spotify for amd64

[bogdanvaduva]

Could you please add to spotify plugin's package.json (after)

	"architectures": [
		"armhf",

the following 2 lines

                   "amd64",
                   "i386"

Thanks

That alone won't be sufficient. As the repo also needs to include a amd64 version of spop.

This needs to be recompiled - would you be able to do this? The other option is to run in it i386 compatibility mode..

[bogdanvaduva]

Thanks, I've done it myself and it seems to work, but I was thinking if someone else wants to use it.
I've compiled spop and for me everything is fine.
Great job! Thanks again!

[volumio]

Well done bogdan!

Would you mind sending the archive and sources of which you compiled spop?
@ashthespy how can we run it in i386 compatibility mode? Can you help on that?

[bogdanvaduva]

Do you think explaining the steps that i followed would help? I can put the archives on git ! ( next week)

[volumio]

@bogdanvaduva yes, thanks!

[ashthespy]

@ashthespy how can we run it in i386 compatibility mode? Can you help on that?

Essentially

dpkg --add-architecture i386 
apt install <package>:i386
# So you'd need all dependencies to be installed like so
apt-get install -y libao-dev:i386 <rest of spop deps>

@volumio here are the steps that I followed in order to make spotify work on a x86_64 distribution:
Step 1.
Downloaded latest Volumio from

PC (X86/X64)
Volumio Audiophile Music Player for PC (X86/X64)
VERSION: 3.224

RELEASE DATE: 07-02-2022

Step 2.

I've activated SSH:

Step 3.

Connected to Volumio (user volumio, password volumio)

Step 4.

git clone https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins-sources.git (latest)

Step 5

cd volumio-plugins-sources/spotify

Step 6

nano package.json

Step 7

Changed package.json as follows:

---

"volumio_info": {
"prettyName": "Spotify",
"icon": "fa-spotify",
"plugin_type": "music_service",
"os": [
"buster"
],
"details": "Spotify plugin for Volumio2",
"changelog": "",
"architectures": [
"armhf"
]
},

---

to

"volumio_info": {
"prettyName": "Spotify",
"icon": "fa-spotify",
"plugin_type": "music_service",
"os": [
"buster"
],
"details": "Spotify plugin for Volumio2",
"changelog": "",
"architectures": [
"armhf",
"amd64",
"i386"
]
},

Step 8

Ctrl-O (Save)
Ctrl-X (Exit from nano)

Step 9

cd /home/volumio

Download spop using

git clone git://github.com/Schnouki/spop.git

Step 10

Run sudo apt-get install cmake
Password: volumio

Step 11

Add the archive's GPG key:

wget -q -O - https://apt.mopidy.com/mopidy.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list, or if you have the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, add it to a file called mopidy.list in that directory:

sudo wget -q -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mopidy.list https://apt.mopidy.com/stretch.list

Note: The new source has to be the strech one

Install packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libspotify12 libspotify-dev

Step 12

Cd spop

mkdir -p ~/.config/spop
cp spop/spopd.conf.sample ~/.config/spop/spopd.conf
nano ~/.config/spop/spopd.conf

run sudo ./build_and_run -fv
You might get an error saying spopd.conf missing from /root/.config/spop
Copy the one from above to /root/.config/spop. You might have to copy it to /etc/spopd.conf

Step 13

Cd /home/volumio/volumio-plugins-sources/spotify

Change install.sh

by commenting the following lines (the following lines would work if there will be a package there)

#wget http://repo.volumio.org/Packages/Spop/spop-${DPKG_ARCH}.tar.gz
#sudo tar xvf /tmp/spop-${DPKG_ARCH}.tar.gz -C /
#rm /tmp/spop-${DPKG_ARCH}.tar.gz


#sudo chmod 777 /etc/spopd.conf
#echo "Linking libsox if required"
#[ ! -e /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libsox.so.2 ] && ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libsox.so.3 /usr/local/lib/libsox.so.2

Step 14

run volumio plugin install

[bogdanvaduva]

Here is the link to deb package

https://github.com/bogdanvaduva/spop/blob/master/spop_0.1.1_amd64.deb

It has to be seen as an example and not as a working / release package

[volumio]

@bogdanvaduva well done! the key was the part we were missing...

@balbuze @ashthespy is there someone willing to give an helping hand and compile it for x64?
