I've been using Spotty for a long time and loving it. Thanks again Michael for all of your work. Here are a couple things I have noticed, which are likely known limitations, but just wanted to list them here to see if there is a plan to fix them at some point. These issues are causing me pain

I already posted about this a few pages back, but I didn't see any response. Is anyone else seeing the issue where if you start playing music from the Spotify Android App (or Windows App), and then pause and then play in the LMS Web UI, that the Spotify Android App status does not update as

Michael, I have just noticed an issue with the Connect feature. This may have existed in previous versions, I'm not sure. I'm running Spotty 2.1.1 and LMS 7.9.1 on a Synology DS414. FYI it appears to now be necessary for me to enable "Don't announce Squeezebox players" in the Advanced settings

Michael, Things have been much more stable for me in the last few releases (Synology DS414, LMS 7.9.1). Today I just noticed something a little weird when I tried to start playing music from the Spotify App on my phone, nothing played on the Squeezebox. I noticed the squeezebox player was

I haven't tested this much yet, but I was able to use Google Assistant on my phone to issue a voice command to Spotify and have the song play on my squeezebox! Spotify added the Google Assistant ability a few weeks ago. You need to link Spotify in the Google Assistant settings, and set Spotify
