LibreSpotUWP v1.0.3

Release Notes

In this release, I have added:

  1. Live Tile support (with ability to click-through on the random tiles):
  • Now Playing
  • Recent Songs
  • Recent Artists
  • Recent Playlists
  • Recent Albums
  • Random Artist
  • Random Playlist
  • Random Album
  • Random Spotify Playlist
  • Profile
  1. Bugfix - Prevent services from initialising more than once (if user opens app twice, via live tile or app draw etc)
  2. Refinement - Improved Media Bars (narrow and wide layout) content updates
  3. Bugfix - Improved offline launch reliability
  4. Bugfix - Fixed ANSI text encoding issues (migrated to UTF-8)
  5. Sign-in improvement - Spotify Free accounts are now detected and rejected with a clear Spotify Premium requirement message
  6. SMTC Refinement - SMTC now uses offline album art cache instead of remote URLs
  7. Bugfix - Prevent repeated API usage when offline (caused skipping issues and stuttering in songs)
  8. Refinement - Massively improved reliability during offline playback, so playback does not get interrupted during poor internet connections
  9. Added settings to control online to offline transition playback - Random song, next available song and wait for internet
  10. Optimised problematic API calls with backoffs
  11. Refactor - Improved consistency of all logging within the app

I have done my best to avoid leaving any rough edges (especially compared to the prior beta release) - However I am human! If you come across something, please do send feedback so I can improve it! Otherwise this should be a much more refined experience :-)

To install, make sure you install the dependencies provided first in the ZIP archives.

For Windows 10 Mobile (or CoreOS-based versions of Windows)

You might be able to install the appx simply by opening it - Make sure to do the dependencies first! If that does not work then try this:

  1. Open Windows Settings app.
  2. Enable Device Portal and then open the URL displayed. Register the device using the code on screen if required.
  3. In the deploy page, add the appx as the package to install and all the dependencies in the dependencies section.

How do I login?

To log in, you'll need to use LibreSpotUWP Login Helper to sign in to Spotify. In the LibreSpot app, you'll see the option to "Sign in with QR Code" - Use this and scan the generated QR code from the LibreSpotUWP Login Helper app. Alternatively use the "Sign in with text" option if you are on a PC! Then copy the text from the LibreSpotUWP Login Helper app.

This version of LibreSpotUWP is compatible with LibreSpotUWP Login Helper v1.0.0.3.
