Connect does not let the error
appear three times. But then again, the error is not always there. Maybe
next time.

I tested if Spotty works at all using Material and another, "not Spotify

other players to appear. :confused:

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify Connect: Players keep disappearing

2020-06-12 Thread dolodobendan


As the title says, players disappear after a day or so. Right now, I
have no idea how to make them available again. Here's what I did so
far:

  
- Uninstalled Spotty
- Stopped LMS
- Removed Cache/spotty.*, files and directory
- Removed prefs/plugin/spotty.prefs
- Restarted LMS
- Installed Spotty
- Manually added the Spotify account, as the detection did not work
- Enabled Spotify Connect for two players (both are connected via
  cable)
  

The players don't show in the Spotify App.

server.log is clean except that


Code:


  [20-06-12 15:50:30.5357] Slim::Control::Request::renderAsArray (2233) Error: 
request should set useIxHashes in Slim::Control::Request->new()
  [20-06-12 15:50:30.5363] Slim::Control::Request::renderAsArray (2233) 
Backtrace:
  



Which is there. Two times. I wonder...

That's great to hear. On a Windows 10 machine it's already working
really well, from what I can see. Search works. Cross-fade seems to
work. As well as playlists, favorites, the hardware remote. I haven't
found a thing that doesn't work :)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify-connect-web

2017-05-19 Thread d6jg

Back at Post 60 or thereabouts people were talking about having
individual Spotify accounts per player and playing multiple streams at
the same time.

Whether or not Spotty replaces SPH I would like to offer a practical
solution to the issue that I know works. Simply install multiple
instances of LMS on your network and point them at the same physical
library but configure each to use a different Spotify account and
different MySB.com accounts where the corresponding Spotify account is
also registered.

In my case the local library is on a NAS, each LMS instance is a
piCoreplayer which is also the player for its designated user (setup to
only connect to 127.0.0.1). Each user has access to the full library via
SMB mounts and their own Spotify. You can also use the "Remote Library"
feature if you don't want to mount the NAS to each Pi but then you don't
get the luxury of Michael's Dont Stop The Music / LastMix.

In addition I run a Vortexbox on a server class old PC as the "main"
server for my stuff. Its a Vortexbox as I like the convenience of the CD
ripper but it reads/writes direct to the same NAS via NFS.



*Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets
*Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 ->

*Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755

Just out of curiosity, what's different on Windows that we need another
way of authorizing than other platforms? (Don't bother to answer if you
think the answer we'll be too long or too technical, or just don't feel
the need to answer.)


librespot currently doesn't work on Windows at all, lack of some 
dependencies. Only by disabling all audio backends (which we don't need 
anyway) and the discovery mode I was able to get it working on this 
platform. But without discovery mode you can't authorize it using a 
Spotify application.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify-connect-web

2017-05-16 Thread TheLastMan

Just found this thread - yet again Mr Herger to the rescue!

Currently have two Duet's streaming to amplifier/speaker setups in
kitchen and living room. I am using my Squeezeboxes for:
1. Library of FLAC files from my Synology NAS (where LMS is installed)
2. BBC iPlayer Radio and
3. Spotify.  

As a Spotify "family" member I have 5 users here all with a lot invested
in Spotify so I would be loathe to lose it completely when Libspotify
goes.

Everybody here is quite happy with the Michael's current implementation
of the "official" LMS Spotify app combined with the Spotify protocol
handler, so if librespot can replace the SPH bit seamlessly then I will
be very happy.  Not bothered about the Spotify Connect thing - and not
sure what it adds over the official LMS system.

My fall-back position when  Libspotify goes is to put a Chromecast Audio
dongle on a second input into each amplifier, just for Spotify, but that
would require physically switching inputs.  Neither amp has a remote so
that would be less than ideal and would require the use of a phone app.
This family still mainly use the two Controllers for initiating existing
playlists and saved albums and it is usually a touch quicker, strangely,
than finding the phone, swiping, entering a PIN code and initiating the
app.

