None

Hi,

I'm running HifiberryOS on a Raspberry pi zero, and spotify is not listed with the sources. When logging into the device via ssh a service called spotify.service is present.

The output of cat /etc/hifiberry.state is:

CURRENT_PIMODEL=0w

CURRENT_MIXER_CONTROL="Softvol"

CURRENT_CARD="DAC+ Zero/Light/MiniAmp"

CURRENT_HW="card 0"

CURRENT_HW_SHORT=0

CURRENT_SYSNAME="musicPi"

CURRENT_PLAYERS=""

CURRENT_HATINFO=" "

CURRENT_FEATURES="pi bluetooth *"

CURRENT_DSPTYPE=""

PIVERSION=0

How can i get spotify to show up with the sources?

It's not supported on the Pi Zero.

As mentioned, Spotify doesn't seem to be supported on the Pi Zero. However, the other streaming software distributions seem to support Spotify on the Pi Zero with HiFiBerry DAC just fine. I'm using Mopidy with Iris and it works great. The maintainers of the HiFiBerryOS say that the zero doesn't have enough horsepower to support Spotify, but you could try compiling your own build with support to see if it works.
