Spotify Connect Addon: OAuth needed - how?

Configuration
,
1

Hi Guys,

I think I am missing something out. I recently installed Spotify Connect (after a long time of not using it etc)
According to the logs OAuth is needed but to be honest I dont know how to do Oauth with this AddOn.
I followed the Documentation but I am pretty sure it just hasnt been updated since OAuth is mandatory for this.

Hello The-May,

If you are using some add-on, those are written by others and supported there, so I would check there first.

There is a spotify core integration, have you tried that?

Hi @Sir_Goodenough

I know the differences of Addons and Integrations.

Bottom line in this case:
Integration gives me control, Addon gives me Sound out.
So there is no way the Integration here fulfills my needs.

Frenck is the maintainer, therefore I thought I might ask here first before creating a github Issue to make sure it is not a problem with my configuration, since I dont know what to do with oauth.

Oh I see it is just broken and Oauth is a pain in the butt to configure. Yeah well… next time I am going to watch if there is a potential relation in unrelated issues… :slight_smile: I guess the solution is that there is no solution. What a real bummer… thx @VietNgoc
