Problem: Can't use Spotify connect..
#1
Hey folks!

I'm new to the Moode community and I need your help. I've installed Moode on my RpiZero but I can't get Spotify connect to work.
Can someone help me?

- Yes I have premium
- Yes I have enabled the Spotify Service

To start troubleshooting, lets verify a few things via SSH.

1. Confirm that librespot is running.
Code:
pgrep -l librespot


2. If it is running then lets see what audio device its been configured to use.
Code:
aplay -L | grep -v ALSA | grep -w default

3. Post contents of moode.log
Code:
cat /var/log/moode.log

Thanks for the quick response! This is what I get:

Hi, 

The output below indicates librespot crashed due to a odd audio device descriptor.

Code:
When I do: pgrep -l librespot I get nothing.
pi@moode:~ $ aplay -L | grep -v ALSA | grep -w default

default
:CARD=Device

The mixer name for the analog out, on-board audio device on the Pi is 'PCM'.
Code:
20181017 162436 worker: Audio output (On-board audio device)
20181017 162436 worker: ALSA mixer name (Speaker)

Are u using an HDMI audio connection?

I have a similar, StarTech-branded USB-audio adapter which is detected by Linux as

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller
...<other USB devices>...

Never used it with moOde before but I tried it just now and it works just fine with both the MPD renderer (playing radio stations, music tracks on NAS, etc) and the Spotify renderer. 

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ pgrep -l librespot
32190 librespot

pi@moode:~ $ aplay -L | grep -v ALSA | grep -w default

default:CARD=Device

pi@moode:~ $ grep Audio\ output /var/log/moode.log

The log output shows that card 0 (On-board audio) has been configured in MPD config.
Code:
20181017 162436 worker: ALSA card number (0)
20181017 162436 worker: Audio output (On-board audio device)
20181017 162436 worker: ALSA mixer name (Speaker)

Card 0 is the Pi on-board analog/HDMI out
Card 1 would be USB audio device

If its a USB device then open MPD config screen and set Audio device to "USB audio device" then APPLY.

It doesn't show this USB device in the web UI, only my on board audio, can I also configure this via SSH?

On the MPD config screen if "USB audio device" is not listed in the Audio device dropdown it means that Linux was not able to recognize / configure the USB audio device for some reason.

USB audio devices are automatically managed by Linux. Linux either recognizes and configures the device or it fails. I'm not aware of any SSH methods to force configuration.
