How to connect to Spotify

Should Spotify Connect just work out of the box? I do have a premium Spotify account but I’m not seeing my device show up in Spotify connect. Is there something I need to do?
I do see my device on the dashboard and it claims to be working.
Should I see Spotify as a service on the dashboard?

hey @jake2 , it should be enabled by default according to Plugins | Balena Sound . Do you see a service called Spotify on the dashboard and can you see any logs for that service?

The only service i see is the hello world service I installed.

Hi @jake2 , it sounds like balenaSound wasn’t actually deployed to the fleet your device belongs to. Can you try deploying again and seeing how it goes? This section of the readme should be able to help you out: GitHub - balena-io-experimental/balena-sound: Build a single or multi-room streamer for an existing audio device using a Raspberry Pi! Supports Bluetooth, Airplay and Spotify Connect

This worked! Not sure what I did wrong the first few attempts, but I now see Spotify as a service.

Is there a link in the documentation to this from balena.io? GitHub - balena-io-experimental/balena-sound: Build a single or multi-room streamer for an existing audio device using a Raspberry Pi! Supports Bluetooth, Airplay and Spotify Connect

I was having trouble finding this information on my own…

@jake2 Glad that you got it working! We normally keep relevant documentation in the project’s repo, so a search for something like balena-sound github (or something similar for a different project) should help get you there.
