Hi,

Next version will use libavcodec53, so local files will work again.

(All previous versions use libavcodec52)

Try removing flashplugin-installer to discard is using flash 11

The solution I posted tries to force spotify to use flash 10

When is the next build planned then? Meanwhile, could I fool Spotify into thinking I have libavcodec52 by symlinking libavcodec53? I guess they rarely change their API so it should work.

Sadly 52 and 53 are not binary compatible, so the only way would be to install libavcodec52.

if you use 52 and 53, 53 will be prefered.

I followed this archived thread :

https://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/spotify_mp3_decoding_on_ubuntu_oneiric_11_10#reply_701495...

to use the 52 libraries with spotify, and playing local files works again :) (ubuntu 64bits 11.10)

If you're on 32bits and want to use this trick, the 32 bits libs can be found here :

Hi Hirs, thanks for your feedback. Both removing flashplugin-nonfree from my Debian testing system and deleting the cache as you suggested allows me to start spotify without it seg faulting within seconds. Either of the two works. I guess that is fine for now.

BTW, exiting spotify through the File menu results in a Segmentation Fault. I can only tell because I run spotify from a terminal (and because it sents a crash report on next start up.)

Does spotify actually require flash? It seems like an easy solution would be to disable plugin support. See

"QWebSettings::\PluginsEnabled"

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qwebsettings.html#WebAttribute-enum

Also, it would be highly appreciated, if you could provide a tarball that contains the spotify binary and the libraries it uses. Then a wrapper script such as this could be used: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/share/spotify/libs/" /usr/share/spotify/spotify "$@

For example, I have the following libraries in /usr/share/spotify/libs/ extracted from various ubuntu packages

(libcrypto.so.0.9.8, libnspr4.so., libnss3.so, libnssutil3.so, libplc4.so, libpng12.so.0.46.0, libQtWebKit.so.4.9.0, libsmime3.so, libssl.so.0.9.8)

Thank you, this seems to have corrected all the issues I had with the previous version that I was using crashing on AMD 64bit running Linux Mint

Thanks for putting efforts in us Linux-users! Finally I can get rid of Wine on my machine. Got 32-bit client working like a charm on Ubuntu 12.01 Beta 1. x64 crashes perhaps as of the Adobe Flash plugin.

Best regards,

Good to have a new version!

Using it from ubuntu 11.10 with no problems at this moment.
