    Hello,

    I’ve been struggling now for ages to have my multi room setup work flawlessly..
    I have 4 PI 3B+ boards with Max2play AMP2 hats. Trying to run Spotify Connect plugin to be able to play music throughout the house (Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom, Living room)

    1st I had trouble playing music because it always stopped and was de synced with the Spotty plugin and luckily or unluckily I have found the native Spotify Connect plugin.
    The issue what I have is it keeps stopping the service although I’ve tried updating max2play, restarting the complete system (all PIs), reinstalling the plugin etc.
    If I restart (kill or stop and start the plugin) it pops in my spotify so I can send music to it. Then after a few minutes (could not identify a root cause.. sometimes 5 mins sometimes 15) it disconnects and when I check the UI the spotify connect pluging is stopped and I have to manually start it again.

    PI is not restarted in this time, although I have the plugin set at autostart.
    I’ve also tried to set the -v option to see verbose logs.. but it does not show a freaking thing and I’m clueless where to check.

    Any idea how to troubleshoot?

    I have the same problem, except I do not have a multiroom setup. Spotify connect does not start on reboot and when I start it and then attempt to „kill“ spotify connect, the response is that it does not seem to be running.

    Hi there,
    could you solve this problem? I have the same problem since more than half a year. Reinstalling max2play did not help, librespot does always complain about wrong authentication. In the librespot-Github there is a discussion about some problems with auhtentication which seems to target the same issue. Unfortunately the librespot version in max2play is an older one, so I guess, this might be one reason of the problem.

    Upgrading the linux did unfortunately not work either, but finished with error-messages, so until now no idea on how to install perhaps a newer librestop-version for test. Beside this debian buster is outdated, so perhaps newer librespot versions does not work with it either.

    Everyy solution to get spotify work again would be very, very nice 😉
