I misread and misunderstood and thought squeezeserver would show what was playing on the spotify client and/or offer control via the spotify client. Apologies. For this to work for me I either have to a) manually input the credentials via settings->advanced->spotty spotify connect for squeezebox. b) edit the code to use -u and -p I did check permissions on the cache directories and these look okay to me. I'll recheck and advise. One question on choosing the spotty device from the android or windows spotify client - should it turn green and say listening on spotty to indicate success? I think if I use -u and -p and try to connect via the spotify client, it connects (goes green and says listening on) but then skips over each track in the playlist. I suspect I've confused myself... Thanks for creating this.
