In Reply to: RE: Ping Cut Throat re: Spotify/Triode/Spotty Squeezebox/LMS Changes posted by Sibelius on July 23, 2017 at 11:24:42
Yup, Spotify Plugin is or will be dead very soon. So, the LMS worlwide developers have come up with another Plugin that uses Spotify Connect and removes the mysqueezebox.com link.Spotty is Great ! --- Probably more stable than the Spotify Plugin. I've got LMS running on my Synology NAS, which is so much faster than Windows... Some other folks that have NAS systems that Spotty won't run on are buying another RPi and installing LMS and Spotty there. That is what the developer Michael Herger from Switzerland is doing with his.
Here is what you should do...... Go for it!
"Once you've installed Spotty from the plugins repository, you can safely un-install all other Spotify related plugins (official plugin, Triode's 3rd party plugin, Spotify Protocol Handler), as well as remove the Spotify app from your mysqueezebox.com account. Then go to Settings/Advanced/Spotty and follow the instructions."

Thanks, guess I'll have to give it a try, it's just about all I listen to anymore so I'd hate to lose access.
I noticed it when I tried to access Spotify playlists, something I'd never tried to do before yesterday. That led me back to the forums and then I found out how far behind I was. So glad Michael is still helping the dinosaurs out.
Thanks for your reply.
Where do you have LMS running? And on what software? Version?

Seems to work. I'm running LMS 7.90 on my Macbook Pro to my Squeezebox Touch. Had some issues with the auto authentication, but manual seems to work. I think Sophos was blocking it so I whitelisted Spotty and now log in seems to work. Hope it is stable now.
I liked the old Triode format, but this Spotty plug in works pretty well, a little delay, but liveable. I can access the Spotify playlists now. I was trying to get to some rink music playlists for my daughter the figure skater when I found that things had changed. I miss "recently played", but I'll take it.
Glad I looked it up, I read some had received notification that Spotify was ending UE/SBT compatibility, I didn't and would have been high and dry without the forum. Guess I should make it a habit to visit every now and again.
Thanks for the push.
Here's the deal...... Michael is not done yet and has much more plans for updates......Keep updating the plugin and you will probably see features that the old ones did not have......
This Plugin is very new, so give it a little time.
