Spotify Connect failures on Moode 4.4

[moode_user]

There are 59 open issues in the librespot github repo. A number of them have the word "crash" in their title. 

What I suggested is certainly not the solution to all of those.

Frequently a momentary interruption of Internet service is hypothesized.

This I can rule out in my setting.

you could try building from the current sources on the master branch and see if you get a more-stable result.

Starting librespot one time with the user credentials fixed the issues for me and gave me a very stable result, not only once but on two Raspberry Pi Zero Ws (first with MoodeAudio 4.3, then with 4.4), which is why I shared this observation here.

There may be something wrong with how librespot receives and handles the credentials sent by an app. A one-time manual input might possibly "fix" something there. This is pure speculation but very easy to try out. Hence I suggest that people who are experiencing the exact issues described in this thread give the suggested solution a quick try and report back. If more people find this to be working, it may help with figuring out a bug.

Instead, we can, of course, also decide to further discuss (with rather limited knowledge about the workings of librespot) why this should theoretically not be necessary or help.

I'm able to listen to Spotify for hours here

Me too, after having done what I described.