2017-05-13 Thread Michael Herger

Just a short question regarding the use of librespot:


As pippin mentioned, librespot doesn't any browsing (yet).


Does librespot support playlist folders? I have organized my spotify
playlists in various folders and I find it kind of annoying that the
current implementation of the squeezebox plugin lacks support of it.


IIRC it's a limitation in Spotify's API, not our implementation. We 
simply don't get that information back from them.



Will this be solved with librespot?


No.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify-connect-web

2017-05-13 Thread Michael Herger

With librespot you use the Spotify App for control.


Doesn't mean you have to. In the SB environment it's even much harder to 
use it in the Spotify Connect mode than just use it as the old protocol 
handlers: to play any Spotify track we have an ID for. This track based 
playback (using SB's existing UI) already is working pretty well here. 
But there are still quite a few issues in the librespot code, like eg. 
the dreaded "not available in your country" problem. Several of the "new 
stuff" etc. playlists would skip most of the tracks, while they'd be 
available using libspotify...


Another bug is currently rendering librespot useless as a Connect 
endpoint in the SB environment: the controller would start playback of 
the next track, as soon as the previous track's data has been 
transferred. In a system where you only have a second or two of buffers, 
you'd lose those few seconds at every end of a track. In a system like 
SB where you have much larger buffers, tracks would easily end 30-40s 
before the end. I run a test where I simply sent all audio data to 
/dev/null - Spotify would switch track within only a few seconds, as the 
data is written to the output at maximum download speed possible. I 
first thought it was an issue with the SB interaction, but somebody else 
is reporting the same with a more "normal" backend.


https://github.com/plietar/librespot/issues/175

The large buffers cause another UX issue: when you change track or 
volume, or pause playback in the Spotify application, it can take half a 
minute before the change reaches the SB. I played with some hook to have 
librespot tell LMS about the change. But with above issue pending, I 
haven't done too much in this direction.



Whatever it supports
will work, the whole playback is controlled by Logitech's servers.
If Michael can get librespot to work for local control, too (technically
Spotify Connect can support that) then it would work like today through
MySqueezebox.com because the browsing would still work through Spotify's
existing web API.


I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Whatever I come up with 
will require LMS to be run, no direct playing from mysb.com.



Librespot doesn't do any browsing


Correct. In its current form it's basically playback endpoint only. I 
think it has even very limited support for metadata handling.

2017-05-09 Thread Rheinl�nder

Now we're getting there :) 
I did some more tests. First of all, I had "Always use Helper
Application for Streaming" activated in the SPH settings of LMS.
Unchecking this option gave the following results:

My Setup for test#1: 

account#1 - boom
account#1 - duet
account#1 - SPH plugin
account#2 - radio1

Test results: Playback on the radio1 (account#2) and playback either on
the boom *or* the duet (account#1) in parallel *works*.
(Since firmware streaming on the radio1 (account#2) is used I was also
able of starting a stream on the boom (*or* the duet), which both use
account#1.

My Setup for test#2: 

account#1 - boom
account#2 - duet
account#1 - SPH plugin
account#2 - radio1

Test results: Playback on the duet (account#2) and playback on the boom
(account#1) do *NOT* work in parallel.
(I suppose since neither of the devices are capable of firmware
streaming, both devices receive their stream thru the SPH plugin, which
is allocated to account#1) Therefore spotify detects a parallel use of
account#1 and stops the stream.

I am running LMS on a Raspberry Pi2 (thru the use of max2play).

If you would like me to conduct further tests just let me know.

I think it makes sense: SB Radio/Touch can use idividual accounts. But 
all other players which depend on SPH or Triode's plugin share the same 
account, which likely is shared with one of the other devices, too.


What platform are you running your LMS on?

Thanks for your reply.
But the quoted settings are different than the first you described. Now
both old SBen are connect via SPH to the same account while the "new"
Radio uses #2.
Since a new SB doesn't need SPH, it seems logical that your new settings
work as intended.
I thought the SPH is the bottleneck. Could you please test if you can
use different accounts with the old SBen?

