# SCPlayer - Spotify Connect Player
Open source client of Spotify Connect closed library developed in Java

I decided to make a Java version because i needed the player to run without any privileged or any additional installation.

This version is *working with Raspberry Pi 2* with the hard float version of the spotify's library 
There is a version to run in Raspberry Pi 1 <a href="https://github.com/crsmoro/scplayer/tree/armel" target="_blank">here</a>, but it only works in a soft float system (you will have to install Raspbian armel or emulate with chroot, docker, etc...). This version will only be updated after a while the main version. 
It's possible that it will be run other devices if you use the right version of spotify's library.

If you managed to run on others devices, or need help to, let me know.

Quick run / I just want to use

Use as a Service

Details <a href="service">here</a>

Troubleshooting
----------------

If you are running on Openelec like I am, you have to run this command to enable alsa drivers 
from ssh type `echo snd_bcm2835 >> /storage/.config/modules-load.d/audio.conf` 
after version 6 you may also have to add `dtparam=audio=on` to config.txt 
and reboot

If you are running on OSMC you have to run this command to enable alsa drivers 
for older versions from ssh type `sudo modprobe snd_bcm2835` , no need to reboot 
for newer versions add this line `dtparam=audio=on` to `/boot/config.txt`

Disclaimer
----------------
Using this code to connect to Spotify's API is probably forbidden by them, and might result in your application key getting banned. Use at you own risk
