* create Volume struct for use with Cache * add "volume" file to Cache * load cached volume on start, intial overrides cached overrides default * amend volume_to_mixer function to cache the volume on every change * pass cache to Spirc and SpircTask so volume_to_mixer has access * rustfmt changes * revert volume_to_mixer function and Spirc/SpircTask cache variable * Volume implements Copy, pass by value instead of reference * clamp volume to 100 if cached value exceeds limit * convert Volume to u16 internally, use float and round to convert hex->dec * convert initial_volume and ConnectConfig.volume to u16 as well * add cache_volume function to SpircTask * remove conversion to/from percentage on cached volume * consolidate device.set_volume, mixer.set_volume, and caching * streamline intial volume logic |

librespot
librespot is an open source client library for Spotify. It enables applications to use Spotify's service, without using the official but closed-source libspotify. Additionally, it will provide extra features which are not available in the official library.
Note: librespot only works with Spotify Premium
This fork
As the origin by plietar is no longer actively maintained, this organisation and repository have been set up so that the project may be maintained and upgraded in the future.
Documentation
Documentation is currently a work in progress.
There is some brief documentation on how the protocol works in the docs folder, and more general usage and compilation information is available on the wiki.
CONTRIBUTING.md also contains detailed instructions on setting up a development environment, compilation, and contributing guidelines.
If you wish to learn more about how librespot works overall, the best way is to simply read the code, and ask any questions you have in the Gitter chat linked above.
Issues
If you run into a bug when using librespot, please search the existing issues before opening a new one. Chances are, we've encountered it before, and have provided a resolution. If not, please open a new one, and where possible, include the backtrace librespot generates on crashing, along with anything we can use to reproduce the issue, eg. the Spotify URI of the song that caused the crash.
Building
Rust 1.21.0 or later is required to build librespot.
If you are building librespot on macOS, the homebrew provided rust may fail due to the way in which homebrew installs rust. In this case, uninstall the homebrew version of rust and use rustup, and librespot should then build. This should have been fixed in more recent versions of Homebrew, but we're leaving this notice here as a warning.
We strongly suggest you install rust using rustup, for ease of installation and maintenance.
It also requires a C, with portaudio.
On debian / ubuntu, the following command will install these dependencies :
sudo apt-get install build-essential portaudio19-dev
On Fedora systems, the following command will install these dependencies :
sudo dnf install portaudio-devel make gcc
On macOS, using homebrew :
brew install portaudio
Once you've cloned this repository you can build librespot using cargo.
cargo build --release
Usage
A sample program implementing a headless Spotify Connect receiver is provided. Once you've built librespot, run it using :
target/release/librespot --name DEVICENAME
The above is a minimal example. Here is a more fully fledged one:
target/release/librespot -n "Librespot" -b 320 -c ./cache --enable-volume-normalisation --initial-volume 75 --device-type avr
The above command will create a receiver named Librespot, with bitrate set to 320kbps, initial volume at 75%, with volume normalisation enabled, and the device displayed in the app as an Audio/Video Receiver. A folder named cache will be created/used in the current directory, and be used to cache audio data and credentials.
A full list of runtime options are available here
