Volumio 1.55: Spotify suddenly stopped working

Help and Support Help
1

Stange, after using Spotify for months it stopped working a couple of days ago.
It disappeared from the Browse tab for some obscure reason.
Anyone with an idea?
This what the spopd.log says:

Note the “2” missing at the start of the “connecting” log line when it fails today, does that give a clue why it won’t connect?

Hi,
Have you check /etc/spopd.conf ? (User, passed). If OK try to launch spopd -c /etc/spopd.conf

3

Thxs Balbuze,
that works, but only until a reboot.
Any idea what causes that to happen?

4

Is Spotify still activated in webUi?
After a reboot is /etc/spopd.conf OK ?

5

yes, as far as I can see, nothing changed.
Spotify is still activated, /etc/spopd.conf is unchanged but after a reboot: nothing until I start the daemon manually as you suggested.
I wonder if the user and passwd get stored anywhere else besides /etc/spopd.conf.
I’ll disable spotify completely and re-configure, see if that helps.

Ok, this is what I did:

  • disabled Spotify in the UI and rebooted
  • removed everything from /etc/spopd.conf and left one “#”
  • rebooted
  • enabled Spotify in the UI and rebooted
  • Spotify not connected, rebooted
  • Spotify connected !!!, rebooted
  • Spotify not connecting, disable, reboot, enable and then it works again

Totally unstable and does not make any sense to me.
But OK it works just now. In case it stops again I will add “spopd -c /etc/spopd.conf” to rc.local :laughing: .
Thxs for pointing me in the right direction, hope Volumio 2 will be a bit better :stuck_out_tongue:

7

A other point I noticed (but to be rechecked) , is that if you have a other device playing spotify when the system is booting ( and spopd starting) it prevents spopd to connect to spotify…

8

Being aware of that problem, my phone and ipad were already disconnected before my first post.
Instead of putting more effort in finding the real cause I will use the time to help with Volumio 2 :slight_smile:
