I prefer to use Kodi on my Raspberry pi, its simple and running very well.
Unfortunately there is no native support for Spotify – Marcel van der Veldt to the rescue.
Marcel put up a nice music add-on for Spotify, it even works very will with Spotify Connect/Streaming devices.
- Download and copy the Marcelveldt Repository zip file to your Kodi box
- Open Kodi -> System -> Add-ons – > Install from zip file (if you copyed to another folder then the repository folder, the use “browse in root file system”)
- Install and wait for add-on enabled notification
- Go to install add-on from repository and select Marcelveldt’s Beta Repository.
- Select Music Add-ons
- Select Spotify
- Select Install
- Wait for add-on enabled notification
- Select Spotify
- Select Configure
- Add your Spotify username and Password
- Reboot
..And you’re done! 🙂
You can access your Spotify playlists from music add-ons.
Your device will also be visible for streaming to/from – I tested it from my iPhone 7, works great! 🙂