Unfortunately the latter doesn't work, because streaming thru the SPH
plugin also requires credentials for an account. Therefore spotify
detects that one account is used in parallel and stops the stream.

Here's the setup 

account#1 - boom
account#1 - duet
account#1 - SPH plugin
account#2 - radio1

After starting a stream on the radio1 (with account#2) I am not able to
start a stream on the boom or the duet in parallel, although two

When I am talking about a spotify account, I mean e.g. personal

only. When accessing spotify thru a SB device I would like to have
access to those account specific playlists and albums. 
I have setup LMS with the SPH plugin and entered the credentials of my

added the credentials of my _ first_, as well as of my _second_ spotify
account and in the spotify app tab on mysb.com I have associated these
two spotify accounts to my SB devices:

account#1 to the first and second radio, as well as the boom.
account#2 to the living room duet and the third radio,  

However, when accessing spotify on _any_ of the SB devices I can only
see the playlists and albums associated to account#1.

Am I doing something wrong, or does it only function that way?

I think you're talking about the Spotify Protocol Handler or Triodes

Unfortunately you are wrong. When installing the helper plugin one has
to enter spotify credentials for one account in the plugin's settings.
It is that particular account which is being used for all devices that
are connected to the LMS. Even though I have entered addtional accounts
on mysb.com and associated those to SB devices, I can only access the
playlists in the spotify account stored in LMS.
Maybe I am doing sonething wrong?


I don't really understand what's going on there. Because SPH doesn't 
deal with playlists. It only deals with tracks. But unless your accounts 
are in different countries with different usage rights, they shouldn't 
make any difference when it comes to playing a playlist, as all LMS 
would see is a list of tracks.


Maybe you an describe your setup, explain how you access those playlists 
etc.

Not quite. Although I'd like the idea of streaming to more devices at

to be able to access the playlists and albums that are associated to
each account.


Ok, understood. But that's not handled in the protocol handler, but on 
mysb.com. And there iirc you can add multiple accounts. You already 
should be able to browse different users' collections. Am I wrong there?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify-connect-web

2017-05-08 Thread Rheinl�nder

Not quite. Although I'd like the idea of streaming to more devices at
the same time from within the same account, I'd find it more important
to be able to access the playlists and albums that are associated to
each account.
Here's an example: I have a radio in the bedroom and would like to
listen to the playlists that are associated to my spotify account,
whereas my wife would like to have access to her account's playlists
with the duet in the living room.

Will that be possible with the solution you're implementing?

I have 3 radios, a boom and a duet with receiver in use. Running spotify
with your helper plugin only allows for one account to be allocated
within the settings of the SPH plugin. Since I have a spotify family
plan I would like to allocate each player a different account.


But you only need these because you wouldn't be allowed to stream to 
more than one device using the same credentials, right? If that 
limitation fell off, then there wouldn't be a need for multiple accounts 
for _playback_ any more.

I'm really happy that Spotify Connect might be coming to LMS. The lack
of it had me trying out alternatives on a RPi.


Might, yes... while it's somewhat working almost out of the box (using 
librespot), the UX is hopelessly poor so far.



@Michael: if there is anything we can help you out with, maybe a git
repo that we can look into and have a go at?


https://github.com/michaelherger/spotty - this is my helper application 
based on librespot.


https://github.com/michaelherger/librespot - my clone of librespot, with 
minor changes to fix compatibility with Windows and (optionally) not 
cache the audio data.


So... if you're into Rust, or willing and able to learn Rust, that would 
be of great help! What I'm looking for is some way for the helper app to 
talk to LMS (CLI or json/rpc), to report state changes in Spotify Connect.

TinyLMS is the "cut down" LMS that is running on a TOUCH.  Recall that
the TOUCH can run its own LMS and you can attach music files via the USB
port.  This was always a bit clunky as the Touch wasn't quite powerful
enough.  Once things like Pi's became available, no one even bothered
trying to make the TOUCH work as its own LMS server.

