The innuOS v2 system does not feature a full Spotify service integration (similar to TIDAL or Qobuz integrations). However the innuOS system does incorporate the Logitech Media Server (LMS) software which does allow to use of Spotify Connect with Innuos Servers by enabling a plugin. This means the Innuos Server will be accessed as a Spotify Connect device via the Spotify app and you are able to use it to play trough your Innuos Music Server. It will not work with the innuOS player or the Innuos Sense app unfortunately. This article describes how you can enable that plugin within LMS to enable the use of Spotify Connect.
Requirements
- Innuos server/streamer updated with innuOS v2.0.x or higher;
- Spotify app working on a supported control device or computer;
- innuOS Roon server integration must be disabled;
- innuOS LMS server plugin supporting the Spotify service must be enabled.
How to enable the LMS Spotify plugin
1. The Spotify Connect service works through a dedicated plugin on the Logitech Media Server (LMS) server software within the innuOS system. You are required to enable and configure this plugin. Please refer to the following dedicated knowledge base article on how to access the LMS settings and the plugins page. When done come back to this one and follow the next steps.
