[PROBLEM] Spotify connect keeps dropping

[oboote]

Update over in other thread:

Update:
2 days later, no drop-outs. That's me converted.

NOTE: This does NOT fix librespot crashing when there is a network interruption; however THAT crash has log entries and can be watched/restarted (I'll build that into the script later).

Here's the script I'm using to start/restart/stop librespot:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

launch_librespot () {
  screen -dmS librespot `which librespot` \
  --name osmc \
  --bitrate 320 \
  --initial-volume 50 \
  --enable-volume-normalisation \
  --disable-audio-cache \
  --verbose \
  --username oliver.boote.dl \
  --password nm3^h8g%FbuP \
  --backend alsa
  #--device plughw:0 \
  #--onevent /var/local/www/commandw/spotevent.sh
  echo "librespot started"
}

if [[ "$1" == "start" ]]; then

  if [[ -z `screen -ls | grep librespot` ]]; then
    launch_librespot
  else
    echo "librespot is already running"
  fi
  exit 1

elif [[ "$1" == "restart" ]]; then

  if [[ -z `screen -ls | grep librespot` ]]; then
    echo "librespot not running"
  else
    echo "restarting librespot"
    kill -9 `screen -ls librespot | grep librespot | cut -d "." -f 1`
    screen -wipe | 1>/dev/null
  fi

  launch_librespot
  exit 1

elif [[ "$1" == "stop" ]]; then
  if [[ -z `screen -ls | grep librespot` ]]; then
    echo "librespot not running"
  else
    echo "stopping librespot"
    kill -9 `screen -ls librespot | grep librespot | cut -d "." -f 1`
    screen -wipe | 1>/dev/null
  fi
  exit 1

else
  echo "function: ./librespot [start|restart|stop]"
fi
