I’m trying to use the spotify connect plugin (from https://www.max2play.com/en/portfolio/plugin-spotify-connect-2/) but it is not working for me. I can see the device in my spotify app and select it, but once it starts to play, it disconnects again. I took a verbose log (added -v to the options) from /tmp/spotifyconnect.txt, which shows a traceback, see below. I did not configure authentication credentials in the max2play UI, since I think this should be handled through spotifyconnect discovery automatically, right?
From that, I see that the librespot version in the plugin is fairly old (the debug output shows 2019-06-01), so I wonder if the Spotify API changed server-side and this old librespot version does not cope with that? And the old version makes me wonder if the spotify connect plugin is still being updated.
I tried building the latest librespot from git, but that failed because the cargo/rust version in buster was too old (though I read current git is 0.5.0-dev and a big refactor, so I tried 0.4.2 which also failed on a dependency that needs newer cargo, and then tried 0.4.0 from three months ago which failed with an error about matches_macro, which probably needs to be fixed using a newer rust version…). I guess all of this would be fixed by compiling on Debian stable (bullseye), but max2play still uses oldstable and I did not want to risk upgrading the system.
I know that Spotify is also supported through squeezebox (and I already had that working), but I recall from using max2play a few years ago, that there were some downsides to using it through squeezebox, so I would prefer to (also) have the regular Spotify Connect plugin working.
Below is the verbose log, anyone recognize this?

23. August 2022 at 10:36 #52359Dear matthijskooijman,
Thank you for the detailed report. Our Spotify Connect version only works if you enter your Spotify Premium login in the plugin and then start the service. We will see if we can offer an update of the service. However, I cannot guarantee that this will be an option for us and that we will implement it soon.
23. August 2022 at 13:36 #52361Thanks for your response. I was under the impression that the authentication part of the process worked fine, since I could select the player in the Spotify app as expected and the log does say „authenticated as“. But maybe I also need to fill in details, I can try that.
Note that I have been working with the squeezeserver spotty plugin, which has been working fine so far, so this is not a blocking issue for me anymore. Maybe the downsides I remember from years ago are fixed there (or maybe the downside was that it was a bit tricky to switch between synchronized and non-synchronized playback, but I solved this nicely with multisqueeze to run two squeeze clients using the same audio device, one synchronized with other players and one independent).
25. August 2022 at 12:22 #52364If you try Spotify Connect again, let me know if it works. Apart from that, the Spotty plugin is always a good alternative and is in no way inferior to the Spotify Connect plugin.
25. August 2022 at 14:43 #52365I checked, and indeed, if I just enter my username/password, librespot works as expected. Thanks!
