Control volume from Android to Android with Spotify Connect

Spotify Connect is great! Since some days ago we can control the Desktop App from our mobile phone or tablet, including volume control. What's still missing is volume control from Android to Android.
In this thread it is stated that this function already works, but I have several Android devices at home, and on none of these devices does volume control with Spotify Connect work. More people have this problem, see this thread. It does work from Android to PC, which is already great.
I've contacted Spotify Support, and they confirmed that volume control from mobile to mobile doesn't work at the moment.
So, the idea is:
Please implement volume control with Spotify Connect from Android to Android!

I've been waiting for the volume control feature for a long time now. It is already supported by the Windows Desktop App. Why not on Android devices? I am using an Android TV box with the Spotify App as Spotify connect client. A great tool, but would be perfect with remote volume control. michel123 wrote:

How do I get bookmarks from Android with old encrypt code while I made a new one on PC?

Title says all

Hi!
There are 2 add-ons that can help you to visualize the Sync key in your phone, choose one of them: http://limpet.net/key/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/aboutsynckey/
But, because you already reset the Sync key in your account what you should do is to Sync the phone to the account with the new key. Firefox Sync works in the principle of adding, so if your phone has more Bookmarks, History, etc than your computer, this ones will be pushed to the computer without loosing any data.
In order to finish the process you will need to log out first from your phone's Firefox's preferences and then pair the device again following the instructions explained here: [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
Let me know if this helps.

How to control volume in multi-room setup, with different tunes in each room?

Hi,
I'm thinking of replacing my Squeezebox / SqueezeServer setup and have therefore bought two Apple TV's to experiment with.
I have a Windows Home Server on which I've installed iTunes 10.5 yesterday and I can (through RDC) use it to share music to the Apple TVs and even control the volume.
However, playing music this way is by no means what I was hoping for - I want to be able to play DIFFERENT tunes in DIFFERENT rooms.
Yes, that is possible through the use of my iPhone, using Remote to choose the iTunes server (the real server in this case).
But, and here's my issue - when playing different tunes in different rooms (using the Remote app connected to my iTunes server), how do I control the VOLUME for each Apple TV? Or should I play the different tunes for different rooms in a different way?
Kind regards
Niclas

Thanks!
Yes I hope they develop either the Apple TV or Airport express or iTunes or all into a complete multi room music listening experience just like the Squeezebox / Sonos product range. They certainly have the possibility and they did try. Except they didn't make it all the way. It's fine to be able to play the same music in all rooms, but better still would be if I could play different music in different rooms AND change the volume without the need of an additional display or anything. The nice thing would be to have an airport express connected to a small amp with in-ceiling mounted speakers in e.g. the bathroom, the kids room etc. And the kids then control their own music, the bathroom has some rain forest sounds, but when I enter it, I change to the party music I was listening to in the living room, so as to get in the mood for tonights party... And when I'm ready in the bathroom, I switch back to the rain forest sound and one of the kids are so annoyed with the pumping bass from his brothers room, that he syncs to the same music, all the while I go into the kitchen and sync the kitchen with the living room and turn up the knob another notch or two.
This is the way my house works now and I can really see it work like that with Apples products, except they haven't done it all the way yet then. Too bad - I have only used the Apple TV's two days and started to like them.

Control Volume on an AV Receiver with the Verizon P265 remote

Hi,
Is there a way to program the Verizon P265 Remote to control the volume on a AV Receiver. Previous versions of the Verizon remote were able to do this but I can't find a way to do it on the new one.
Thanks,

I need to access and use Skype from overseas, and am considering buying a a Chinese phone called the X10. It's an unlocked quad-band GSM phone - which is fine - supports GPRS & WiFi, but is not 3G. It supports Java but is not Android. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for in features that will allow Skype use, and what I should avoid? Many thanks. Steve
You probably want an Android or iPhone for use with the Skype mobile apps. Phones with the Symbian operating system - mostly Nokia phones - can also use a Skype app, but lacks some of the features available in the Android or iPhone versions. If you are able to confine your use to Skype to WiFi, not having 3G or 4G/LTE on your mobile phone is probably not an issue.
I have a Nokia N8 mobile phone, which uses the Symbian operating system. Nice phone, compatible with GSM/UMTS networks around the world. The Skype app for it is not great, but works on WiFi or 3G data networks. What I ended up doing was also purchasing an iPod Touch, which is compatible with apps for the iPhone, and a WiFI hotspot app for my N8. Then I use Skype on the iPod, connecting to the Internet through the N8's hotspot app via WiFi. It takes two devices in this case to use Skype, but I'm making use of the better Skype app on the iPod over the N8. Or I can just use the iPod if I have access to WiFi wherever I happen to be.
Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm also having trouble with the volume on Spotify Connect. I can only adjust the volume from my Motorola Moto G (android) --> Laptop (with Spotify Beta with Spotify Connect support). Everything else is not working:

