[PROBLEM] Spotify is not using CamillaDSP volume control

[maver1ck]

Hi,
I set up Moode to use CamillaDSP volume control (main reason: loudness filter).
Unfortunately when streaming music via Spotify it's not used.

What can I do ? Is there an option to set Spotify Mixer ?
AFAIK librespot can use ALSA mixer: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/wiki/Options

Thank you.
Is there an instruction how to build image of prerelease version ?

I'd start with the Developer page at moodeaudio.org. It has links to the documentation that describes the build tooling. Just keep in mind that due to time constraints its not possible for me to help out in this area.

I tested unreleased version of Moode (with CamillaDSP 2.0.1) and I don't see any change in behaviour of Spotify Volume control.
It's still managed on librespot and CamillaDSP volume is set to 0.0 dB

There is no unreleased moOde image, but it sounds like you removed the package locks and are doing apt upgrade to grab anything that might be new in our package repo.

Thats a really bad idea and is completely unsupported because it results in missing settings and config updates that are only present on a release image or via the in-place update.

Do it at your own risk.

Thread will be closed.

Thread re-opened as a result of OP providing additional info in PM :-)

ETA: Here's the relevant PM text.

Code:

By unreleased image I meant image build from imgbuild repo (https://github.com/moode-player/imgbuild) by using build.sh script.

In that case since you built the image using the build tooling it will have all the correct parts and settings.

What exactly is the issue that you are experiencing with Spotify Connect?

I think the issue is that volume adjustments from the Spotify app are not passed through to the CamillaDSP volume control. It's something that I have also noticed.
