Notices

Unfortunately there is nothing I can do against lists not syncing currently. kempus5 is correct that libspotify is deprecated.

We can only wait until Spotify releases the new native library libspotify_embedded. I checked in the Android SDK there is a .so file included, but without a header file it is quite hard to get something usable out of it.

I've got one feature request I am not sure if it could be properly called a bug or an enhancement;

When you search for an artist by name, cutespotify will give a fairly long album list under the "albums" section, however if the artist or group has many albums it will not list them all..

For example; if you search for "Uriah Heep" you see 35 albums. However when you use spotify client on linux you see a range of 45 albums.
Why this is annoying; the albums are presented in the age order, newest first and this way I cannot access the oldest albums at all...

Regarding the issues with the libspotify api, I got a reply from Spotify when I asked them:

Hey,
there won't be a publicly available libspotify successor before the end of 2016. Happy to add you to a list of potential users of a private beta, if we run one. Please email developer-support@spotify.com with what you'd like to use it for 🙂 Happy holidays!

Any chance of a rebuild on 2.1.0.9? It seems that CuteSpot somehow doesn't produce any audio, and the volume controls change the ringtone volume. I'd have a go myself but I can't find the libspotify package anywhere now. They've removed it.

https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/

"Important! LibSpotify and CocoaLibSpotify are no longer under active development on any platform and are considered deprecated. If you are building applications for iOS or Android, please use the iOS SDK or Android SDK. We hope to be able to provide you with a new library for other platforms."

BTW CuteSpot from the Jolla Store is still working fine on Sailfish OS 2.1.0.9, so deinstall the version from Openrepos and install CuteSpot from the Jolla Store.

Didn't know cutespot existed in jollastore

Thanks now I can remove the crappy android original spotify app and use cutespot again

So how is the application working for users now? I am looking at getting spotify, but only if the CuteSpotify works well enough.

CuteSpotify has been replaced by CuteSpot.

The only thing that does not work, is syncing playlists.
So if you add a song to a playlist on CuteSpot, it won't be visible on the real PC Spotify client. But if you add it on the real Spotify client on the PC, it WILL show on CuteSpot.

Another thing that is a bit broken sometimes, is the search function. Other than that, it works fine.

I updated the openrepos version to a working one. I'm not sure if bluetooth controlling will work now (if it did on the Jolla-Store version it will, otherwise not).

Changes in version 1.5.8-0:
Improved MPRIS handling (thanks to abranson)
Fix crash in search
Initial URI handling support (for tracks only)
Remove bluetooth code that made the app non-working (openrepos version)

If there are no issues I will also put it in store.
