Thanks!
Mikel fixed this in dependent library (pyspotify-ctypes) so we'll test in the upcoming release.

Ok, great! Do you know when the next version is released?

To fix this I'll need to just update pyspotify-ctypes and repackage. Most likely I'll launch patch release this week.

Then, I'm going to launch a bigger release with some of the demanded features in a few weeks. That's the plan.

2 Questions

- Why isnt it possible to use with a free spotify account? Since we can use it for free
- Does this mean, when i got to main menu xbmc, then chose music, then artist, i see al list of artist (with thumbs) ?
The same for albums (i see a list with coverart)
If so how is it populated? (only with starred albums/tracks or smth else?

Shank,

1. libspotify library (that comes from Spotify) is used under the hood. This library only works with Premium accounts. I guess Spotify uses this limitation to avoid playback on mobile or other than desktop devices without Premium. Otherwise, alternative apps would emerge that could be run on mobile with Free accounts.

2. I'm not sure if I understand this question. To access plugin you need to go to Music -> Music Add-ons -> Spotlight. Going to Music -> Albums / Artists means navigating through built-in menu and it will browse your defined music sources. Coverarts and thumbnails are downloaded using a configured scrapper. With Spotlight it is a little bit different because Coverarts and thumbnails come from the Spotify service.

The problem is still there, same error messages. I made a clean re-install and rebooted xbmc first, but the error persists.

[arcticspace]

This is a part of the log-file where I find exceptions.
Tried to go to xbmclogs.com but it seems to be down at the moment.

Edit: then use pastebin.

It's another type of error so we are moving on. It seems that it cannot set up a local server because it doesn't recognize name "localhost". Could you please try to edit files:

spotlight/service/Server.py (line 70):
and replace "localhost" with "127.0.0.1"

spotlight/ui/Navigation.py (line 32):
and replace 'http://localhost:%d' with 'http://127.0.0.1:%d'

Restart XBMC after those changes. i hope this is it.

I would really like to se album view in starred and not only all songs/artis in a long list.

[providers]

Great plugin,
I have one issue, if i play the music in "full screen" then I only have sound for the first 10 sec, after that no sound
when the next song starts, then I again have sound for 10 sec and it mutes again.

If I play music directly from my HDD then everything works.
Im using latest nightly build of xbmc, does any body have same problem?

-----------------------------------------------------------
Start Spotlight
Start playing a album
Goto full screen (Where you see lyric)
Goto next song
let it play
----------------------------------------------------------

Best regards
Providers

I think I have observed something similar in the past. Could you just test disabling the lyrics?

I would really like to se album view in starred and not only all songs/artis in a long list.

As far as I know you can star only tracks and Spotify app shows the list of starred tracks only. However, what I can do is to add grouping feature so once you enter 'Starred' you will see categories: Artists, Albums, All Tracks. Then you can drill down into these categories. Is this something you are looking for?

[Jönke]

I´was using http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=67012 a month back and my starred album/tracks was found also in album view.
Se this video starting at 0:16 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFSdxKyWXpU
So some sort of album view would be nice

Any idea how to solve this error, when trying to access Starred on a Raspberry pi ? (works on my htpc)
