Restart Spotify Connect through Shell? - kosi123 - 09-20-2024

Hello everyone!

I have the following problem, I think it is widely known: Spotify Connect disappears from time to time and the Spotify Connect Renderer has to be restarted through the web UI.

I'd like to automate that process through my home server, so I'd need to simulate that exact restart button click through the raspberry pi shell.

Does anybody have any idea on how to do this?

These kinds of issues should be reported to the librespot project along with the launch string moode uses and a debug log when the issue occurs. https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues

First turn Debug logging on in System Config then restart Spotify Connect via Renderer Config
- The debug log for Spotify Connect is /var/log/moode_librespot.log
- The launch string will be in the moode startup log /var/log/moode.log

If you want to restart Spotify Connect via SSH then try the following command

Code:
moodeutl -R --spotify

Here's the help for moodeutl

Code:
pi@moode9:~ $ moodeutl --help
