Spotify Connect autostart

Lazerharp

Hi,

I have successfully installed Spotify Connect on my PI 3 with IQAudIOs PI-DAC+ and the latest version of Runeaudio. Running excellent with the built in WiFi.

I have used this guide for Volumio (using google translate):
http://powerpi.de/spotify-connect-auf-dem-raspberry-pi-2-installieren-dein-smartphone-ist-die-fernbedienung/

I love the result and it sounds fantastic. But I can't get it to auto start as Volumio is using another OS. I need to make this line to run on startup:
/root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name Volumio --username xyz --password 123456 --bitrate 320

Any ideas?

Best regards,
L

Hi Lazerharp,

Any ideas?

Store this service file as /usr/lib/systemd/system/spotify-connect.service

[Unit]
Description=Spotify Connect
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name Volumio --username xyz --password 123456 --bitrate 320
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
StartLimitInterval=30
StartLimitBurst=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To test the service execute:

systemctl start spotify-connect

If all works, you can enable the service (start on boot):

systemctl enable spotify-connect

I have this working with a Hifiberry DAC using the file below. I followed the Volumio guide but stopped after step 2 - applying the 'fix' is unnecessary and doesn't work!

There are a couple of problems left:

I have to stop the process before playing anything on mpd. Is there a way to get spotify-connect to release the alsa device when playback is stopped? Or is it possible to use Spotify connect as the target of the Spotify button inRuneUI?

Secondly volume controls do not work as the DAC has no software volume control- is there a way to,route through the Rune software control?

Here's some extra info: https://github.com/Fornoth/spotify-connect-web

[Unit]
Description=Spotify Connect
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name Stereo --device 1 --mixer PCM  --username lalala --password lalala --bitrate 320
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
StartLimitInterval=30
StartLimitBurst=20

[Install]

Sorry for thread hijack - found a fix for the also issue by replacing console_callbacks.py with this version: https://github.com/JozoVilcek/spotify-connect-web/blob/855b92b49555cdcc11d0ab4c71866475cd7c9499/console_callbacks.py

mpd & spotify are usable without reboots as long as you switch your spotify connect device when done!

Hey guys, ive tried the autostart as well but it isnt working. Nevertheless it seems that the service is starting but not working properly.

if i try to manually run the spotify connect putty gives me this:

 [root@runeaudio ~]# sudo /root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name Rune --username XXXXXXX --password XXXX --bitrate 320
mount: proc is already mounted or /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/proc busy
       proc is already mounted on /proc
       proc is already mounted on /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/proc

If I use

systemctl stop spotify-connect

and after this the manual method, everything is working.

Does anyone know where the problem is?

Im runnig an rpi3 with pifiberry dac+ and the latest rune0.4 beta

sholdn

I want to know what is supposed to happen after typing this command

systemctl start spotify-connect

zomtec

I have problem to install the script.
What is wrong?

thx

Hi zomtec,

What means
./spotify-connect-web.sh: line 9: sudo: command not found

It means that command "sudo" from line 9 in "spotify-connect-web.sh" is not found.

So it is most likely not installed at all.

You are logged in as root, therefore no need to use sudo command and therefore error you’re experiencing.

Try changing the script using nano to remove “sudo” on the line indicated or login as a regular another user if possible to run the run the script

Edit: Not sure if ArchLinux uses nano but any text edit command utility will do.

If your DAC has hardware volume control. Set '--mixer Digital' in spotify-connect.service. The volume of RuneAudio is linked with the Spotify app.

I wrote a thread about Spotify Connect on RuneAudio:

#6315

Many thanks to @Fornoth, @hongdagx35, @[deleted], @[deleted]...

First of all: Thank you very much for this wonderful piece of software you make!

I had similar problems with volume control, using RuneAudio v0.3-beta with a Hifiberry AMP+ and Spotify Connect 0.0.4-alpha. Changing the volume in the Spotify App did not change the volume in RuneAudio.

So I made use of the "--device" and "--mixer_device_index" parameters and changed the mixer to "Master".
With "aplay -l" you should be able to recognize the right output device index (--device) and the right sound card index for the mixer (--mixer_device_index). In the "alsamixer" view you can check which sound card is linked to the RuneAudio volume controls and how the mixer is named (usually PCM, Digital or Master)

For my setup it looks like this:

/root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name RuneAudio --device 1 --mixer_device_index 1 --mixer Master --username abc --password xyz --bitrate 320

Hopefully this will help someone with similar problems I had.
