libspotify missing (?) on android

[fumantsu]

Hello,

I'm receiving this error message on first run. I have confirm that the file exists under linux dir (maybe needs android folder (?))

Log from Kodi.

Spotimc with the Android Spotify lib is very unstable. That's why it was not shipped on the official download package.

If you still want to give it a try, here are some instructions:

1. Grab the Android Spotify lib from here:
   https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/
2. On the tar file, locate libspotify.so.12.1.51, copy it to dlls/android/ on the Spotimc installation folder and rename it to libspotify.so.
3. Now run Spotimc as usual.

As said, past experiences with this lib where too unstable. Also note that libspotify for Android is in beta status (libspotify itself is considered deprecated).

Regards,

Mikel
