Hi all!

The last couple of days David has put a lot of effort into getting the basic functions into a stable state. And with great success, I might add. Spotyxbmc has now switched into the latest version of libspotify, 0.0.3 and after some initial testing it looks like it will build fine on both 32 and 64 bit systems.

David told me he did some (actually he said “alot”) head scratching and hair pulling trying to figure out why things segfaulted on him when he tested artist browing. As he is a humble man, he tried everything he could think of first thinking that it was something on his end of the rope, but the feeling that something was not right with the API slowly grew stronger. And after some inquiring Spotify confirmed that there is a bug in libspotify 0.0.3 making it impossible to browse all records from a certain artist. David has however worked around this and the function is working in spotyxbmc.

It would have been nice to post a video with sound but unfortunately we have not been able to get sound working in gtk-recordMyDesktop. I played around with it for the better part of an evening but without result. Any tips is appreciated.

About the release date we are still not making any promises but things are looking good and I don’t see any reason for this not being released in the very near future. Frustrating for some maybe, but we will not be more specific that this.

Really notable is the buzzing activity over at Noah Williamsson’s on GitHub (http://github.com/noahwilliamsson/openspotify/). He is apparently working hard to get his openspotify ready and audio playback is now implemented! Keep up the good work Noah!
