Working for me except that i can't connect to spotify.
I think it's because i have a facebook spotify account anyone can help me with that ?

I had this problem, and the solution was to get a device username and password. If you have a premium account, you can do that here:

Hi guys!

Have been using XBMC for a year and have so far managed to buy three new computers and set it up a bit everywhere.

I use the margro pvr built so I can see live tv. The question is - can I somehow add the spotify functionality without removing the pvr build?

Tried all sorts of things, any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Win 7 64 bits.
Margro Eden Pvr build.

You can use this git repo.It's a merge between pvr & spotyxbxmc2

Got this running on Openelec. Fantastic work Akezeke!

Tarantin0 · 2012-02-19 14:36

Will this be added as a plugin in any time soon`? Most say I love it, but for me, a non "geek", it's a bit hard to get it working on the latest version of XBMC. Tested the Beta1 with Spotify slipped in. Nice stuff.

Thank you so much Akezeke for developing this! Great job.

I will post the downloads as soon as they are available.

Fairtekservices, Has there been an update for the Mac version? I'd be willing to test for you if necessary Smile
