I was actually thinking to upgrade next. Maybe on a separate SD card is a good idea, but it looks like it can be done under Configuration settings without flashing to a SD card again? Never tried that before.
I will report back.
By my count moOde 8.3.7 is the 8th release since 8.2.5. The relnotes.txt file shows over 100 UPD entries in that span, where an UPD entry denotes a significant bump in code, including two bumps to the version of the included shairport-sync code and one to the Linux kernel.
It isn't clear that any of these changes would cause your problem to go away but it's always good to be up to date. Besides bug fixes, there's some nice new features.
I'm not sure you can use the in-place-update process to get your current player all the way up to 8.3.7 but even if you could I'd recommend you keep your existing uSD card safe and flash moOde 8.3.7 to a new card.
My only caveat is that changes have occurred in the webUI as Tim refactors his code. There has been a reorganization of the placement of some of the configuration options. It's pretty logical, actually, but can be confusing if you've got the old scheme memorized.
There's a help page on the Spotify website which discusses Spotify Connect. A couple of their suggestions look like they might possibly apply to your case...or not.
