I had been running LMS on a windows server & had very little trouble but decided to upgrade to newer NAS. And I installed LMS on a virtual Linux machine on the NAS. It worked pretty well but kept reading how it was better to run it on a Raspberry. So I got a Pi3 & with Max2Play was able to get it up and running in no time. It's such a good interface that I bought a license though you can install for free LMS & a player on the same Pi. Spotify was reputed to having trouble on the QNAP NAS but I never really had that much trouble with it. I don't know what might be causing you troubles but a lot of times with Spotify it's the firewall on the machine and I read you have looked at that. Recently I have been having trouble with Spotify in getting playlists to load with Triode's plugin, just takes forever. So I changed to the stock & Protocal Handler and it gave me such grief (couldn't find my playlists & the GUI was not loading) I went back to Triode's plugin and apart from playlists taking forever to load it's working. SO if no else gives you better advice I recommend trying an LMS install on your PI. Max2Play makes it a breeze. You might read about the future of Spotify with LMS. I was able to install Google music with Max2Play but prefer Spotify for now.
