Spotify connect stopped playing audio - ovizii - 09-04-2024

I didn't use it for a week, now when I open spotify on my Android and try streaming to my moode instance, it connects, moode shows that spotify is connected but it simply skips through the play list without playing anything. 

I tried rebooting the router, moode, my phone, nothing helped. Deleted the credential cache on moode as well as the spotify cache on my mobile.

Found other recent threads describing the same problem but with pcp and not moode.

btw. I can stream via UPnP and play radio stations from modde's GUI.

Would appreciate some kind of feedback.

This describes exactly my issue: https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/logitech-media-server/1723569-spotty-stopped-streaming-audio-since-yesterday and another one: https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/anyone-having-issues-with-spotify-connect-at-all.295865/

Same issue, it was still working on Sunday.

I had similar symptoms about a year ago. My solution was full reboot, i.e.everything in the stack. Turn off your moOde players, turn off your spotify clients devices (phone, pc, whatever), turn off your router, wait five minutes then turn them all back on.

I assume the issue was some corruption in credentials or some "memory" of an old session somewhere in the stack.

I have the exact same problem. On all moodeaudio Pis from both Android and iPhone mobiles. Have restarted everything incl. wifi router. Will try "turn everything off for five minutes"

I have a similar issue with Spotify, all of a sudden I cannot get playback to the otherwise perfect system. Restarted a few times to no effect.

In addition I see Spotify changing tracks itself, however without actually playing music. When I switch back to the phone it behaves normally again and music plays from the phone itself.

Internet radio and local music is playing fine via the moOde system. Any changes in Spotify connect that anyone heard about?

Update: just tried with all three of my moOde players, Spotify does not play on any of them. I don't think it's a moOde issue, but rather something that changed on the Spotify (connect) end....


RE: Spotify connect stopped playing audio - the_bertrum - 09-04-2024

Yup, just tried it myself and while I can get it to connect to an ethernet connected moOde player with the client saying the track is playing, there is no sound. With wifi players, I get to 9 seconds of no sound before either next track, or restarting the current track. I used both the android app and the linux desktop Spotify clients, same issue.
I'll see what "support" I get from Spotify.

We are not alone...

There's a bug raised here which probably explains the behaviour being reported in Moode. I've not had a chance yet to try compiling a version from the dev branch of the code, but it seems that's what's required...

Pretty sure it's a Spotify problem, it's affecting Samsung TVs as well:

RE: Spotify connect stopped playing audio - new_bloke - 09-04-2024

I can confirm that compiling the librespot executable from the dev branch of the code (at commit 2ea7436) resolves the issue for me. I also discovered that older versions of the Spotify client (for me on Mac) seemed to cause a different authentication error. This probably explains why the Spotify community support folks are asking if the affected TVs are due a firmware update...
