Yes, on windows7 64 and ubuntu 11.04 64.

That would be great if you could find why this is happening.

I can see my Spotify playlists but when I open them they are empty. I don't know whether anyone else has this problem.

That also happens to me, I need to restart XBMC 1-2 times and then it is working again.

Thanks a lot for this spotify integration! I love it except that it is the same for me, playlists appear but are blanks, no tracks.

I am also not sure about something. It's possible to add a spotify album to your xbmc library. I love this functionality but I am affraid that I would lost everything after performing a clean library. Is there a way to avoid those albums to disapear?

- akezeke - 2011-06-30 22:30

The playlist issue is weird, obviously I have done something wrong but I just don't get it, spotify is reporting the playlists to be loaded but sometimes they are not anyway... I will dig deeper in to this the next couple of days.

@neoflex
That is a known issue, I tried to solve it once but I will take a look at the clean library code again and see if I can exclude spotify albums from removal. shouldn't be that hard.

@neoflex
Fixed the issue with library clean. Now the spotify albums stays!

I also moved all the settings away from advancedsettings and into the addon!

@akezeke:
Thumbs up! Great work!

I do not currently have a XBMC setup (in the process of moving) but I'm thinking about getting a Apple TV with XBMC.
Will this work?
And is the installation procedure the same as with XBMC Live/Ubuntu?

thanks a lot! that's great!
do you had any idea about the empty playlists problem? do you think it comes from a bug within the libspotify?

@Akezeke: Could you add new builds to https://github.com/akezeke/spotyxbmc/downloads?

Also have you tried this for ATV2? I would very much like a ATV2 build but I don't own a mac so I can't build it myself. :/

Hi

Could someone maby write a step by step how to install from minimal ubuntu to finnished install with drivers and autostarting xbmc.

I managed to compile it but never start it, it just booted the normal xbmc, and not the spotify one.
