I'm using libspotify 12.1.103.gd51f6226 Release Linux-armv6-bcm2708hardfp on my Raspberry Pi and I think that everything worked out alright with the instruction in the readme.
I changed out appkey.c for my appkey as given by spotify but when I run the spshell example and try to login, I get an error
FATAL, TERMINATING: failed to log in to Spotify: Cannot connect to Spotify
Logged out
Exiting...
I'm sure that I'm using the correct username (I also tried email) and password (I also tried changing the password) and I've tried the jukebox example as well and get a similar error. I'm able to log into the website and the windows app just fine.
The one place that I think that I might have gone wrong is:
After this, ensure your PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set tocd
include the libspotify control file, and that the lib directory is
in the library search path.
I'm pretty sure that I did that okay and I don't get any errors during the build.
Any ideas?
I had the exact same problem, which you can see from my comments on this question. For me it turned out to be a problem with my username which contains a non-ascii letter ö. But since my plan all along was to use pyspotify I managed to log in using their jukebox example and hardcoding my username where appropriate and adding the nice little u infront of it, and now I can login to spotify, see line ~460 in the jukebox example:
session_m = Jukebox(options.username, options.password, True)
Which i changed to this:
session_m = Jukebox(u"username_with_ö", options.password, True)
Now my problem is another which is that I can't access /dev/dsp but that is an entirerly different problem. :)
EDIT
apt-get install alsa-oss solve the above mentioned problem, my raspberry is now playing music!
