Wonder if someone can perhaps help. I have been running Moode on a RPi 2B for the last 2 years without any problems. Until I upgraded our 3G WiFi Router to a 4G (LTE) WiFi Router a few days ago. The problem – the Spotify App on my Android phone simply does not connect to the Moode Spotify Renderer. The Spotify App actually picks up and shows the Moode Spotify renderer under Devices, but when selected it says "Connecting…" and nothing happens after that.
I don’t think the problem is with Moode or the Renderer settings, but rather related to the new Router / LAN settings. Setting up Moode to work with the new Router I first tried the Automatic (DHCP) IP address allocation. I have since setup Moode with a Static IP address. The RPi is connected to the WiFi Router with a Cat6 Ethernet cable. So there is no obvious network problem – Moode connects to the internet, my phone connects to Moode, and the Spotify App picks up the Moode Spotify renderer, but simply does not complete the connection.
I have cleared the Spotify App cache. I have re-installed the App. The App settings have not changed. I simply don’t know what to do or try next.
Here is the basic Moode System Information
moOde release = 8.2.5 2023-01-20
RaspiOS = 11.6
Linux kernel = 5.15.84-v7+ #1613
Platform = Pi-2B 1.1 1GB
Architecture = armv7l (32-bit)
System uptime = up 15 minutes
Timezone = Africa/Johannesburg
Current time = 2024-01-27 21:52:57
Host name = moode
Ethernet address = 192.168.1.2
Ethernet MAC = b8:27:eb:f4:71:d4
WLAN address = unassigned
WLAN MAC = no adapter
WLAN country = US
WLAN AP SSID = Moode
WLAN AP chan = 6
WLAN AP router = Off
I have searched this forum for similar problems and there was one user who seemed to have the same problem after changing Routers on his LAN. But he disappeared before any solution was proposed.
