Hi @ZM71,

Alright then fuck this all Spotify third-party is no more than a bullshit scam.

I'm sorry you feel this free/libre software is a "bullshit scam" but per the license it's offered "as-is" and without warranty.

[Raspotify] IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO [...] FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE [...].

We won't tolerate the abuse.

In good faith, I'll provide you the following pointers and some things you can try:

1. Your OS, DietPi isn't on the supported OS list. Try a supported OS.
2. See if you can find a solution to your problem in the wiki.
3. You may be having issues with zeroconf (avahi), see [BUG] Avahi error: Setting up dns-sd failed: I/O error: No such file or directory (os error 2)  #697 -- are you sure you're using the latest version of Raspotify?
4. If you don't have zeroconf enabled, have you entered your credentials in /etc/raspotify/conf?
5. Try posting your logs to an issue, if you feel it's an actual bug.
6. 0xDEADBEEF (couldn't resist the pointer joke)

Beyond that, you're on your own as we don't offer basic end-user support. Thanks!

No the app is not a scam but I'm so dumb that i don't know how to use this and i didn't expect your app to require premium that's the only problem here, perhaps my brain hit post too early.

[dtcooper]

I'll sort of accept this an apology. Unfortunately, if you don't have a Spotify Premium account, Raspotify/Librespot isn't going to work for you.

[ZM71]

Oh so it's the depencie that requires premium not your app, sorry for inconvenience then. Thanks

Idk maybe it's a bug how do i install libre easily on dietpi running xfce4 i can exit and run commands directly in dietpi if that seems to be the compatibility problem? I get that you cannot change things like this due to Spotify limitations but there must be something i can do in the config?

[ZM71]

I tried using it yesterday so i think it is latest

[ZM71]

I would like to be able to change the config to make it appear as a cast device rather than a connect device due to Spotify limitations i cannot connect without premium.

[ZM71]

I literally said it's no output i said it returned an empty line and successfully starts raspotify but doesn't tell.

[ZM71]

Idk why you aren't able to help when you're the only one who knows best how this app really works.

Whats supported then Ubuntu that it obviously is too weak for?!

Converted to a discussion. Perhaps one of our users would be willing to help you.

Please read the Basic Setup Guide for information about what OS to use. Raspberry Pi OS Lite is recommended.

As well, per the wiki's home page Librespot, and therefore Raspotify, requires a premium account.
