Spotify support for Phoniebox
With the integration of #2315 in Version v2.7.0, Spotify will be usable again :tada:. The implementation is based on the prerelease package of Mopidy-Spotify (5.0.0a3). From the description there are currently not supported functions in this package. Please see there website for further details.
Mopidy-Spotify currently has no support for the following:
- Seeking
- Gapless playback
- Volume normalization
- Saving items to My Music - possible via web API
- Podcasts - unavailable
- Radio - unavailable
- Spotify Connect - unavailable
This document is a MUST read for all users of the +Spotify Edition
(If you have new information on using Spotify with Phoniebox, please create a ticket)
If you want to integrate Spotify:
- You must have A Spotify Premium subscription. Mopidy-Spotify will not work with Spotify Free, just Spotify Premium.
- Before starting Mopidy, you must visit https://mopidy.com/ext/spotify/#authentication to authorize this extension against your Spotify account:
[spotify] client_id = ... client_id value you got from mopidy.com ... client_secret = ... client_secret value you got from mopidy.com ...
- MP3 (local music) handling has completely changed for the +Spotify Edition. The tracks need to be indexed by Mopidy & Mopidy-Spotify (this is the part of Phoniebox, which gives you spotify support) and the created M3U files do have another structure than normal M3U files.
- You have to scan your library every time you upload new local tracks to your Phoniebox (without restart).
- You can scan local files under "Folders & Files" (Top Navigation).
- For the future we try to integrate automation for that.
- Some users have reported a bug where Spotify wouldn't start playing the very first time. When this occurs to you, check out this post #1758 to approach the problem.