Yep, this is my take on the situation,


MoOde is used as a carrier, same as roonbridge and Volumio (which, I
think, started the reverse engineering thing with libspotify)

Mr Curtis has (reluctantly, I feel) stated that he will implement
spotify-connect when concerns he has about the initial volume setting at
start-up are addressed by the person doing the development work.

With a successful install of librespot,  it is run as service  from
start-up, one just pauses MoOde Player, wait for a second or so for
MoOde to be released and

then use a phone or something running Spotify to connect to the MoOde
device for playback.

To return to MoOde, just stop Spotify and by the time one has navigated
to the Web GUI, MoOde Player is ready.

Martin has described the procedure at this post

(http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pc-based/271811-moode-audio-player-raspberry-pi-756.html#post5066758)

Same as Ronnie, I'm using Librespot in Moode as well. Tim Curtis is not
supporting / integrated Librespot in Moode at this moment. Moode does
not display anything at this stage. No meta data, no album art. 

And to be honest, I don't care. The main reason why I use Librespot is
that my kids are used to the Spotify web UI and app and use this
interface only! Thats the main benefit for me.
It would be fine for me to have a simple implementation in LMS. Just a
notification in the LMS webui that Librespot is active would do. The
Spotify interface is leading when it comes to handling Spotify, at least
the way we use it in our home.

No. AFAICT Rust still depends on glibc - which we don't install on the 
Touch. But it wouldn't help anyway, as it'll need to be run from LMS. 
We'd have to update TinyLMS as well. Which requires a firmware update. 
But then we could fix it in firmware right away :-).



Of course a full integration into LMS would be even better :-)

Hi,

thanks for looking into this! 

Would it be possible to cross compile librespot to run directly on a
Squeezebox Touch? That way, we'd have a quick solution for either
playing music through LMS or alternatively use any Spotify Client to
connect to the Touch directly. 

I tried to run a precompiled version for PI/ARM from
https://github.com/herrernst/librespot/releases on my Touch, but that
didn't work. I guess that libraries are missing on the stripped down
Touch.

Of course a full integration into LMS would be even better :-)

I can't really with any developing stuff, but would be happy to test new
stuff as well.

I have been using Spotify-Connect (librespot) via MoOde Player for a

Like others, I have no developer skills but pretty good at "cut and

Mostly I run raspberry pi but do have a Windows 10 and 8.1 available for

Michael, great that you are looking into a SPH replacement.


I have some pressure from the family :-).


I prefer to have covers and metadata, even if this means no direct
access of Squeezeboxen over the native Spotify app as "Spotify Connect"
players.


I'm certainly not going to break this, as my kids don't have access to 
any smartphone or the like. But they can handle the SB's menu.



I hope to have some test version available soon.


Happy to test as well - I run LMS on Windows 10.


I have built for Linux ARM/i686/x86_64, MacOS, but not Windows yet. 
Hopefully this won't be too much of a hassle, as I'm no Rust developer 
either...


FWIW: I'm currently on track 35 of some Spotify playlist, playing on a 
Radio synced with a desktop Squeezeplay in "SB Mode". Looking good so 
far :-).

played using the libspotify (which is to be shut down later this year) 
built in to the player firmware and the SPH plugin, but a new 
implementation based on librespot. From the user's pov nothing obvious 
would change.



Since I am not a programmer I would be willing to help with software
testing...


I hope to have some test version available soon.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify-connect-web

2017-05-01 Thread Rheinl�nder

Michael,

first of all I would like to thank you for looking into the matter. The
possibility of integrating Spotify Connect into LMS sounds very
promising and implementing two modes will give users more flexibility.
On my part I am looking forward to the Spotify Connect integration,
which will replace streaming via bluetooth. How would the "LMS Control
Mode" be designed? Would one be able to control all of Spotify's
functions with the SB devices (like in the current plugin)? 
Since I am not a programmer I would be willing to help with software
testing...

