Spotify failed, couldn't access playlists, error message
as in the log quotes below.

when I looked the spotifyd process had stopped (not only can you not
see it in Windows, but in the plugin settings it shows Helper App: not
running). So I started it again (if you change the helper app logging
option and then apply change, as part of that it restarts the spotifyd
process). 
Now it seems to be running ok.

Why on earth did it stop? I've checked all the usual suspects like
atmospheric pressure, wind direction, and planetary confluences. All
ok.

same problem with Server versions 7.5.2 and 7.5.3, here is the log.
spotify plugin version 1.3.0, Win 7 etc...

11-02-23 17:16:20.5294] Plugins::Spotify::ProtocolHandler::__ANON__
(167) error fetching track data: Connect timed out: Bad file
descriptor
[11-02-23 17:16:20.5331] Plugins::Spotify::ProtocolHandler::__ANON__
(167) error fetching track data: Connect timed out: Bad file
descriptor
[11-02-23 17:16:20.5

(however these log entries are a description of the symptom not the
cause)

Wouldn't it be nice if the code was written so that an automatic
restart of the helper app was done when this situation arose? just on
the off chance that it had fallen over for some reason.


NB you also get this kind of error if Spotify is running somewhere
else. It seems you can have many Spotify's running through your
Logitech kit, but if you run it direct on your PC, at worst the plugin
will stop, at best it will skip a track. One to watch out for.