Until today I didn't even know volume controle on Spotify Connect was possible, so it's great Spotify is working on this! Is there any way we can help (testing etc.) to make it work on every device? Is it known why it works on some devices, and don't on other devices?
By the way, I'm using Spotify Premium and have reinstalled Spotify like mentioned.
Hi,
I'd be tempted to suggest the below:
Moto G --> Laptop: working - Correct, connect for Android allows the controlling of or receiving of commands from devices that are connect enabled.
Laptop --> Moto G: not working - This may be because although the architecture for controlling other connect devices is enabled in the PC app. It may not yet be active on your account, so you can control the PC but until activated on your account you cannot yet use the PC to control other devices.
Laptop --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working - Android mini PC is not connect enabled AFAIK
Android Mini PC MK808II --> Laptop: not working - As above
Moto G --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working - As above
Android Mini PC MK808II --> Moto G: not working - As above
Although... good scenario's. Maybe give support a shout and see if they can check if connect is fully enabled on your account for desktop.

Problem with controlling Annotations from Excel VBA

Hi,
I have a PDF document that has plenty of sticky notes attached to it. These sticky notes have been added by multiple authors on all pages of the document. I am trying to import the contents of these sticky notes, their author and the page number to an excel spreadsheet. I am using Excel 2007 and Acrobat Professional 9.0.
This is the code that I am currently using to import the sticky notes, but the problem that I am facing is that when I run the macro -
Same sticky note contents, author and page numbers are imported multiple times
Not all sticky notes are imported, only some of them appear in the final excel spreadsheet
When I compare the number of sticky notes to that in the original PDF file, the number is correct. But the content is repeated content and that is the reason why only some of the sticky notes are imported.
This is an activity that I need to do on regular basis and the number of sticky notes that I need to import to excel may range between 100 to 200. It is really difficult to do this task manually, so an excel VBA macro could prove really helpful.

Make sure you are current with 9.x patches, just on general principles.
The code seems fine – nothing jumping out at me.
You can also look at using the JSObject methods and trying this via the JavaScript stuff – that will give you more access to the Annotation information…

Unable to mount dfs volume from Windows Server 2008 R2

I am trying to use Finder|Go|Connect to Server to connect to a DFS volume shared by a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. I get the following errors:
A dialog box that says, "There was a problem connecting to the server "server name". Contact your system administrator for more information"
Messages in the log:
PM kernel: smb_ntstatus_error_to_errno: Couldn't map ntstatus (0xc0000225) to errno returning EIO
PM NetAuthSysAgent: checkForDfsReferral: mounting dfs url failed , syserr = Input/output error
PM NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to <server name>, syserr = Input/output error
I've seen a reference to this article (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3258472) to fix similar problems but that seems only to apply to Mac-based servers not Windows servers.
I called AppleCare but they said they are unable to troubleshoot a problem originating on a Windows Server.
The Mac is running 10.7.4 but the problem happens on 10.7.3 as well.
I can connect to non-DFS volumes from other Windows Servers with no issue.

After some more digging around I found out that it works when using the cifs: prefix instead of the smb: prefix in Finder|Go|Connect to Server.
So instead of using the name smb://servername.company.com I use the name cifs://servername.company.com.

Spotify Connect not working anymore / "Unknown" method of payment

Hey everybody, I have a problem with Spotify Connect and also my account billing. I hope this is the right section to ask since my problem is cross-platform. First of all these are the devices I use to access the Spotify services:Desktop PC running Windows 8.1 ProNexus 6 running Android 5.1Galaxy S3 running Android 4.4.4(all on the latest official version of Spotify)I have a Spotify Premium Abonnement. So far so good. My major problem is that Spotify Connect isn’t working anymore for me. This problem persists since approximately mid-October 2014 (yeah I was too lazy to post before) after I came back from a trip to Ireland.It used to work all fine before and I could control my desktop client from my phone, but now nothing. The PC doesn’t show up on the phone and the phone doesn’t show up in the desktop client. To clear things up, since the problem exists I have tried a few things to get it working:Uninstalled/reinstalled the app on the phone(s)Uninstalled/reinstalled the windows application (also tried the beta back then which is now the stable release)Further I checked the following:I am definitely on the same WI-FI network (I could also still see my phone on the Devices tab before that feature was removed)I was Premium all the way, not a short period as free user that could have potentially broken the Connect featureAnd yes I’m logged in with the same account on all devicesA (good) side-effect that I think is related to the issue:I can stream (literally stream, not using the offline feature) different tracks on multiple devices at the same time without getting the “Your account is used on another device message” like it used to be before Connect stopped working for me. I shouldn't be able to do this right? Although useful I rather have Spotify Connect backMy (maybe stupid) speculations as to why the problem exists:When I created the account back in 2013 I couldn’t log in for a long time because of system internal conflicts because of the hash at the beginning of my Spotify user name “#moritz”. I contacted the support by e-mail and like after a quarter of the year I could finally log in with my new account. Maybe the hash still causes some problems?Another theory I have or better a curiosity I noticed was, while I was in Ireland my streaming stopped because of somebody else using my account, which is absolutely impossible because the only other device I used back then was my PC which was at home – alone. And of course I never gave anyone else my log-in data. Actually quite a few odd things happened using Spotify on my Ireland trip…My second problem is rather minor and doesn’t affect me negatively. Since I subscribed to Premium back in April 2014 only my first two receipts showed my Credit Card as “Visa”. Since then it says “Unknown” as method of payment. It continued to work and charges my credit card monthly but I still find it a bit strange. I have never changed anything related to my subscription or method of payment. Any ideas why this is? I really hope my first problem can be solved somehow as I’m planning to buy Hi-Fi gear that has Spotify Connect built-in and I really want to be able to control it with my phone.With kind regards,Moritz

