Spotify Connect failures on Moode 4.4

[andyc]

Hi Andy,

Good analysis :-)

If you still have the original cache intact, try the following:

1. If u modified the launch params in playerlib.php then revert to original launch params and reboot
2. Save the credentials file

Code:

sudo mv /var/local/www/spotify_cache/files/credentials.json ./

3. Turn on librespot from moOde UI to launch it

If it launches ok then i might have to add a "Clear cache" option.

Hi Tim,

Sorry for the delay, but I have only just got round to trying this now.  Here my notes of the results:


Check Spotify running OK.

Change playerlib.php from

Code:

' --disable-audio-cache --backend alsa --device "' . $device . '"' . // r44d audio file cache eats disk space

to

Code:

' --cache /var/local/www/spotify_cache --disable-audio-cache --backend alsa --device "' . $device . '"' . // r44d audio file cache eats disk space

reboot

spotify fails to start.
log from librespot.

Code:

INFO:librespot: librespot  (). Built on 2018-10-31. Build ID: No392Ult
DEBUG:librespot_connect::discovery: Zeroconf server listening on 0.0.0.0:0
INFO:librespot_core::session: Connecting to AP "gew1-accesspoint-b-vjv8.ap.spotify.com:4070"
thread 'main' panicked at 'Authentication failed with reason: BadCredentials', core/src/connection/mod.rs:93:21
stack backtrace:

move the cache file to clear it

Code:

sudo mv /var/local/www/spotify_cache/credentials.json /home/pi/

reboot

log from librespot:

Code:

INFO:librespot: librespot  (). Built on 2018-10-31. Build ID: No392Ult
DEBUG:librespot_connect::discovery: Zeroconf server listening on 0.0.0.0:0

so all OK, pi is showing up as a spotify connect device from my tablet and i can play songs on moode using spotify connect.


So clearing out the cached credentials worked a treat.

Thanks

Andy
