Nice improvements! I had disabled Spotty Ogg Vorbis because of the volume change from re-converting to PCM/FLAC. I've updated to this 4.5.0 and seeking is working very well. Thanks for this awesome Spotty plugin, Michael! Most of the work was done by Philippe!

How is this new support for Spotify Autoplay different from a player's "Don't Stop The Music" set to "Spotify Recommendations (based on the current playlist)", which has already been available for a while? Autoplay is working in Connect mode, DSTM in LMS mode.
