I want to say "me too" here. I have 4 moode units each at different locations running on dedicated RPi4B's with Boss2 DACs, I have used at least one of them virtually every day with Spotify for years, and for at least a month now, Spotify connections drop constantly, sometimes in 2 minutes, sometimes but rarely as long as 20. I know my networks well and nothing has changed, all the more surely not in all locations simultaneously. Previously, connections would last indefinitely. If I accidentally left one playing at the end of the day having turned off the amp, it would still be playing the next day when I turn the amp on.
I'm not sure whether the problems began with a Moode update or if so which one, as there have been quite a few in v9.x All machines are on 9.1.2 now.
After the connection is dropped, it is interesting that after re-selecting the moode device, play resumes immediately, without a separate step of pressing "play." I have not tested to confirm, but I think this also happens when librespot loses its upstream connection temporarily. I'm using the upstream connection regularly on my computer and there is no problem with the upstream connection. Of course there are occasional glitches, but again they can't be happening so consistently at several locations over many weeks, without my noticing other upstream issues. The only thing in common is all upstreams are Comcast; could it be that Comcast is blacklisting Spotify servers? Audio traffic bandwidth is going to be trivial compared to video so I can't see why this would happen, I'm just thinking of plausible reasons which fit the evidence.
I've just turned on debug logging and will monitor. I see in a recent release librespot is under watchdog, but I should be seeing that get caught and restart, right? I don't think that's happening because I don't think play wouldn't resume immediately on re-connect.
