[WIP] XBMC + Spotify = True (an XBMC implementation that uses Spotify's official API)

Sveen Wrote:n00bquestion: Do I have to apply for a key in the link in the readme? Can't find "c-code" anywhere on the site...

I was able to go to http://developer.spotify.com, log in with my Spotify (premium) username/password, click "libspotify" in the top navigation, find "application key" (also in the top navigation) and then click c-code. Copy/paste this code into a text file and save as appkey.h, and you should be good to go.

It's been awhile since I've done this, and can't remember fully, but you may need to sign up for a developer's account. I'm sure others on this thread can confirm that.

Best of luck!

This is what I see: http://bildr.no/view/1126424

And what happens after you applied?

/D

Haven't tried that yet, thought it seemed unlikley since I see others here just get it right off the page, but I'll try now.

Edit: Haha, feel kinda stupid, justed typed in something and got the c-code link right away

Sometimes experience is the best teacher Glad you got it figured out!

Following your guide Gr8rtek I have a problem in the build in Visual C++, I don't know where to look for a log file, so I've pasted everything in the Output window to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/X6nBtpwA

Don't know if you are stuck on the same part as where I was stuck, but I couldn't compile it either. And the official XBMC source compiled fine. First time I tried this, so everything is new to me

After trying to build it, I got 1 failure:
Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 35 up-to-date, 0 skipped

Checking the output log further, I saw this line:
..\..\xbmc\Application.cpp(4835): error C3861: 'sleep': identifier not found
On line 4835 in xbmc\Application.cpp, there is a sleep(1);
Looking around in the file, every other sleep(); is called via Sleep(); and not sleep();

So I changed sleep(1); to Sleep(1); and it builds without errors.
I'm just an user, not a developer, so it could be a wrong fix, but so far it seems to work. Got myself a nice fresh XBMC build with Spotify support!

Thank you worked like a charm

Running the BuildSetup.bat I get asked if I want to compile a new exe or update an existing one. Which is right?

I got an error trying to compile against the latest "pull", which compiled fine previously (Beta 3), so it may be something Akezeke changed on his end. I rebuilt my dev machine yesterday and am still putting my dev environment back together. I will try another compile and see if it succeeds, or if it doesn't try to look for the change you listed above.

Either is correct, depending on whether you want to create a new installer file or make changes to an installer file you have already created. I just make a new file, which makes it easier to go back to a previous version if I encounter errors.

Hi there

Awsome addon, does it support iOS (ATV2) yet?
