Enable Multiple accounts with same device with multiple spotifyd instances

[maurice-schleussinger]

As I can't comment on #5:

It is possible to use multiple instances of this add-on to archive multiuser "support". It creates overlapping sounds which is fine for me.

So, what I did was creating my own add-on repository (https://github.com/maurice-schleussinger/repository, up to date as of 01.03.2019) and add just another instance of this add-on.

It would be nice to have at least this dirty hack workaround out of the box (you could spawn multiple instances of spotfiyd if there are multiple username/password blocks in the config for example.

I didn't take a look into the code but it I suppose this is based on a similar approach as https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify which is a wrapper for Spotify Web Connect. The problem is that the underlying library (librespot) does not support this but this has been discussed there as well dtcooper/raspotify#51

Since the codebase the add-on uses does not support this, there is nowhere for me to go with this request. Therefore, closing it.

Nevertheless, thank you for your suggestion.