thanks for writing back and trying to help :) By now i already got in contact with the Spotify support team and they said they'd be looking into this. hopefully it will be sorted out soon.

Spotify Connect windows client disappearing

Dear all, Is there any issues with spotify connect dissapearing after a while of inactivity ? I am trying to stream spotify to hifi system via a HTPC ( running windows server 2012 ) .Everything is working fine when the app on the server is freshly run , it is visible via various clients ( android phones and windows laptops and PC ) .Unfortunately after some period of inactivity the server't spotify connect disappears from the rest of the network and I have to log-in to the server remotely and restart spotify. During this time, the app is useable on the server and can play files locally but it is not accessible from other clients. This happens quite often, for instance if I try to connect the next day .. This is very annoying as it destroys the whole idea of headless client for streaming the music. Has anyone experienced this and is there any solution / fix for this ? Thank you very much in advance.

Alright, I'm back, sorry it took a while. I seem to have solve the problem on my HTPC. And it seems to be related to my Onkyo TX-NR509 receiver that I have an old Thinkpad (HTPC) connected to with a displayport to HDMI cable. This combo will make the computer act up in different ways since the receiver has a built in HDMI switch (one HDMI out, four HDMI in). If I for example have any audio playing on the computer with the TV turned on (driven by the receiver's HDMI out port) and then turn off the TV, the audio will disappear for a few seconds.If I have been playing music with the TV turned off and then go to turn on the TV, Spotify will show an error bar saying something went wrong. I then have to restart Spotify to make it work again. The problem triggering the Spotify Connect issue for me seems to be that if my receiver has been turned off for a while (the HTPC is always turned on with Spotify running), Spotify stops broadcast as a Connect client.I often turn off the receiver when I leave for work and during the night, and it's always after that I want to play music most of the times. I come home or get up out of bed on the weekend, turn on the receiver and find that Spotify Connect isn't working. I can turn on the TV and start the music no problem and if I restart the Spotify client, Connect starts working again. I've now left the receiver turned on during the night and when I'm at work, and since then I've been able to whip out my phone and start music on the HTPC when I get home/out of bed. I have set up the Windows power saving settings to turn off the display after a certain period of time so I have to touch the HTPC mouse before I can start Spotify Connect, but that is a personal choice. As I said before I have also made Windows Firewall exceptions for the Spotify client and I have also changed the the properties of the Ethernet network card so it won't be turned off to save power.Device Manager -> *right click on Ethernet card* -> Properties -> Power Management tab -> *uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power* Note that this option will not be available on all networks adapters.I also don't know if the firewall and power saving option has anything to do with me solving my problem. I think it's the receiver/computer combo that's causing it, but it could be two valid troubleshooting steps for anyone having the same problem. I would start to focus on the receiver though. Hope this can help someone else in this situation.

Denon AVR-X2100W - No Spotify Connect

Just purchased a new Denon receiver and everything is working OK except Spotify connect, it doesn't show as a device on the connect page. I can stream everything via AirPlay OK, but connect doesn't show. They are both running on the same network, but I wonder if there are any settings I need to consider for spotify specifically. I have tried searching the forums but haven't come up with anything so far. If anyone could point me in the direction of some help it would be much appreciated!

Hello people! I do not know if they have managed to solve the problem but anyway, I will report what I found. I've been researching a bit and worked for me, not as I would like but is meeting my need. First of course you must make sure that the AVR is properly configured on your network, after must open spotify APP on your device PC, Tablet, Mobile (windows, mac, android ... yet only one version beta allows you to control devices via PC, but will soon be working), your account will be PREMIUM to work. Once opened, the main window "now playing" the spotify click on the speaker next to the play controls, pause, forward and backward (icon spotify connect) then will open a window asking where equipment you would like to sync with spotify connect , AVR should be appearing on the list, if not it should not be compatible or has any connection problem. After this is done, you can close the APP spotify and control music on the AVR direct or control the AVR via device. I hope I have contributed in some way.
