Spotify on Raspberry Pi issues with Mopidy and Iris Web Server

Discussion Raspberry Pi
1

Hi All

I followed this article below to install the Mopidy software, to Stream Spotify to the device.

https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/streaming-spotify-to-your-pi

This appeared to work, but then I discovered that the Iris web server did not get installed, so was not usable. When you dig deeper, there seems to be some incompatibility with versions between Mopidy and Iris and even Python.

Does anyone know how to get this working please.

Regards,

Simon.

Simon,
If you find you cannot connect to the iris web page from another device check /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf on your pi. There is a section [http], the line following it should be
hostname = ::
if it is not “::” (I believe it defaults to something else) then you cannot access the iris website from another device.
If you have to change the file you will need to get mopidy to reload the config with
sudo systemctl restart mopidy

Hope this helps

Hi

The task to install “mopidy-iris” did complete in the script, complaining of a version issue. I have since tried to re run to confirm the exact error but now get this failure, so it won;t even run at all.
