[PROBLEM] Spotify connect keeps dropping

[Tim Curtis]

You can also try running librespot in debug mode from SSH :-)

1. Turn Spotify OFF in Audio config

2. Get your default audio device name. Example below.

Code:

pi@rp3:~ $ aplay -L | grep -v ALSA | grep -w default
default:CARD=Katana

3. Run librespot with verbose (-v) logging where you substitute your Spotify name and audio device for my "RP3 Spotify" and "default:CARD=Katana" 

Code:

pi@rp3:~ $ sudo librespot -v --name "RP3 Spotify" --bitrate 320 --initial-volume 0 --cache /var/local/www/spotify_cache --disable-audio-cache --backend alsa --device "default:CARD=Katana" --onevent /var/local/www/commandw/spotevent.sh
