Spotify2 v1.2.19
Validated on Windows 11 / Kodi 21.3 and LibreELEC 12.2.1 / Raspberry Pi 5 aarch64 / Kodi 21.3. The release retains context-menu playlist entry with fullscreen/focus, canonical pagination, repeated automatic successor-playlist playback and foreground GUI hand-off, native Back/Stop behavior, cache-first ARM performance, prefetch statistics and the HEAD/stat fast path.
Changes
Kodi 21/22 compatible; no skin-specific XML, background Container.Update, Action(ParentDir) or service-side directory navigation. Windows contains separate legacy spotty.exe authentication/token and modern spotty-playback.exe playback binaries. See RELEASES.md for checksums and platform details.

Spotify Web API Client ID
A Spotify Premium account is required to use Spotify2.
Spotify2 includes a default Spotify Web API Client ID. Optionally, you can configure your own Client ID in the add-on settings. Using your own Client ID can reduce HTTP 429 responses caused by shared Web API rate limits, but it cannot prevent all rate limiting.
Create an application in the Spotify Developer Dashboard. If the dashboard requests a Redirect URI, you can use:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback
Spotify2 uses Device Connect for authentication and does not open or depend on this callback URI.
Installation note
After installing or updating Spotify2, restarting Kodi once is recommended.
