Cannot install spotify extension on Raspberry Pi OS 64bit

Q&A
1

I can’t seem to get all the dependencies installed. I can get mopidy installed and running, when I try to install spotify extension through apt it fails with:

Depends: python3-spotify (>= 2.0.5) but it is not installable

When trying to install python3-spotify with apt I get this:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
mopidy python3 python3-gi python3-gst-1.0 python3-minimal python3-tornado python3.9 python3.9-minimal

So mopidy gets removed and it’s counterproductive as installing mopidy later removes python3-spotify in turn

I tried installing through pip but it fails as well with errors like:

skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libspotify.so when searching for -lspotify

Any ideas how to make it work?

Mopidy-Spotify is currently broken, Spotify broke it. There’s a path to fixing it and that will also provide arm64 support (which we previously didn’t have). But the work isn’t complete yet.
