What happened?

Whenever I try to play a song, it stopped directly

I'm using the 0.44.1~librespot.v0.5.0-dev-67d3195 release

Relevant log output and/or the contents of /etc/raspotify/crash_report if any ( sudo journalctl -u raspotify -b and sudo cat /etc/raspotify/crash_report )

Have you upgraded to 0.44 recently or is this a new install?

The error message points to connection refused. Firewall settings ok? Are you blocking anything in /etc/hosts?

It’s a new installation.

I don’t use a firewall (only the ISP one) but I'm behind pi-hole. Maybe it’s related.

I have this problem since the beginning and looked around to find a solution, like editing the host file to bypass the spotify's resolver, without success.

Bypassing pi-hole did the trick
Thank you for your work, time and support
