Spotify on Rpi3

[janui]

Hi nickvas19 & hondagx35,
On my Pi B+/zero version with an updated kernel Spotify works fine.
My Pi 3B version with an updated kernel (build janui-20171120) which is based on the v0.3-beta (23/03/2016) RuneAudio_rpi2_rp3_0.4-beta_20160321_2GB.img.gz Spotify will not work.
But I do know that Spotify has worked on the 0.3-beta (23/03/2016) RuneAudio_rpi2_rp3_0.4-beta_20160321_2GB.img.gz. But I don’t have this version installed at the moment so can't test it now.
Very strange.

Hi nickvas19 & hondagx35,

To fix this problem log in via SSH and edit the file /etc/spop/spopd.conf with the command

Code: Select all

nano /etc/spop/spopd.conf

Search for the line with the contents 'cache_path =' and replace it with 'cache_path = /tmp/spop', it should then look like this

Code: Select all

### Cache settings ###
#cache_size = 0
cache_path = /tmp/spop
settings_path = /tmp/spop

Hi janui,

on my latest image it is set to "cache_path = /tmp/spop".
Could you please try this on your installation.

Tested. This works fine.
To avoid possible conflicting solutions I will modify my previous post.

well....i it's like this as default. So there isn't something to change...and still doesn't work.

Any ideas?!

Must be the spotify opened in other device when i try to open it with rpi3?!

Hi nickvas19,
It works without problems on my installation But it is a bit slow.
The only thing I can think of is: Do you use Spotify premium via a Facebook login account?
I use a login account direct with Spotify. The password has a couple of special characters, but no spaces. The special characters do not seem to be a problem.

This is an old thread, but I am still facing issues to run Spotify from RuneAudio. I have premium account and I have special characters in my password. Can the special characters be problematic?
