The plugin suddenly stopped working... about plugin.audio.spotify

Btw I tried reinstalling, tried version 1.1.58... issue still here :(

The issue is happening here:

https://github.com/kodi-community-addons/plugin.audio.spotify/blob/master/resources/lib/utils.py#L154-L155

What's going on here is that it's trying to parse JSON results from the output of spotty using eval(), and the line isn't valid Python.

I would start with a fix by replacing the eval() call with a json.loads call. This will make it handle payloads which aren't valid Python but which are valid JSON. If that still crashes, you can catch the exception (it's a JSONDecodeError on Matrix) and go ham on logging to see what spotty is actually giving you.

Cheers!
