Connect daemon is running, but not connected - shutting down to force restart

[sbr2004]

Hello,

I'm getting a lot of errors below for my players. They appear from time to time in spotify app (on iphone and desktop) for a short time, but vanish soon. I'm able to play from app to player while it is visible in app. Switching from wifi to cable does not help.

To expand on this, I am also experiencing the following loop in the logs that results in no players showing up in Spotify Connect:

sorry for bumping old thread, but this is the exact issue i'm getting, any update so far?

With the recent changes Spotify applied to their infrastructure I'll have to re-implement Connect mode from scratch. I therefore decided to remove that feature from the current release. Let's collect new reports once I have found a way to re-implement Connect.

Thanks for your understanding.
