Have you restarted? I had a similar issue until I read the WIKI install instructions that mention a restart is required after modifying any settings.

yep, restarted after modifying settings. after the restart a popup shows 'script error: server_addon.py'.

Could you please past or link xbmc.log file just right after this error occurs?

It seems that identification of this particular machine doesn't work in Python because creation of child processes is not allowed. The simplest solution I can think of is extending settings to allow entering machine manually or figure out better way of detection of hardware...

Well, I edited "get_architecture" so it always returns "Architecture.X86_64". However, this doesn't quite solve anything, the same script error occurs:

Raspberry Pi is built on ARM processor. The correct combination is Platform.LINUX and Architecture.ARMV6. Architecture.X86_64 will not load the correct library. Could you please try to edit and return Architecture.ARMV6 ?

I've got information about Spotlight working on Raspberry Pi so this should work.

2014-04-11T12:30:57+00:00

I know, I tried this on my x86_64 machine. I heven't tried it on my Rpi.

Tell me more about your machine. Is it Windows or Linux? What version of XBMC are you using? You can also paste the beginning of xbmc.log where some information about hardware are logged out.

I have the same issue since v.1.0 with my "The Little Black Box", which is a linux-driven XBMC 12.3 device. On startup I always get a phyton error, which I think is related to Spotlight. In case I can help you out with some additional informations, let me know.

changed LibLoader.py to return Architecture.ARMV6 on my Cubox-I, since platform.machine() it telling me i have armv7l. Seems to work like a charm now

Just wanted to share that I just installed Spotlight on RPi using OpenElec 3.2.4, which results initially in the same error 111. This error is solved after reboot as mentioned in the documentation.

Matt Tidmarsh

Just wondered if anyone had successfully for this working on Android? I'm running a wasser rom on a k-r42 android box with XbmcAtLaunch, and its ALMOST perfect, just missing Spotify from Xbmc and my life would be complete :) I get the above error when running the addin. Also get the same script error 'server_addon.py' on start up, have tried restarting. Any help gratefully appreciated!

Please link or paste xbmc.log after script error. I'm going to add an option to override detected platform with own settings to solve issues with incorrectly loaded libraries.

I'm having the same issue (Connection refused)

After configuring it (i set my username and password and didn't touch any of the default values) I have rebooted spotlight two times (once even a full power down). I had SpotiMc installed but i have deinstalled it when spotlight kept giving this error and i have rebooted again after deinstalling spotimc. Unfortunately i still get a Connection refused.

My specs:

Platform: Linux (OpenELEC - Version: 2.99.2, 3.7.4 x86_64)
XBMC (12.0-RC3 Git:aea93c3)

I did a tail -f on my log file just before activating spotlight and you can find the output here: http://pastebin.com/njBeEEzR

And i also get the server_addon.py error after rebooting my system, as other users have reported. I looked it up in my logfiles and you can find the output here: http://pastebin.com/EFu6999g

I've tried deinstalling spotlight and installing it again, but without success.

If there's anything i can test or do to help solve this problem let me know.

attached 0001-Prepend-internal-libraries-to-the-python-path.patch

This patch fixes the problem for me on Raspberry Pi. It prepends internal libraries paths instead of appending them to avoid picking up random libraries with similar names from the general system.

2014-06-05T18:04:31+00:00

Martijn Korse

This patch doesn't work for me. It installs just fine, but when i try to run it i get the connection refused again and i see these errors in my log:

I don't see how this error could be related to the patch. The error looks more like a general plugin installation failure.

Hi all, I have a similar problem with the library path: http://pastebin.com/pm2htBDH the error is quite plain: ERROR: OSError("Unable to find 'libspotify'",) I try Ianguitar's patch but not work for me.. I'm using: NOTICE: Your platform (x86_64 System.Platform.Linux) on QNAP TS-451 maybe I should modify something in /spotlight/service/util/LibLoader.py thanks all for help. Regards.

I got exactly the same problem on Raspberry Pi with the latest version of Raspbmc: [Errrno 111] Connection refused. Therefore these questions: * Should I use the experimental ARM version of Spotlight 1.2.0? * Is it better to use OpenELEC or XBian instead of Raspbmc? * What is the best way to use Spotlight on the Raspberry PI? * Is Spotify deliberately blocking Spotlight users? Because it is not a so called Spotify partner device?

I' m on OSMC September 2 Version on a Raspberry Pi 2. I get the [Errrno 111] Connection refused error as well, even after several reboots. My log says
