If you need to browse trough, LMS plugin is a valid alternative as skirkwood points out.

Since ETA in both options will not be until a month (at least), in the meantime I encourage everyone to use Spotify Connect plugin.

#LOGITECH MEDIA SERVER SPOTIFY HOW TO#

While we have some ideas on how to restore this functionality, it’s not certain that we will be able to do it: when we have to integrate with third party APIs, we need to rely on those APIs to be accessible and actually working, which is not always the case.

If in the short term there is no community developer to help, the core Volumio team will hand-over this plugin maintenance.

Enquire quickly some plugins developers to see if they want to jump in and help fix this (volunteers welcomed, please PM me if interested).

Long story short, our plan to solve this is: Unfortunately as of now, no community developer has found the time to make that happen. In fact, it’s a lot of time that we discuss with the closest community members developers a merge between librespot playback and spotify plugin to unify the Spotify experience in 1 plugin instead of two. The situation is exactly as Skirkwood described: we use a mix of Spotify Web API (for browsing) and SPOPD daemon for playback (which is the failing part now, since libspotify has been suddenly deprecated). Thanks to all of you who contributed to this thread, both with developer’s suggestions and with comments. Since Michael’s Spotty plug-in is open-source, you can probably use it as a starting point. I believe that which Spotify being a major draw to Volumio - both free and paid versions, it makes sense for the Volumio team to move the Spotify into the core Volumio distribution and maintain and support it. The Drupal core team decides on a release by release basis which community-contributed modules should be committed to Drupal core, and maintained by the Drupal core team. I used to work a lot with the open-source Drupal system, as well as working as a Sales Engineer at Acquia, which provides commercial support for Drupal. I just verified the LMS Spotty plug-in is still working, as it did not use Libspotify. I have numerous Raspberry Pis and DACs, some running Volumio, some piCorePlayer with the LMS and Squeezelite. I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t verify that.

So since there is an LMS plugin for Volumio, in principle people can install it, the Spotty plug-in into it, and you should be back in business. He also does some other very clever things, like infers Spotify folder structures whereas the Spotify Web API doesn’t support folders. But the way he does this makes Spotify completely integrated in the LMS UI. He therefore exposes the LMS as a Spotify Connect client. He is using Librespot, which does not depend upon Libspotify. One approach worth looking at is how Michael Herger, the Swiss-based Logitech engineer who single-handedly maintains the Logitech Media Server, created his Spotty plug-in for the LMS: GitHub - michaelherger/Spotty-Plugin: A Spotify plugin for the Logitech Media Server and Squeezebox Libspotify was deprecated back in 2017 by Spotify, so we knew this day would be coming. I believe the reason the Spotify plug-in is failing is because it relies on the SPOP deamon, a C program that uses Libspotify.

I was taking time off between gigs, but back in the thick of it working in Enterprise software sales now. Hi All, I overhauled the current Volumio Spotify plug-in many years ago as a way of learning how to develop with Node.js.
