No problem. But, like I said. There are no guarantees. Trying to find these steps, and piece them together has cost me a few hours and two reinstalls. So I hope I'm able to help someone with this :-)

Bad news guys.

I think it's installed properly. But it does not show up in the menu, like it's supposed to.

Trying to figure it out now.

Update: Check my original guide. It was a goof by me. I did not have music library enabled.
This is no longer a problem.

There are screenshots of spotyxbmc running on windows but no readme or much talk about it in this thread, is it at all available yet?

Got it running also, but videos randomly crash after using their precompiled binary.
and i get an strange compile error on paplayer when compiling my self.

But since this is an alpha im going to wait, but spotify interface worked greate tough

You wont get it on windows as there isn't an API that lets you play music via 3rd party API yet.

I really wish this was applied as any other script/plugin to xbmc..
As it is now when replacing xbmc.bin and you are used to regularly update to latest svn of xbmc, it needs to modify the bin file, therefor its not working 100% with the latest changes.

They actually released the source code, this is something they are also required to do Smile So its not such a big deal

Hopefully down the line it will go into the main branch ?

I can confirm that GazWest's guide works perfectly.

Thanks! Big Grin

Found a bug: try hitting play on a playlist.. 100% CPU. Music keeps playing though, but GUI is unresponsive.

When trying to view toplists, nothing shows up, is that a bug/error on my side/not implemented yet?
