<p>Different spotify versions often require different configuration. Some versions run their web-helper on port <code>4371</code>, others on <code>4381</code>. Also, some use <code>https</code>, and others use <code>http</code>. You can use <code>SpotifyLocalAPIConfig</code> to configure the API:</p>
<pre><codeclass="cs">_spotify = new SpotifyLocalAPI(new SpotifyLocalAPIConfig
<p>Some Anti-Virus Software blocks the response from spotify due wrong headers.
Currently, it's confirmed for AVG's LinkScanner and Bitdefender.
Adding <code>http://SpotifyAPI.spotilocal.com:4380</code> to the URL-Exceptions seems to fix it for most users.
More infos can be found <ahref="https://github.com/JohnnyCrazy/SpotifyAPI-NET/issues/51">here</a></p>
<h2id="client-status">Client Status</h2>
<p>Calling <code>_spotify.GetStatus()</code> after connecting returns the following <code>StatusResponse</code>:</p>

public string ClientVersion { get; set; }
public bool Playing { get; set; }
public bool Shuffle { get; set; }
public bool Repeat { get; set; }
public bool PlayEnabled { get; set; }
public bool PrevEnabled { get; set; }
public bool NextEnabled { get; set; }
public Track Track { get; set; }
public double PlayingPosition { get; set; }
public int ServerTime { get; set; }
public double Volume { get; set; }
public bool Online { get; set; }
public bool Running { get; set; }
</code></pre>
