  1. Install
  2. Start up XBMC
  3. Go to Music > Add-Ons > spotyXBMC
  4. Configure the spotyXBMC Add-On (Spotify Username and Password)
  5. Restart XBMC
  6. Enjoy! Smile

Norton says it contains this "Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP"
False positive?
Any one else?

Hi,

I have a strange problem.

I am running Eden beta 3 on my Asrock ION 330.

Before installing this Spotify implementation, everything works perfectly.

I manage to install Spotify fine, everything works as advertised and my playlists all work etc etc, however all video playback is now very very choppy.
It is like it halfed my machine's power, and sometimes it feels like watching something in 2-3 frames per second.

I tried reinstalling XBMC, and things are fine again, but as soon as I install this Spotify solution on top of it, the choppiness comes back.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Does anyone else have problems with crazy cpu-usage?
I just updated and recompiled, and suddenly xbmc uses most of the cpu, even when idle.
If I disable spotyxbmc everything is normal.

I got three letters for you: WOW!
I recently left Spotify for iTunes Match but was really dissapointed after working with it for weeks.
Since I'm a long time XBMC user and a sucker for music I really think XBMC & Spotify is the ultimate combination for me.
I just (5 mins. ago) reactivated my Spotify subscription and installed this custom build of XBMC: http://www.fairtekservices.com/downloads..._Beta1.exe
Works like a charm, thanks guys!

Like the guy above: "Anyone fancy building an RC2 version" or are you waiting for the real deal?
