Michael,
Long time user here. Not sure if this is related to the 'Spotty stops
playing' issue we've all been seeing (and the recent posts by @Laz and
@Slartibartfast) but after some experimentation I have a 'stops playing'
problem that is reproducible (for me at least!) and seems to occur on
short tracks.
My system details are listed below along with a server log. During this
log I was playing spotify:album:2J45fW4MpzNFwfSvnilbug and I was using a
Windows Spotify client to play music on a Squeezebox.
I enabled Info logging at about 13:08:42 and started track 8 on the
album
At around 13:11:33 play advances normally to track 9
At around 13:13:13 which is at the point Spotty should be getting ready
to play track 10 the Windows client 'looses connection' - ie the green
highlight dissapears. Track 10 is played by LMS but the Spotify client
knows nothing about it. Play stops at the end of track 10.
Attempts to reconnect the Spotify client to the player cause a flash of
green highlight and an immediate lost connection. There is no log entry
when this happens but using a terminal connection you can see the
relevant Spotty helper process die and then get restarted some time
later (which you do see in the log).
To get things going again I use the Windows client to advance (and
locally play a few seconds of) a track I know works. Selecting the
player then works and we're back to normal.
The problem tracks all appear to be short (less than 1:30) - not sure if
that's relevant
LMS (Version: 8.0.0 - 1590399854 @ Mon May 25 12:25:07 CEST 2020) on a
Pi3B (piCorePlayer 6.1)
Spotty helper:
/usr/local/slimserver/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/Bin/arm-linux/spotty-hf
(v0.35.0)
Players: Boom, Squeezebox, SqueezeAmp (one at a time - very seldom
synced)
Spotify Connect Clients: Usually Windows, sometimes Android and Linux.
