Thank you so much for your help!

hmm unfortunately no real error message. Maybe you can try to run raspotify executable manually.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/librespot --name NanoPi-NEO-Plus2

does it give anything?

No... i\t reports ''illegal instruction''.

[Joulinar]

and running /usr/bin/librespot only?

[gtj]

Yes the same - illegal instruction.
However I can navigate with cd to /usr/bin/ directory and in there I can see librespot.

My guess, you are not running Raspbian as base image. Probably that's why you are not able to start the executable. But this is really just a guess.

Yes that's the definitely the problem here as my OS is the Ubuntu Xenial img compiled by Friendly Elec.
I wish there was a more universal version of that Raspotify thing.
I guess I have to look for another Spotify-Connect client that will work with Ubuntu.

Thanks for all your help anyway. This is much appreciated.

Or go for a Raspberry Pi board

Or go for a Raspberry Pi board

I got all RPis! I previously used a RPi Zero on that streamer I had built.
I got it fit on an old B&W Zeppelin speaker and made it to get power from the ipod dock.
The problem is that the dock cannot power the RPi2 or RPi3.
However, It can power RpI Zero and the NanoPi NeoPlus2.
There's where the other problem comes:
While on Zero I could run Raspotify, I couldn't run another essential software for my streamer- the Roon Bridge. The Pi Zero is armv6.
The NeoPlus2 can run Roon Bridge (that software requires armv7 architecture or later) but it can't run Raspotify!

Go figure!
