Hi
I have been trying to create a Python-addon for spotify, but I'm having some issues I would like some help with.
My approach is to stream Spotify music from the library examples through a web server. Then the addon just reads the stream from the local web server.
What I have done is to hack the two examples, making one of them give the top list as text and the other one the stream itself.
Then a simple php script runs the applications using passthru.
The addon can then run the applications through the web-server, and is able to browse the top list and play music from this.
I see this approach is not ideal, but it's the best I can come up with. The main issue is stability, and I hope someone can help me with improving this.
You can download the code from http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-spotify-python/downloads and test for yourself. Instuctions is found in the README.
