Q: I can't find vx.x.x on download section, what do I do wrong?
A: x.x.x stands for the version number, look for that in releases.
Q: How does Spoton work?
A: It works by reading Windows API calls from Spotify to detect artist - title, plus using Spotify's media controls.
Q: Does Spoton require a Spotify API key or internet connection?
A: No. Spoton does not use Spotify API keys and it works offline.
Q: I am getting an error: $dll: unable to open 'C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\mIRC\pathtospoton\spoton.dll
A: This can show up for 2 reasons:
- You have put the DLL file in the wrong location.
- You need to install Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 (x86)
Q: I am getting an error: /echo: insufficient parameters or Artist - ??? ?????? ??? or nothing.
A: You are using an outdated version of Spoton. Please update.
I have learned more about making mIRC reading and writing for DLL-file from Wikichip
