    Hi,

    I’m unable to get spotify to play any music…

    I’m running a raspi 2 with the Amp+ HiFiBerry module. I’ve installed the HifiBerry image and configured the Squeezebox server. I can access the server and play internet radio without a problem. I’ve uninstalled the official spotify plugin and installed Triodes version (and restarted several times).

    I can see my playlists etc. but when I go to play it tries for a second (with no sound) and stops. On the LMS settings page I’ve run the self test:
    Helper App Running – Pass
    Logged In – Pass
    Spotify Metadata OK – Pass
    Streaming from Spotify – Pass (Although I hear no music during this test)
    Unable to Authenticate Player – Fail
    Helper app unable to authenticate player (error: -5)

    Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?!

    Thanks!

    I’ve been doing a lot of googling around but no luck yet. I’ve found this message repeats a lot in the Sqeezebox Server Debug info:

    Plugins::Spotify::ProtocolHandler::handleDirectError (366) stream failed – bad player: -5

    That message led me to this discussion:

    Where they talk about changing the CLI port which I tried without success. They also talk about some other things but it goes above my head!

    Fixed!

    After lots of messing around I’ve managed to get spotify running! I’m not 100% sure what it was but I think it was unchecking the „Set fixed LAN IP-Address“ in the Wifi/LAN settings. Not sure when/why I checked it in the first place!

    Hi qu1ckdry,
    Great news! The triode Spotify plugin usually works from the start, I’ve made a small How-To on setting it up, in case have not seen it yet: https://www.max2play.com/en/how-tos/howto-spotify/
