Spotify Connect for Volumio

Volumio Spotify Connect

NOTE: I no longer maintain this plugin - please open issues at the Volumio plugin repo

This Volumio plugin utilises vollibrespot to provide better integration of Spotify Connect in Volumio.

As always, it is being actively developed - some features are still WIP.

Tested on :

• RPI 0
• RPI B
• RPI B+
• RPI2
• RPI3
• SPARKY
• PINE64
• x86 laptop
• OrangePiLite

This repo splits the old volspotconnect2 plugin into a new separate repository, making it easier to maintain.

IMPORTANT

• Requires a Premium or Family account

To install

Before installing the dev version, REMOVE the old plugin from your system using the webUI plugins page.

Due to a Volumio decision, developer plugins can only be install through SSH. Here is how:

1. Enable SSH and connect to Volumio

Follow the Volumio guide to enable and access your device via ssh.

2. Download and install the plugin

Type the following commands to download and install plugin:

wget https://github.com/balbuze/volumio-plugins/raw/master/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotconnect2.zip
mkdir ./volspotconnect2
miniunzip volspotconnect2.zip -d ./volspotconnect2
cd ./volspotconnect2
volumio plugin install

3.Enable the plugin

In Volumio webUI, go in plugin section > installed plugin. You should see volspotconnect2 now! Enable it and play! You can go in the plugin settings to tweak some details. Enjoy !
