same problem here

[SanielDous]

Same problem here. This suddenly occurred. No changes made to the system.

[dtcooper]

Does latest release resolve this?

[giggywithit]

Does latest release resolve this?

nice seeing you.
I only occasionally update upgrade and will say that for whatever reason, the latest actually became unuseable.
I also run shairport alongside and am using it instead at the moment..
dmesg revealed that raspotify would open and close the audio device repeatedly until it gave up after maybe 30 sec.

[kimtore]

@giggywithit will you please post those logs from raspotify and dmesg?

[giggywithit]

Initially, I did an update and had the same issues, then did a full reinstall and still have the same issues...
The only thing I think it might not like is my config?

service raspotify status
○ raspotify.service
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit raspotify.service is masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)

For whatever reason, this time there was no event in trying to open the audio device... But this is the way it looked the other day.. dmesg

It would be helpful if you post your config if you think the config is the problem.

Also missing logs from raspotify itself. These dmesg messages don't look like there is an issue really.

[giggywithit]

It was the config
For some reason, it didn't like the
LIBRESPOT_AUTOPLAY=
being left empty or something...
I just commented it out and it's working so far

cat /etc/raspotify/conf
LIBRESPOT_QUIET=
LIBRESPOT_ALSA_MIXER_DEVICE="hw:0"
LIBRESPOT_MIXER="alsa"
LIBRESPOT_ALSA_MIXER_CONTROL="Digital"
LIBRESPOT_NAME="COX-GhostAmp"
LIBRESPOT_BITRATE="320"
LIBRESPOT_INITIAL_VOLUME="20"
LIBRESPOT_VOLUME_CTRL="cubic"
#LIBRESPOT_AUTOPLAY=
LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_AUDIO_CACHE=
LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_CREDENTIAL_CACHE=
LIBRESPOT_ENABLE_VOLUME_NORMALISATION=
TMPDIR=/tmp

[giggywithit]

Alright, now I have discovered that I have the same issues as the above users.
My player will start and stop on it's own, usually stop, mid-song or otherwise..
My amplifier is controlled by audio being used or not, and at times it will just turn on all by itself.
I have also experienced the underrun conditions as above..
raSpotify is useless at the moment, had to uninstall

[hbsagen]

Had to reboot to get it working again.

[kimtore]

Please try the 0.45.0 release which contains librespot 0.5.0.

[giggywithit]

Please try the 0.45.0 release which contains librespot 0.5.0.

Seems good so far..
Thank you
