    Hi,

    My Spotify Connect service does not autostart on boot, although I have selected the „Autostart Spotify Connect Service on Boot“ option. The plugin works fine when started manually.

    Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

    Hi OOC,

    Please try to reset all settings in the Spotify Connect plugin and only activate the autostart. Please do not enter a username and password either. All input fields should be empty. What does your debug info look like when you restart your device like this? Does the Spotify Connect service start?

    Hi Mario,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    The files that were set on the Spotify Connect Plugin were: Username, Password, Output Device and Spotify/Squeezelite automatic Audio-Switch.

    I cleared the above fields with the exception of Spotify/Squeezelite automatic Audio-Switch, which I could not clear.

    I clicked the reinstall Spotify Connect Service, and rebooted .

    The Spotify Connect Service is unfortunately, still not running.

    At some point I will need to repopulate the Spotify/Squeezelite automatic Audio-Switch parameter.

    Here’s the debug information:

    Hi OOC,

    „No such device“ indicates that the sound output was not selected or it is not recognized. Please select your sound card there and try again.

    Hi Mario,

    In Spotify Connect
    1.My sound card is selected as follows. Output Device: hw:sndrpihifiberry – sndrpihifiberry, hw:sndrpihifiberry (written here as listed)

    2. Spotify/Squeezelite automatic Audio-Switch is set to the IP of the Squeezebox-Server

    3. All other settings are blank.

    All is working well, apart from the fact that on reboot, Spotify Connect does not start automatically.

    Hi Maurice,

    Please deactivate Squeezelite and remove it from the autostart. Does Spotify Connect autostart now?

    Hi Mario,

    No change unfortunately.

    I had a spare SD card, so today have completed the following steps
    Flash the sd card with m2p_buster_rpi-v253_new.img
    Installed my HiFi Berry DAC + Pro
    Rebooted.
    Selected the „Advanced: A real multiroom audio player“ option
    Rebooted
    Installed and configured the M2P Spotify Connect Plugin, including the option to restart the service on reboot
    Installed and configured the Spotty Plugin.
    Tested. Spotify is playing via my HiFi Berry DAC+ Pro successfully.

    Rebooted via the M2P Setting/Reboot Option.
    Result: The Spotify Connect Service is not running.

    Are you able to test the above to determine if you experience the same issue please?

    For completeness, here’s the debug log from the Spotify Connect Tab, as reported following the above reboot:

    Hi Maurice,

    I tested your configuration and Spotify Connect started automatically on the device. I made the following settings in the Spotify plugin: Autostart, username, password, output device, automatic audio switch. I set Squeezelite to the same output and activated the autostart there as well. Both services started automatically after a restart of the device.

    If you use the Spotty plugin for the Squeezebox server, you don’t necessarily need our Spotify Connect plugin. You can set Spotify Connect Players in the Spotty plugin too.
