No kodi sound output if spotify-connect-web server is active

Help and Support Vero 2

Hello

Sorry about the late reply. I just tested this on my Vero 2. I had to use @trohn_javolta’s suggestion to hardcode the mixer volume.

I now see:

./spotify-connect-web.sh 
SpInit: 0
playback_volume: 1
public key: jAqi7NGkvTIO7ne6WoFS1QtKJ+Z8Sgwuw02Lr/TfuYycrGDxrZRvfm+ev4kNmLF744NReJaMIIGWmMCuBLTJUCyQZkvGym3K47rdJE+64vpesvuabQRbPSxGNQvz6WnK
device id: 688f1eb7-acc5-4b02-9cda-fcd9535ec4dd
remote name: TestConnect
account req: PREMIUM
device type: AUDIODONGLE

However I do not see the device on my iPhone, using the Spotify app. This is all I have:

Is there anything else I need to do?

Because the Vero 2 has two audio sinks (SPDIF and Analogue), it’s possible to leverage this to get two different streams at once:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: AMLM8AUDIO [AML-M8AUDIO], device 0: AML PCM dummy_codec-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: AMLM8AUDIO [AML-M8AUDIO], device 1: SPDIF PCM dit-hifi-1 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  • Set up Kodi as SPDIF so you can keep passthrough. This should be the default anyway.
  • Get Spotify to use the dummy sink as follows:

./spotify-connect-web.sh --device "plughw:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=0"

It should work. Let me know.
