`No route to host` error with spotifyd 0.3.3 build

[chenrui333]

Description After building spotifyd 0.3.3, I got some No route to host error, while 0.3.2 artifact gives me the right results.

relates to Homebrew/homebrew-core#90676

To Reproduce

• install dependencies rust, dbus, portaudio
• cargo build cargo install --no-default-features --features dbus_keyring,portaudio_backend
• And then run spotifyd --username homebrew_fake_user_for_testing --password homebrew --no-daemon --backend portaudio

Expected behavior Should be the same error output as 0.3.2

Any update on this thread?

Hi!

Both the logs for 0.3.2 and for 0.3.3 show the HostUnreachable unreachable. Are you able, to manually ping ap.spotify.com?

As for the homebrew update PR, you linked to: I think, the issue here is rather that spotifyd no longer fails on bad credentials, which the brew tests have assertions for. I created a PR, which tries to address this problem.

Hope, this helps somehow!

[chenrui333]

I can manually ping

$ ping ap.spotify.com

The error messages was when I tested in my local though.

[eladyn]

I'm not sure, what you mean by "local"?

Do you know, wether brew is doing some kind of containerization that would prevent spotifyd from reaching spotify?

[HeySora]

This issue is unrelated to bad credentials. I am experiencing the same error message, but everything still works as intended, so I wonder what is actually failing?

Ah, right! Thanks @HeySora, you got me on the right track.

The issue @chenrui333 mentioned here is primarily that spotifyd has been started with invalid credentials, which results in a bug in spotifyd and leads to a crash[^1]. This is fixed in this PR.

So the error sending packet Os { code: 65, kind: HostUnreachable, message: "No route to host" } errors indeed don't seem to influence spotifyds ability to function.

Actually, they probably originate in libmdns (a library that librespot uses to advertise itself on the network, IIUC). If you'd like to track that problem down, you should be able to

1. run librespot on its own (see QUICKSTART); this should produce similar logs
2. run librespot with RUST_LOG=libmdns=trace as an environment variable, which should then print many messages from libmdns, which might help with this.

Edit: I might as well be enough to turn on verbose logging in spotifyd via --verbose and look especially at the messages before such errors. (HostUnreachable)

However, I'm not sure, wether this is suitable to investigate in this issue.

Again, thank you both for your help!

[HeySora]

Thank you for the details @eladyn 😊

I ran spotifyd with --verbose for a short while, starting two songs, and getting this error multiple times.

Every single time it happened, these exact lines appeared (I just censored part of my IPv6 prefix for privacy)

found interface Interface { name: "en0", addr: V4(Ifv4Addr { ip: 192.168.1.34, netmask: 255.255.255.0, broadcast: Some(192.168.1.255) }) }

And well, indeed, trying to contact that IPv6 multicast address seems to be causing issues.

❯ ping6 ff02::fb

^C
--- ff02::fb ping6 statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss

So if I had to guess, spotifyd's ability to function would be affected in an IPv6-only environment.

I would not mind sending the entire logfile if it can help! I would simply need confirmation of which sensitive parts should be censored prior to uploading (like potential authentification tokens?)

[eladyn]

Hmm, that is interesting. I'm currently guessing that this is something specific to macOS, since ff02::fb should be the standard multicast IPv6 address and I have been able to reproduce this on a different Mac.

Would you be able to try the example provided by libmdns? It should be as easy as cloning the repo and running cargo run --example register. To see the exact same logs, you'd need to increase the loglevel that is defined here to libmdns=trace. If the example shows the same behaviour, it might be worth reporting that issue over there.

Thanks for your help with investigating!
