I hope some people can find some time to try my work on led indicator support.
Since I only test on my Oneplus One I am especially curious what happens on other phones.

Sources can be found in the add-light branch of repo https://github.com/wdehoog/repowerd
See also https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3292/support-for-led-notifications/2

How I test:
- make system writable (if you don't know how then stop here)
- edit /etc/init/repowerd.conf and comment out the line with 'respawn'
  (now if you kill the original repowerd it will not be restarted)

You can turn your sailfish device into a Spotify Connect Player using Librespot. (For as long as Spotify supports the old api.)

When building LibreSpot you get an executable that can be used as a Spotify Connect Player. It shows up in the Spotify app and webbased player. With some luck it also appears in the list received with getMyDevices (web api).

Build on OBS

On OBS you can find a package to install it on Sailfish. It also installs a systemd service file but librespot is not started automatically. To start it use systemctl --user start librespot. Edit /etc/default/librespot to suit your needs. If you do want to have it start at boot see the last lines in /etc/systemd/user/librespot.service. Note that after installation pulseaudio needs to be restarted, see below.

Mopidy on Sailfish to use Spotify

I installed mopidy on my Sailfish phone (Oneplus One with Community build 2.2.0.29). This in order to use Mopidy-Iris to be able to use Spotify.

It sort of works, haven't tested it much. Spotify can be used and the tracks are playing. But it is a lot of dirty commandline work and building and installing takes a lot of time. In the end you can start mopidy from the commandline and use Iris using a browser.

See Mopidy and Iris.

First install Mopidy and Mopidy-Iris. (as root (devel-su))

When building a sailfish os image 2.1.124 mic hangs. Consistently. After installing the packages and listing them the process just stops.

A ps auxf shows:
