Spotify Connect failures on Moode 4.4

Hi Kent,

What procedure are u using to build librespot?

I tried below and keep getting permission error. I downloaded zip from master branch rather than git clone the repo.

Code:

pi@rp2:~/librespot-master $ cargo build --release --features alsa-backend
    Updating crates.io index
    Updating git repository `https://github.com/awmath/rust-crypto.git`
    Updating git repository `https://github.com/plietar/rust-tremor`
    Updating git repository `https://github.com/plietar/rust-mdns`
    Updating git repository `https://github.com/plietar/rust-alsa`
    Updating git repository `https://github.com/plietar/dns-parser`
error: failed to open: /home/pi/librespot-master/target/release/.cargo-lock

Caused by:
  Permission denied (os error 13)
pi@rp2:~/librespot-master $

Nvm. Using git clone and compile seems to be working.

Huh?

I pulled from the repo.

Looking at the first lines of your output, I have to guess this is a natural cargo update (but I don't know squat about it, so....) 

For the killer line, I was going to conjecture that they forgot to clean house before zip'ping the master branch---leaving a stale lock file. 

However, I just now downloaded the master.zip file and tried to build librespot. Clean and green-

Code:

pi@moode:~/librespot-master $ cargo build --release --features alsa-backend
  Compiling libc v0.2.40                                                      
  Compiling byteorder v1.2.2                                                  
  ...

Curious.

Regards,
Kent

PS - the latest librespot died on me yesterday while I was doing other stuff. Naturally, I didn't have it instrumented at the time and don't know if it was the same or a different problem.

Been too busy shoveling snow to focus.

Snow :-0

It will be in my backyard before long...

We got a double whammy this weekend: ca 6" in our neighborhood on Saturday night---clear and sunny Sunday so shoveled out the drive and cars; another 4" to 6" last night. Clear and sunny again this morning. I feel like Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day"!

Small suggestion: there has been a lot of updates recently. I'm compiling the last version now for testing, my last compile being from February. Especially the 22 February update is vital since, if I understand correctly, something changed on Spotify's API, so older versions don't work as expected anymore.

Will let you guys know if I find any problems with the latest version, but strongly suggest to include an update in Moode 4.5!

Since they update regularly and Spotify sometimes changes stuff on their end, it might be useful to include an 'upgrade to latest from Github' version in Moode? Which clones/builds the latest version? It saves you from doing incremental updates all the time, especially when something changes at the server end.

I see I missed a thread in the forum...

Still, adding a 'compile latest from github' button might be useful!

We are skipping release 4.5 and going straight to moOde 5 which includes latest librespot. There is a Beta 1 thread in the Support section and Beta 2 is almost ready for posting.

Hi Andy,

Good analysis :-)

If you still have the original cache intact, try the following:

1. If u modified the launch params in playerlib.php then revert to original launch params and reboot
2. Save the credentials file

Code:

sudo mv /var/local/www/spotify_cache/files/credentials.json ./

3. Turn on librespot from moOde UI to launch it

If it launches ok then i might have to add a "Clear cache" option.

I know this is old, but I just had to do this when I reset my password for spotify. Took me a while to figure out, but eventually stumbled on this.
