would be nice of him to publish the solution...

I have Spotify installed on BS5 directly and use this for Spotify Connect using A.AUX.

No covers though :-)

Hi

I have installed Spotify on BM5 and use Spotify connect when using a.aux.

However. If you keep Spotify playing while changing to Radio, you will get both sources out ..... feature ;-)

I will check my Spotify version tomorrow evening.

Hi,

I have it working with an old win 32 version of Spotify 0.9.15.27

Took me a wile to find a 32 bit version at a safe download site. They al still in the Spotify forum for as long as they are there.

Link https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Install-amp-Launch-Errors-Error-Code-53-Error-Code-17-amp-This/m-p/699012

Running at service menu I get a warning that in the future this system will not be supported for updates. When the BM5 losses power Spotify has to be started again. I gave Spotify auto start at Windows reboot but this seems not enough.

And I have the "feature you mentioned. " If you keep Spotify playing while changing to Radio, you will get both sources out".

But so far I am happy with it. Thanks!.

No usefull reply from Sptify comunity so far. Spotify still works I discovered. When you start play from the service menu. Music plays when you leave the service menu. Only you can not control Spotify anymore because Spotify Connect stopped working.

Has anyone tried to install a Chromecast receiver on the Beomaster 5?

The version that we ran on XP was already not supported since some time, I suppose the rest of the applications moved one and this one was left behind.

Anyway, this crap is not Spotify's fault.
