Feature Requests
21

For me it isnt working, after i Type last command pip install pyspotify i get error:
But i cant find log file which i have a in error messege in root/. pip/pip.log
I did all of that with terminal inside osmc
In spotlight i have same as before errno111

edit
in putty the same
have something like this

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-pf1rZ6/pyspotify

22

I have the same promblem…

23

Did you restart osmc after every change to spotlight settings / installation

24

Ive rebooted many times. still get this error when running last command

pip install pyspotify

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-cMeeJ5/pyspotify
Storing debug log for failure in /home/osmc/.pip/pip.log

25

try sudo pip --help if you get an error on pip do this

sudo easy_install pip and wait for it to finish then retry

and i truly hope that you evoked sudo before pip cause its not gonna install shit without sudo or if you invoked sudo -s then there isn’t really need for sudo in front of everything

btw @DBMandrake or @sam_nazarko can this topic be moved into support instead its not really a feature request anymore

I have done all that. Still get the following

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-xXcbRQ/pyspotify
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

27

Hi, i did all your advice and still have a errno111.
I managed to get pip.log, maybe it will be some sort of help to get understand why it isn’t work properly.

pip.log

messeges i get on putty

While I understand why you’d want to move the topic I’d rather see it split.

I still wish OSMC could integrate better with spotify (and why not other services, maybe using mopidy or something of the sort?)

It’s great to have Spotlight, but the development of the plugin is abandoned and it’s lacking lots of features. I’m very grateful for all the support (and I hope that things will work out for those who still haven’t gotten it to work) but I’d find it a let down if the feature request would be regarded as fulfilled because of this. (With that said I do think that it wouldn’t be totally unreasonable to lower its priority with regard to spotlight working (sort of))

pip install pyspotify
exit

here we go final fix for ya all tried it on a clean OSMC install so i know it works save it as install_pyspotify.sh then do sudo chmod +x install_pyspotify.sh then ./install_pyspotify.sh and wait… or do the commands separately in a terminal.

@hsus yeah split is better

31

typo… should be chmod +x install_pyspotify.sh for those copy and pasting

32

Typo aside did the shit work ?

33

my terminal is up to this… hence i havent replied yet.

Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip-build-ywyt9i/pyspotify/setup.py) egg_info for package pyspotify

34

Compiling can take a while.
