lordmozilla Wrote:No, you have to download the sources and compile yourself. It's really not that hard though, you should try it!

soder Wrote:But can I compile only the "executable" file? (I don't really don't understand much about linux")

I am satisfied with the SVN as it is, but I would like to try this Spotify version of beta 4, without fucking up what I have now.

Can I just compile that "file"?

lordmozilla Wrote:if you follow the instructions on my blog, notice there is no 'make install'. So you can just run xbmc from that folder.

You do have to compile all of XBMC though, but you dont have to install to /usr/bin/xbmc. So it wont erase what you currently have. For example i've left mine in /home/brendan/xbmc-spotify and just symlink xbmc.bin in that directory to /usr/bin/xbmc-spotify

alex84 Wrote:Thanks for the effort mate. Correct me if im wrong. If i ditch my live install to archlinux or other working lite dist i can download xbmc source code, install libspotify 0.3 and than patch the xbmc source with you diff and compile my way in to music haven? =)

Need to lock myself in this weekend to make this work

lordmozilla Wrote:Incidentally i'll probably fix it and make a version for dharma stable when that comes out however I dont think i'll do one for all the RC's etc...

moogen Wrote:I did the spotyxbmc integration based on lordmozilla list and got it running!
I have one problem though, when I try to go into spotify playlists xbmc always crashes and the crashlog doesn't seem to have anything interesting.
It seems to be able to get something from spotify but after that it just dies.

Does anyone have the same problem?

lordmozilla Wrote:I don't know what to tell you. It works fine for me on dharma4 + meego. What OS are you using and what version of libspotify are you running?

moogen Wrote:I'm using the Dharma Beta 4 Live installed to harddrive with libspotify 0.0.3. All the other spotify features work just fine, like search, top lists etc. but my personal playlists crash the xbmc every time. I'll try to rename some of my playlists which have scandinavic characters (äö) in them to have only ascii characters and see if that makes any difference but somehow I doubt it.

Anyhow with the search and add to library functions I'm not missing much, really glad XBMC + Spotify finally works, even though it's not quite plug-and-play
