Im sorry for the incredibly stupid question, as I'm pretty new to this.

I have XBMClive Camelot. Is there a guide or HOW-TO to help me add this superb function?

Yeah, running Camelot on Karmic as well´n really looking forward to have a simple HOW-TO guide for this.

I tried following these steps:

And now my XBMClive wont autologin. It boots, and stops when asking for username and pass.

I have no idea what to do.. Will probably have to reinstall. Fu*k.

I tried it last night, but somehow screwed up my Nvidia driver.

Random I know...

Hehe, it seems we're in the same boat BouncinDave. Not necessarily the exact same boat - but at least in the same ocean.

I sure hope a HOW TO will come soon. I've started reinstalling. I have no linux skills at all - so troubleshooting is just a waste of time.

I hade the same problem but i followed the readme in the file.
Thought i fucked it up totally when it stopped with asking for login.

I thought i could try playing around before i reinstalled it.
I copied the files from the lib directory from libspotify-0.0.3-linux6-i686.tar.gz into the lib directory of xbmclive.
Then i changed the file attributs on xbmc.bin to 777

Also the xbmc.bin was not located where it said in the readme, it was in /usr/share/xbmc

Now it's working like a charm. Don't know what did the trick because i'm a total linux noob.
Hope this will help somebody.

Thanks for trying to explain. But I'm done reinstalling now. Just have to configure the remote.

Will wait for someone to write a howto.

How to install SpotyXBMC on XBMClive 9.11 32bit.
Update: GMT+1 15:54: I've gotten time to properly test it, and it's an amazing plugin/app. No bugs encountered so far.

1. Boot your XBMC computer, and log on to it’s terminal. I used putty:
Login with your username and password, should be user: xbmc pass: xbmc

2. Start by downloading the archives you need:
Code:
sudo wget http://developer.spotify.com/download/libspotify/libspotify-0.0.3-linux6-i686.tar.gz
sudo wget http://cloud.github.com/downloads/akezeke/spotyxbmc/alpha009_ubuntu32.tar.gz

3. Unpack the archives:
tar zxvf libspotify-0.0.3-linux6-i686.tar.gz
tar zxvf alpha009_ubuntu32.tar.gz

4. Install libspotify:
cd libspotify-0.0.3-linux6-i686
sudo make install prefix=/usr/

When install is complete, type command “cd ..” and press enter.

5. Copy the Spotify logo to the correct folder:
sudo cp spotify_core_logo.png /usr/share/xbmc/media/

6. Create advancedsettings.xml:
sudo nano advancedsettings.xml

When the file editor opens, paste the following text (remember to change user/pass):

<advancedsettings>
<spotify>
<enable>true</enable>
<username>your user name</username>
<password>your password</password>
<cachefolder>~/.xbmc/spotifytemp/</cachefolder>
<maxsearchartists>30</maxsearchartists>
<maxsearchalbums>30</maxsearchalbums>
<maxsearchtracks>150</maxsearchtracks>
</spotify>
</advancedsettings>

Once you have pasted, press CTRL+O to write the changes, and then CTRL+X to close the file.

7. Copy the advancedsettings.xml file to the correct folder:
cp advancedsettings.xml /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/



8. Rename xbmc.bin from the alpha009 archive, and copy it to the right folder:
sudo mv xbmc.bin xbmcnew.bin
sudo cp xbmcnew.bin /usr/share/xbmc/

9. Rename original xbmc.bin to something else, so that we can use the new bin we just moved:
cd /usr/share/xbmc/

Type command “ls” just to check if old .bin and new .bin is there, it should look like this:
Image
(Click for larger image)

If both files are there, proceed.

10. Rename the original xbmc.bin:
sudo mv xbmc.bin xbmcold.bin

11. Replace with modified bin from Alpha009 archive:
sudo mv xbmcnew.bin xbmc.bin
sudo chmod +x xbmc.bin


When that is done, you would want to reboot the machine.
sudo reboot

After the reboot, just go to music -> library. And select spotify.

NOTE: The "library" option did not show up on my computer. That's because I didn't have a music library. Added some albums to a share, set content - and voilà. I could select library and spotify from the music menu.


Hope this guide is useful to you! :-)

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.

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