[PROBLEM] Party Mode

[Niklas]

AFAIK the "party mode" function would have to be provided by the Spotify app itself since it's maintaining the play Queue. moOde is just acting as a headless downstream audio renderer.

Maybe you could have Spotify running on a dedicated Laptop in some convenient location so your guests could walk up and add the tracks they like to the play Queue ??

Thanks for the suggestion, that is how I had the setup 30 years ago, but when having a party outside there is difficult to have a fix spot for a laptop, so usually I bring the I pad.  However alcohol, and 40 guests, tends to be a bad combination for this setup. I definitely want to use a streamer like Moode or Volumio with peoples own mobiles.   I have tested Volumio, that worked almost perfect with the party mode plugin, and that was not provided by Spotify.  A benefit of using Moode is that the Play queue inside the streamer should be able to contain all media, DLNA or Streamed etc.    I definitely think this is a function that should be outside a specific provider, so that you can mix content.

I'm sure booze and 40 phones will work much better.

Our project simply provides the audio renderer function for Music Services. You will need to look to other applications to provide embedded music service clients.

Yes a couple of phones are better then one laptop.  But I hear you loud and clear, no problem,  I respect your work, you have come a long way with your project, installation was simple, and BT speakers was working out of the box with no problems. Native support for Spotify is however a must for me, and not just the light version so I will move on to another project. I guess I give Volumio another go, since they use the full API. Thank you for you time, maybee I come back when I can not get the BT to work, and the party is over.
