I've just started testing MoOde < and cannot get the Spotify renderer to work.

From my iPhone, I can connect to the web interface, and it works fine.

My iPhone can also see other Spotify connect devices on the network.

When I ssh into the box and run "sudo ps -x" it seems to be running?

Code:
?        I<     0:00 [kworker/0:2H-mmc_complete]

?        I      0:00 [kworker/0:1-events_power_efficient]

?        I      0:00 [kworker/0:2-events_power_efficient]

?        S      0:00 sudo librespot --name Moode Spotify --bitrate 160 --format S16 --initial-volume 100 --volume-ctrl log --cache /var/local

?        S      0:00 librespot --name Moode Spotify --bitrate 160 --format S16 --initial-volume 100 --volume-ctrl log --cache /var/local/www/

?        S      0:00 sleep 6

pts/0    S+     0:00 sudo ps -x

pts/0    R+     0:00 ps -x

I don't see anything suspicious. Try turning it off in Audio Config and then running from the cmd line with -v. It will print out debug info.

Code:
sudo librespot -v --name "Moode Spotify" --bitrate 160 --format S16 --initial-volume 100 --volume-ctrl log --cache /var/local/www/spotify_cache --disable-audio-cache --backend alsa --device "_audioout" --onevent /var/local/www/commandw/spotevent.sh

Have a look at COMPONENT 4B in the Build Recipe.

@bpgoa

<<ETA: sorry, auto fill-in grabbed the wrong user handle first time out>>

FYI, I don't recall any other user saying they couldn't discover the moOde Spotify Connect service from their iOS device.

In my case, the Spotify app on my iPad 9.7 and on my iPhone SE (both running iOS 14.7.1) work just fine against my moOde players. So do the Spotify app on my Google Nexus 6P phone (Android 11) and the Spotify app on my Linux laptop.

Kent

@Tim Curtis - thanks - found the section, and you aren't specifying, so will try and find out what the default is.

@TheOldPresbyope thanks - it's not just from my iPhone, which by the way finds other AVAHI devices (including the LMS instances of Spotify connect which I believe use the same code) but also from the web client, which again finds all the other Spotify renderers (two TV's, LMS) . It may be network related, hence trying to find out what exact protocol it's using.

FWIW, it's on a pi zero w (arm v6) in case that makes a difference.

Any other troubleshooting ideas welcomed!

Network related? Seems likely, actually, which means poking around moOde's logs may not tell you anything.

There's been various posts in places like the Spotify Community Forum regarding Spotify Connect's use of mDNS and SSDP.

I have no reason to expect an RPi Zero W to behave differently, but all mine are packed away ATM so can't confirm. I have only an RPi 4B in service here in our hotel room.

As an aside, are you running a virgin moOde installation or have you installed other software on the RPi such as a firewall, PiHole, etc.?

Regards,
Kent

ok....

I replaced the Raspberry Pi Zero with a pi 3......

It works!

Long story...

Firstly, the Pi Zero was a completely clean build and the only things changed were through the configure interface. DAC is the simple PhatDAC. It also has a rotary encoder and a small OLED running over IIC. I plugged the PC and pi zero into a dumb switch and tested from the web client to the device. The web client could not find it.

I built a new installation on a Pi 3. Changed the DAC and hey presto. It all worked.
