Spotty doesn’t count royalties for music streaming
Firtst of all, congratulations for the plugin. I’ve tried different solutions to stream music through a raspberry pi zero w and this is the best implementation I found.
Next, I notice that playing music through the spotty app doesn’t count as stream for spotify streaming service. I’m the owner of a clothing store and an artist too, and I used to play my songs at my shop. I’m sure about what i’m saying because i tried this for over one month, and this is bad cause it’s the only issue I found.
Hi @Pierdab - this unfortunately is a known issue. I reported this back to the librespot project a while ago. But it seems they haven't found a way to fix this (yet). See https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/discussions/626
This also has the unfortunate side-effect of automatic playlists not being updated anymore by spotify when listening exclusively via the LMS since as far as spotify is concerned, the account has become stale and therefore they disable the cronjobs for it to reduce system load.
@Hypfer - fully understood. The situation isn't good. But it's definitely beyond me, unfortunately. Please chime in in https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/discussions/626.
