Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty Crashing - Help
I can conform the behaviour with "Baby Shark" spotify:track:5ygDXis42ncn6kYG14lEVG Playing directly from the LMS WebGUI. The song plays with 160 and 320 kbs while it fails with 96 kbs. Bitrate was changed in the Spotty Settings. schlenn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112638 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

All of my digging was focused on SpotifyConnect - it turned out you could see similar stuff in LMS Spotty by tweaking the bit rate in the GUI. I've extracted the key bits I put together and the original links: - I tested SpotifyConnect with the java-librespot client and a windows version of librespot. A lot of the short track problems went away, suggesting at least part of the problem is in LMS space. https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111923-Announce-Spotty-4-0-integrate-local-library-with-your-Spotify-collection-(LMS-8-)=982323=1#post982323 - In the following post, I tested spotty from the command line, and was able to play all of pink flag without trouble. https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111923-Announce-Spotty-4-0-integrate-local-library-with-your-Spotify-collection-(LMS-8-)=982325=1#post982325 - Changing the bitratre in Daemon.pm - a hack that makes a lot of short tracks work in spotify connect mode.

Playing within LMS is where you see the difference between 96kbps and 320kbps. Tracks less than 25 seconds fail at 320 and tracks less than 1 min 40 seconds fail at 96.

As suspected playback fails in the Windows Spotify app as well. The Windows app acts just like the Android app but both act slightly differently to playing tracks within LMS. For example Arcade Fire - Everything Now (continued) which is 46 seconds long plays within LMS at 320kbps but does not play from the Android or Windows app via connect. Oh, I was wondering: is this issue limited to Connect mode? Android failing is an issue that has been addressed in librespot just a few days ago. I guess it would help with the Windows version, too.

It seems that tracks shorter than around 25 seconds fail at 320kbps while this increases to around 1:40 at 96kbps when played from within LMS. I remember playing the first track on the Billy Eilish album which is 15 seconds a few months ago so this is a relatively new issue. The issue you linked to on GitHub seems to imply that playing from Windows worked correctly but I think that fails as well. I will test again later.

It's not a proper fix - it's a change that makes things better to a variable degree, which seems to depend on the weather, network connectivity and the mood spotify and LMS are in. Some days, I'll run for hours without issues, others not so much. As slartibartfast says, we need to wait for Michael to return (and have the spare time, and the enthusiasm to fix ...).

It was consistent in behavior with the songs and which it would play vs. not. As a bit of change to when I started this thread, I'm now running LMS on a Pi as I had given up on the Windows version, although will likely spin it back up as I now know more. lookstoomuch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70435 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112638 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Ah OK I think you are correct. Funny...I have been recreating this issue by playing songs by Pinkfong, i.e. Baby Shark. I concluded it was due to bouncing between playlists and now I see all the Pinkfong songs are around 1min 30 secs. And talk about annoying having to hear these songs over and over from my phone when the spotty crashes lookstoomuch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70435 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112638 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty Crashing - Help
Guess I was a bit too optimistic. Still crashing. Seems to happen more when I jump to different playlists vs. clicking around in the same playlist. Anyone, any ideas? lookstoomuch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70435 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112638 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty Crashing - Help
Pretty sure I have resolved the problem. Did 2 things: - Gave application level firewall Allow rule to C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\Spotty\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\spotty.exe - Disabled IPv6 on all adapters Pretty sure it was the firewall. Spotify app on the phone responds much quicker and I've been able to bounce around songs like crazy with no crash thus far. Super happy, can't believe it took this long. Not sure if there's a Sticky on Spotty but would be useful to add this. lookstoomuch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70435 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112638 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
