[PROBLEM] Spotify Connect option disappears

[hronists]

From time to time moode Spotify Connect simply disappears from Spotify. It started with 9.0.7 (?) version. To get back Spotify Connect I opened moode/configure/renderers and restarted Spotify renderer. I thought this should be fixed in 9.1, but sadly no, today I wanted to play Spotify and the same issue - I don't see moode spotify connect option in Spotify.

It's prolly some sort of network issue but you can also test to see if librespot has crashed by running the command below when the issue occurs.

Code:

pgrep librespot

# if its not running the command won't return anything.

thanks Tim, will do next time.

It happened again and of course librespot wasn't running

Code:

normunds@rasta:~ $ pgrep librespot
normunds@rasta:~ $ moodeutl -R --spotify
Renderer restarted
normunds@rasta:~ $ pgrep librespot

normunds@rasta:~ $

I'll add librespot to watchdog for upcoming 9.1.2 release. 

Code:

- UPD: Add librespot auto-restart to watchdog

Auto-restart librestart if crash is detected. Watchdog runs every 6 seconds by default.
