S905X2 librespot doesn't work

Kodi Add-ons
1

Today I installed CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.0-Generic on my new H96 Max (4/32).
All is working fine so far, but I can’t get librespot working.
When I compare to my old S905 box I can see librespot doesn’t start right on the S905X2.
S905X2:

librespot --backend pulseaudio --bitrate 320 --cache /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.librespot/cache --device-type TV --disable-audio-cache --name "Kodi (CoreELEC-H96Max)" --notify-kodi --disable-discovery --password xxx --username xxx --verbose

That's all, also cant do a control-c to end the process.

S905:

librespot --backend pulseaudio --bitrate 320 --cache /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.librespot/cache --device-type TV --disable-audio-cache --name "Kodi (CoreELEC-Zeepin)" --notify-kodi --disable-discovery --password xxx --username xxx --verbose

Any one knows how to solve this ?
I already tried copying the ~/.kodi/addons/service.librespot files from the S905 to the S905X2, same result.
In dmesg I see these messages:
[ 239.060414@1] “librespot” (4647) uses deprecated CP15 Barrier instruction at 0xab5de270
Also switching to the latest nigthly doesn’t solve it.

Same issue here with Corelec 9.2.0 on T95Q…

3

Same problem for me, since I upgraded to 9.2.0 librespot doesn’t work anymore.
I am willing to help if somebody needs more information.

4

Did you find any fix ? :slight_smile:

5

I installed the version here and it seems to be working. Maybe give it a shot

6

I will try the nightly version if I find some time, and otherwise I just hope it will be fixed in the next stable.

7

Hmm I tried the last 2 versions and both didn’t work for me.
Spotify just doesn’t appear on the devices nearby screen.

8

Same here… :’(

This command should be executed before running librespot

echo 2 >/proc/sys/abi/cp15_barrier

So the solution is adding this line to the file /storage/.config/autostart.sh. If this file doesn’t exist create it. And the file muct be in Unix format (don’t use Windows Notepad to create this file).

New versions of this addon will have this workaround included.

I know this topic is over three years old, but I’m unsure if starting a new topic is needed. S905X on CoreElec Nexus 20.2 running Librespot v20.2.2 (2023-05-14), but anyway. This command makes it connect, but my iPhone can not control the music. The title, progress bar and any media controls are gone, I can’t disconnect from the device either, I must manually disable the service.