Regards

Rheinländer

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify-connect-web

2017-04-30 Thread mherger

Ok, it's been a long time but I finally gave librespot a try. And
what shall I say? Its sample application does a whole lot of what we
would need for a simple Spotify Protocol Handler NG. I actually have a
POC implementation working where librespot would handle the streaming...

But integrating Spotify Connect with LMS comes with its own share of
complications. E.g. Imagine you're starting playback from Spotify's
application through Connect? Who's supposed to "own" playback control?
By default Spotify would, and the queue isn't visible to LMS. I can't
skip to the next track using any SB control. 

In reality we might end up with two modes: LMS control, or Spotify
Connect mode. The level of integration depends on the community, too:
until a few days ago I had zero knowledge of Rust, the programming
language used for librespot. I'm sure a seasoned Rust developer could
add some hooks to e.g. transfer at least some metadata from Connect to
LMS etc.

Thoughts? Volunteers?

Magicus - have you made any progress? I was wondering whether we could
have a librespot helper application pipe the audio data to LMS'
transcoding framework. Are you familiar with Rust?

Don't know if this is the connect you are talking about but i can
control all my devices from spotify because i have installed the airplay
plugin and all of the lms devices act as airplay devices. And spotify
can see them and control them...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify Connect on LMS - Proof of concept

2017-03-31 Thread mherger

I think your approach isn't totally wrong in its principles. It's just
not ready for prime time yet :-). We'd indeed need a wrapper application
around librespot, exposing control feature (play, queue, stop etc.) and
serving the data in a way we can consume in LMS. That's pretty much what
Triode had done for the existing implementation. Quite obviously there
should be more than just this, to eg. handle when somebody was
controlling it through the Spotify app etc. So... who's familiar with
Rust? Or willing and able to learn it?

Looks like something Logitech could apply for but is there room for it
in the Touch fw, or could it run on lms?


Logitech stopped production of the Touch years ago.

That said: even if that wasn't the case, integration wouldn't be easy. 
Eg. using Spotify Connect the only available control is Spotify's own 
apps. You couldn't use LMS to control Spotify playback. It's either, or, 
but no combination of both.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify connect

Now that the guys at Sonos have proudly announced that Spotify connect
is incorporated, I was wondering if somebody out here is working on that
for LMS. Should be great having, seeing the quick alterations of the
spotify app.

I have been waiting two weeks now for a spotify api key to try this

https://github.com/Fornoth/spotify-connect-web

which I believe is possible with Moode (although the guide I am
following is for Volumio).

Not a flicker of a response from Spotify, they are just not
interested.:confused::(:rolleyes:

Be happy that there is an implementation of Spotify in LMS, if your user
case requires a different approach then move on to something that suits.

Have you tried the installation of any of these spotify connect web 
plugins during the last months. I've tried and all those plugins 
require a spotify api key for developpers, but spotify does not longer 
offer such a key.

Also all those plugins are based on libspotify, a libary which is not 
developped and maintained any longer.

I use the spotify app on my iOS device and stream music to my 
squeezeboxes via AirPlay. For Android some kind of UPMP plugin 
/extension might work. Why not using that kind of setup?

Developing a spotify connect web pluging currently makes no sense.
Nobody knows what will happen when libspotify can't be used any 
more...

Recently I saw many plugin that are able to redirect sound into a pipe
which can be readed by a squeezebox.
For example there are these plugins :
- shairtunes , shairtunes2  and shairtunes2 fork
- youtube
- waveinput

To implement spotify connect it's you can use the sources that I give or
you can control the classic spotify client software by command line
('there are plenty of examples'
(https://gist.github.com/wandernauta/6800547)). If it's a problem to
redirect the sound like in shairtunes you can use 'DSbridge'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?64590-DSBridge-A-simpler-way-to-stream-Spotify)
to create a stream easily playable on squeezebox.

By the way, when I say "It's not very complex." I mean : "How to install
on raspberry here " -> "It's not very complex.".

So it's probably a little project to make it works on squeezebox but all
the elements are available to make it work and I think that some people
of the squeezebox community are able to do this (not me, I'm a pretty
bad developper :p).
