Can you use Spotify with the standalone Squeezeboxes (Duets? The ones that look like an Apple TV)?

There's nothing in the menu to connect to it, and Google talks about SQB Touch and Radio with Spotify...

Thanks. Having spent some time on Google, most posts talk about the Triode plugin being in the list in SqueezeCentre - it's not on mine.

I'm also struggling to find somewhere to download it from. Any ideas?

I've been running 7.3.3.

Have just tried upgrading to 7.8.1 (and also 7.7.4, and back to 7.3.3) but I get an error on trying to start the service:

0003: The following modules failed to load: YAML::XS
0002: [14-11-15 08:48:43 ] ssctrl Command line = /volume1/SqueezeCenter/slimserver.pl --daemon --pidfile /volume1/SqueezeCenter/Cache/squeezecenter.pid --cachedir /volume1/SqueezeCenter/Cache --logdir /volume1/SqueezeCenter/Logs --prefsdir /volume1/SqueezeCenter/prefs --noupnp --user ssods --group everyone --httpport 9001
0001: [14-11-15 08:48:21 ] ssctrl Starting SqueezeCenter 7.8.1-1415964505.

It's running on a QNAP TS219. I've updated the firmware on the NAS and tried again, and get the same.

Any thoughts?

Just to close this off in case anyone else gets the same, the correct way to upgrade is:

- remove SSODS from the App page in QNAP Admin console
- download and install the Media Server 7.7.2 QPKG through the Apps page (this gives latest SSODS version)
- install any later version throught the SSODS page
- rescan the music library and re-create any favourites

I'm now running 7.8.1, and it seems to work fine.

Er, not exactly, no. When I upgraded I went to version 7.8.1, which was giving some strange behaviour when trying to activate the Triode plugin. After a bit of precision swearing I discovered that it only works on 7.7.5, so installed that last night and it's now up and running.
