No audio for Spotify app

[leXorNet]

I've made a spotifyapp that, except for playback, is pretty functional.

I can't seem to get the playback to work so if anyone has experience in streaming music over http using a python server, please let me know. It's the last bit needed before the first version of the app is done.

That's great news! (except the audio not working bit). Whilst I cannot help you in anyway I do hope someone else can soon!

WOW! fantastic news!!! can't wait!

you've beaten boxee to it then - and they have $26.5m of funding behind them.

That's good to know May be you can try to get in touch with bartsidee www.bartsidee.nl , he might be able to help you. Good luck.

From what I've learned is that you are not allowed to restream the audio according to the API license.

That's why Servify has to play the audio and not Spy in my setup

You need spotify to handle this internally via their API. Boxee itself reached out a week ago or so when the public USA beta invites went out. They did this globally asking to port it.

If you get this working, count us all in granted we can get an invite.

Yea. I'm not talking about streaming in that sense. I'm not looking to violate their terms. My spotify client runs nativly on the Boxee Box. The problem is that the Boxee player software/API is very limited in what sources it accepts (a file or a stream basically). That's why, to be able to play anything, the client have to stream to itself (or access the audio hardware directly, which seems less doable) :P

Are you talking about account invites or something else (developer invites??)

Boxee did this? How/where? What do you mean "globally"?

I'm just very very curious as I'd love to see spotify on Boxee but I'm having a hard time understanding what you've posted (probably because I'm up in the middle of the night )

BTW if anyone needs account invites, PM with your email address, I have quite a few...

Cool. I've been trying to get a Spotify API working in Python.
Out of interest, what do you use to talk to Spotify in python?

I use the great python wrapper for libspotify called pySpotify. I did some modifications to make it run on boxee and added some missing functionallity.
