METHOD 1: Spotify Connect web by Fornoth

Tested on RPi2, RuneAudio 0.4-beta_20170229, Boss Dac. It works perfect!

You need to extend partition first.

Code: Select all

curl -OL https://github.com/Fornoth/spotify-connect-web/releases/download/0.0.3-alpha/spotify-connect-web.sh

Code: Select all

nano /root/spotify-connect-web.sh

Remove all 'sudo '

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
set -e

DIR=~/spotify-connect-web-chroot

if [ "$1" == "install" ]; then
        mkdir -p $DIR
        cd $DIR
        curl -L https://github.com/Fornoth/spotify-connect-web/releases/download/0.0.3-alpha/spotify-connect-web_0.0.3-alpha_chroot.tar.gz | tar xz
else
        trap "umount $DIR/dev $DIR/proc" EXIT
        mount --bind /dev $DIR/dev
        mount -t proc proc $DIR/proc/
        cp /etc/resolv.conf $DIR/etc/
        chroot $DIR /bin/bash -c "cd /usr/src/app && python main.py $*"
fi


Code: Select all

chmod +x spotify-connect-web.sh

Code: Select all

/root/spotify-connect-web.sh install

Code: Select all

wget https://github.com/RafaPolit/moode-spotify-connect-web/raw/master/spotify_appkey.key

mv /root/spotify_appkey.key /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/usr/src/app

Now test:

Code: Select all

/root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name RuneAudio --device 0 --mixer Digital --username abc --password xyz --bitrate 320

--device <value> --mixer <value> from alsamixer:



If everything's OK. Now you can see RuneAudio Connect on your Spotify app!

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

Code: Select all

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/spotify-connect.service

Code: Select all

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

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name RuneAudio --device 0 --mixer Digital --username abc --password xyz --bitrate 320
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
StartLimitInterval=30
StartLimitBurst=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To test the service execute:

Code: Select all

systemctl start spotify-connect

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

Code: Select all

systemctl enable spotify-connect

Adjust Spotify volume on app or web, also control volume on RuneAudio.

After successfully install v0.0.3. You can update to v0.0.4 by the same this way. If you install v0.0.4 first, it's not working.

METHOD 2: Spotifyd by Simon Persson

Many thanks to dynobot!

spotify-connect-on-runeaudio-t6315-20.html#p27695

Thanks tml3nr for the write up.

I tried a few times to compile the new Librespot(-org) but failed everytime mostly because of dependencies. On debian/raspian based RPI's this is less painful
This seems like a good alternative. I have v0.0.4 installed (following your guide) on an RPi 3: running good sofar!

Thanks,

Greetings,

Martin

Unfortunately, after a full day of listening things didn't turn out that good. More than once the music stopped completely. A reboot was required to get things going again.

Anyone else having similar issues?

There are currently 3 versions of spotify-connect-web can work on RuneAudio:

Code: Select all

1.

http://spotify-connect-web.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/spotify-connect-web.tar

Code: Select all

2.

https://github.com/Fornoth/spotify-connect-web/releases/download/0.0.3-alpha/spotify-connect-web_0.0.3-alpha_chroot.tar.gz

Code: Select all

3.

https://github.com/Fornoth/spotify-connect-web/releases/download/0.0.4-alpha/spotify-connect-web_0.0.4-alpha_chroot.tar.gz

For me the first one works perfectly:

Code: Select all

curl -O http://spotify-connect-web.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/spotify-connect-web.sh

Code: Select all

nano /root/spotify-connect-web.sh

Remove all 'sudo '

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
set -e
DIR=~/spotify-connect-web-chroot
if [ "$1" == "install" ]; then
  mkdir -p $DIR
  cd $DIR
  curl http://spotify-connect-web.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/spotify-connect-web.tar.gz | tar xz
else
  trap "umount $DIR/dev $DIR/proc" EXIT
  mount --bind /dev $DIR/dev
  mount -t proc proc $DIR/proc/
  cp /etc/resolv.conf $DIR/etc/
  chroot $DIR /bin/bash -c "cd /usr/src/app && python main.py $*"
fi

Code: Select all

chmod +x spotify-connect-web.sh

Code: Select all

./spotify-connect-web.sh install

Download spotify_appkey.key and console_callbacks.py from:

https://github.com/RafaPolit/moode-spot ... appkey.key

https://github.com/JozoVilcek/spotify-c ... llbacks.py

Copy file spotify_appkey.key to /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/usr/src/app

Copy overwrite file console_callbacks.py to /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/usr/src/app

Run test:

Code: Select all

/root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name RuneAudio --device 0 --mixer Digital --username abc --password xyz --bitrate 320

Code: Select all

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/spotify-connect.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Spotify Connect
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name RuneAudio --device 0 --mixer Digital --username abc --password xyz --bitrate 320
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
StartLimitInterval=30
StartLimitBurst=20
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Code: Select all

systemctl enable spotify-connect

PS: Edit console_callbacks.py to more accurately volume control from Spotify app to RuneAudio (If your DAC has hardware volume):

Code: Select all

nano /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/usr/src/app/console_callbacks.py

Edit:

Code: Select all

mixer.setvolume(int(volume / 655.35))

to:

Code: Select all

mixer.setvolume(int(50 + (volume / 655.35) / 2 ))

Many thanks to maumi for this tip (Volume fix):

Thanks, I'll try the first 1 as well.
Let's see if that one is more stable.

Unfortunately this doesn't work either. Same problems.

Never mind it was worth the try. May be this weekend I'll try again with h an RP2.

Thank you very much for your test. Maybe it would be better on RPi2. All 3 versions of spotify-connect-web work fine on my test with RPi2.

i have both RPi2 & RPi3. But i prefer RPi2 because it's low noise, sound more cleaner.

Hello,
I've got a problem with step: ./spotify-connect-web.sh install. Putty claims there is no space left on divice, while I have a 16GB card !
