I have the same problem using the latest nightly version (1.0.1-523-gc57f588). Only about 2 seconds of each track gets played before it skips onto the next track.

Same problem on OpenSUSE 12.2, KDE 4.9.4, Clementine 1.0.1 from OpenSUSE oss repository. 5 seconds play time, then skipping to the next song up until the end of the playlist is reached,
I have this bug now as long the spotify integration exists in Clementine.

Is there a way to get this issue some more attention?

[Clementine-Issue-Importer]

_From [email protected] on February 07, 2013 14:12:35_

Yes, by writing a patch.

Anyone know how it's going about this issue? I have the same and i like the service spotify provides but I'd like to try this as it's open source and more or less like the spotify client!

Issue 3673 has been merged into this issue.

I had the same problem running v1.1.1 on aptosid amd64 (KDE 4.10.5, kernel 3.11).

This line appears in the syslog:
Sep 6 18:59:26 aptosidbox kernel: [ 2517.310198] blob[16182]: segfault at 28 ip 00007fbd968fe917 sp 00007fffb04040a0 error 4 in libspotify.so.12.1.45[7fbd96765000+25c000]

Everything works fine after deleting spotify-cache and spotify-settings. I don't know if both folders had to be removed or just one of them.

I increased my buffering time to 10 seconds and it seemed to fix things for me, a temporary fix but it makes spotify useable.

cleaning cache nor changing buffer to 10seconds worked for me.. Windows 7.. Clem 1.1.1.. Luckily grooveshark works..

Still an issue for me, I have also cleared cache, and changed the buffer. Still not working. Multiple OS, Windows 7 and 8, 64 bit

This is pretty odd. The problem came back for me, of course I deleted spotify-cache & settings, then it worked again...

I am on Windows 8.1 with exact same problems. Increasing buffering time did not help. Just playing 2 seconds and then Clementine advances to the next track :(

I ran into this issue with Clementine 1.2.3 on Windows 8.1. I saw that there had been 770 commits since 1.2.3 so I figured I might as well try master (37a6c125c0f9aa607477cf4c18e991cc0fa4d11c as of this post). Fortunately this appears to have resolved my issue, so something changed for the better in those 770 commits :)

Here Spotify skips all songs in a playlist when the computer has waken from sleep mode.
Restarting the computer fixes it till after the next sleep mode.
All other sound apps work without problems.

Windows 10 - Spotify 1.0.12.161.g64b0797c

I'm getting this with 1.3.1, but after 20-30 seconds for each song. I'm using a fresh config dir, then I log into Last.fm and Spotify, and try to play an existing Spotify playlist.
clem_spotify_skip.txt

Here is the log from launch, while I load a Spotify playlist and experience the first skip at :22 into the song, and quit.

v1.3.1 stops playing any spotify-track after 5-20 seconds on Windows 10 x64. The windows event log says that the faulting application is clementine-spotifyblob.exe and the faulting module is libspotify.dll

Maybe libspotify.dll needs updating?

Got the same problematic behaviour on OS X El Capitan as well, but didn't check the log there.

@oledid

Maybe libspotify.dll needs updating?

That would be nice, but Spotify has abandoned it. From their developer page:

Important! LibSpotify and CocoaLibSpotify are no longer under active development on any platform and are considered deprecated. If you are building applications for iOS or Android, please use the iOS SDK or Android SDK. We hope to be able to provide you with a new library for other platforms during 2016.

Until then, you can still download these libraries and provision new keys for your project. However, please be aware that we cannot offer active support or guarantee future functionality on LibSpotify or CocoaLibSpotify.

[oledid]

Ah... Hope they keep their word about a new library then.

Have you tried to download Spotify playlist to your PC? I guess maybe since the Spotify music format is incompatible with your player. You can take a try to convert Spotify to mp3 on Windows then playback again on your device.

[MilesGonzalez]

The free Spotify account doesn't support skip songs. If you want to do that, you have to subscribe to the Spotify premium, it costs $9.99. That would be a lot of money in the long run. So is there any other better way?

The answer is yet. You can convert Spotify to MP3 by using the best music converter for mac, then you can choose any players with the skip fetaures to help you to play the Mp3 files.
