No podcast playback from playlists about spotty HOT 9 CLOSED

What spotty helper are you using? See Settings/Advanced/Spotty.

BTW: I am using a Raspberry Pi4B as a server running PiCorePlayer.

I just tested a little further. If you open a playlist containing only podcasts, the playlist does not contain any entries in LMS.

Can you share a sample URL of such a podcast? And what server.log says when LMS tries to play it?

Thanks, those links were very helpful. Turns out Spotify returns what might be invalid data:

    "track" : {
      "disc_number" : 0,
      "duration_ms" : 302002,
      "episode" : false,
      "explicit" : false,
      "external_ids" : {
        "spotify" : "https://open.spotify.com/episode/14VNn9qPQp6tfv6Y6BGsVQ"
      },
      "external_urls" : {
        "spotify" : "https://open.spotify.com/episode/14VNn9qPQp6tfv6Y6BGsVQ"
      },
      "href" : "https://api.spotify.com/v1/episodes/14VNn9qPQp6tfv6Y6BGsVQ",
      "id" : "14VNn9qPQp6tfv6Y6BGsVQ",
      "is_local" : false,
      "is_playable" : false,
      "name" : "Nachrichten vom 10.04.2020, 06:00 Uhr",
      "popularity" : 0,
      "preview_url" : "https://p.scdn.co/mp3-preview/a823823397c96644020ee044eceab2cb63d777a7",
      "track" : true,
      "track_number" : 0,
      "type" : "episode",
      "uri" : "spotify:episode:14VNn9qPQp6tfv6Y6BGsVQ"
    },

They do return an is_playable flag which is set to false. I do filter out such items because that flag should tell me whether the item is playable or not after all...

I'll see whether I can add a hack to work around this limitation and will raise a bug report on Spotify's account.

Should be worked around in 4.0.1.

This actually would have belonged in the Spotty-Plugin repository.
