Solved: Spotify stopped working
#1
Spotify stopped working on my moOde (raspberry pi 4) after the march 8th Spotify "incident". Spotify clients connect ok, but there is no sound.

Playing local flac files and everything else (eg. airplay) seems to work normally.

I have tried to reboot, clear the Spotify cache, turn librespot on and off.

When I log in via ssh, I cannot find any logfiles, so instead I turned Spotify off, and copied the Spotify (librespot) command into the command line instead:

This is the result:

Code:
root@moode:/# librespot --name Moode Spotify --bitrate 320 --format S16 --mixer softvol --initial-volume 100 --volume-ctrl log --volume-range 60 --cache /var/local/www/spotify_cache --disable-audio-cache --backend alsa --device _audioout --onevent /var/local/www/commandw/spotevent.sh

What could be wrong?

Ok, so I found a solution at this link:
https://community.volumio.org/t/spotify-...gs/54513/4

It seems to be a Spotify thing in some countries (I'm in Denmark).

If I add "104.199.65.124 ap-gew4.spotify.com" to /etc/hosts the problem goes away...

Maybe it has something to do with a Spotify change due to the sanctions against Russia?
