I am moving [this discussion (on Github)](https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-spotify/issues/16#issuecomment-152752377) to this forum.

To recap briefly:  
I installed the Mopidy-Spotify-Web extension ([https://github.com/lfcabend/mopidy-spotify-web](https://github.com/lfcabend/mopidy-spotify-web)) on a Pi MusicBox (using `pip install ...`) and authenticated it successfully. I can see the plugin (under the ‘Browse’ menu-item in the Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient) and it loads ‘Your Music’ from Spotify correctly. However, when I try to play a song my Raspberry Pi becomes unresponsive.

My main question is: **Has anyone else tried / used this (on a Pi MusicBox installation)? And if so… can you help me with this?**

Thanks in advance ;-).

No, I’ve not tried it. Does it support mopidy 0.19.5?

I think so…  
According to the developer these are the dependencies:

- `Mopidy >= 0.19.0.` The music server that Mopidy-Spotify-Tunigo extends.
- `Mopidy-Spotify >= 1.2.0.` The Mopidy extension for playing music from Spotify.
- `Spotipy.` A library for accessing the Spotify web-api.
- `requests.` HTTP for Humans.

Maybe another good starting point to get this working is to increase the log output mopidy generates? But I cannot figure out how to do this with Pi MusicBox. It runs mopidy [as a service](https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/debian/#differences-when-running-as-a-system-service) right? So how should I specify log options when starting the server?

Revert the logging config in /etc/mopidy/ to default and restart.

Hmmm… I edited `/etc/mopidy/logging.conf` to match the version of the develop branch in the Pi MusicBox repo:

```
[loggers]
keys = root

[handlers]
keys = fileHandler

[formatters]
keys = simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
#level = INFO
level = WARNING
handlers = fileHandler

[handler_fileHandler]
class = FileHandler

#level = INFO
level = WARNING
formatter = simpleFormatter
args = ('/var/log/mopidy/mopidy.log',)

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format = %(asctime)s - %(levelname)-8s %(message)s
datefmt =

```

However, the log output (to `/var/log/mopidy/mopidy.log`) stays the same. I cannot see why the Pi becomes unresponsive.

I meant revert it to the normal mopidy content. So comment out the changes  
and uncomment the original values.

Ok… I’ve updated my logging config to match your file (@kingosticks). But I still can’t see any errors?
