spotify not working anymore

[grosseskino]

For a couple of days snapserver on raspberry pi 3 with spotify stopped working. Today I had spare time to look further into the issue.

When I try to play songs on snapcast, the tracks are skipping and no music is played.

that keeps on for a long time. were there any updates to the spotify encryption? haven't updated the pi for a long time as everything was working fine :/

I turned on debug on snapserver and here's the log:

From where did you take these logs? This format looks unknown to me Aug 9 22:31:29 hass snapserver[587]: Please start librespot from command line and check if it is working and update to the latest librespot version. If it's not working, open a bug at librespot. I'm using librespot-java for the last two weeks, which is working. This is no recommendation to switch to librespot-java, but only an evaluation of mine.

This might be https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/972

You should ensure you are running the latest version of librespot (which you should always do before posting issues).

so after some research i figured out that the spotify encryption has changed. previously i compiled librespot myself.

i now installed cargo: curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh the the current librespot (0.4.2): cargo install librespot afterwards moved the binary:

mv /usr/bin/librespot /usr/bin/librespot-old
cp /root/.cargo/bin/librespot /usr/bin/librespot

and it works :)

(the logs were from syslog)

News to me but glad it works
