How to use Spotify with Mediaportal ?
That is the question !
I’m a brand new user of Spotify Premium.
So I asked myself if there’s a solution to play Spotify’s music inside Mediaportal. I didn’t find any addon…

I know an addon exist on Kodi, so it would be interesting to have one in Mediaportal too...

So how to do right now?
First, I casted my Spotify’s music on my Chromecast pluged on my A/V amplifier. The sound was not very good, (disappointing).
I found another solution.
I installed in my htpc the Spotify App. It starts when Windows starts, and stays minimized in the task bar.
In the Spotify’s preferences, I choiced "not allow Overlay".
Of course when my htpc starts, Mediaportal starts and it’s my frontend.
If I want to play my music from my NAS I use my remote
If I want to play my music from Spotify I use my smartphone.
It’s my solution, not the best, I know.
If you have a better solution…

you can"t

Logitech Media Server + Spotty + iPeng
I don't have any experience with spotty (its just a plugin for LMS), but LMS + iPeng is the best solution for music I found so far.

Thanks you for your reply and for your solution.

For me, a mediacenter would be the center . One application: Mediaportal ...to listen, watch, record, play . Nothing all.
Nowadays, listening to music is also through applications like Spotify (or Deezer or Qobuz). Mediaportal should be able to do it, I think.
Can we imagine that a Spotify plugin will be created soon for Mediaportal (as it exists in kodi)?

Not work at all!
The plugin installed without problem. The settings in MediaPortal Configuration are ok.
But in MediaPortal, the following text is displayed when I click on Rockstar: "missing or invalid file" .
I use MP1.24.
