Did you create your own Spotify Client ID? Yes. It is all pretty weird. I definitely managed to see my Spotify account available through LMS. Don't know I managed that because I kept seeing the "Authorisation fail" message all the time, but I clearly manage to get it working eventually. There is still something strange. My Spotify client on my phone and on my Mac is not visually in sync with what is being played. If I play song A on the Spotify client, LMS will be playing song A-1. If I then go to LMS, I see song A-1 is being played, and the progress bar is in sync with what part of the song is being played. I looked around and saw this option available in the plugging settings section Code: Optimize Pre-Buffering - only enable if your Spotify application seems to be tracks ahead of Spotty playback in Connect mode. this however does not fix the issue.

It looks like something has happened in the background because I do see now the Spotify Connect option on my Spotify client. This is strange as I have not changed anything. The only thing I've done differently is accidentally used Spotify on a Windows PC that allowed me to initiate an Authorisation process, that I believe ended up failing. Also, if I now go to LMS I'm able to use Spotify directly there. There is for sure something I'm not being able to grasp... There is now a weird behaviour whereby Spotify on my iPhone running Spotify Connect, is not in full sync with the song that is being played. Not sure if I will be able to properly describe what I've seen today. Say my Spotify client on my iPhone says song X is being played using Spotify Connect. Well, the song being played is actually X+1 but the iPhone client displays one song right before. If I now go to LMS, what is shown there is in sync with what is being played back; LMS is in sync, whereas Spotify Connect is not. If I skip one song, then the iPhone client is not catching up with what is being played back; it always seems to be one song behind... weird stuff, I know.. does this resonate if only a little? thanks! kitus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=73121 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112254 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I haven't done much of technical work in the last 15 years. I wouldn't expect for me to need to setup any sort of forwarding rules because, as you very well say, home networks have a deny all incoming network traffic unless previously initiated from within the network. I tried forwarding port TCP4070 just in case for some reason Spotify would challenge back my connection attempt using a different protocol/port from within the network. Pretty much like FTP.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify: authentication with Spotty failure
Hello @mherger, I set up LMS a few weeks back and I have not managed to either get Spotify Connect up and running, despite having the option "Enable Spotify Connect endpoint for this player" enabled. Additionally, when I try to log into Spotify from LMS directly, I see the error message that others have shared here "Authorisation failed". I'm running LMS on PiCorePlayer, which means that I'm not running any sort of Docker environment, with complex networking. I tried forwarding port TCP 4070 to no avail either. This is the information that I see on the server log file: Code: root@pCP:/var/log/slimserver# cat server.log [22-11-01 18:30:34.0625] main::init (390) Starting Logitech Media Server (v8.2.0, 1627922070, Tue Aug 3 11:43:18 CEST 2021) perl 5.032001 - arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int [22-11-01 21:54:08.0072] Plugins::Spotty::Settings::Auth::handler (83) Authorization failed: [22-11-01 21:54:52.3688] Plugins::Spotty::Settings::Auth::handler (83) Authorization failed: I'm going to see if I can increase the log verbosity (I would swear I saw a post on this) but if you could help me figure out why Spotify Connect is not working to start with, I would be very very thankful.
