My amplipi experience is new, so take this for what it’s worth, but running 0.2.1, I’m not having much success with long spotify sessions.
It will often work fine for a few songs, but then it goes haywire. For instance, I had it playing for a while today, then I paused it. I muted the zone in amplipi. I went to resume it after a while, I go to the Spotify app on my phone and the amplipi is not showing as a device. I go to amplipi.local and unmute it, but that doesn’t seem to make it show up in Spotify. Then I remove spotify from Input 1 and add it back. Now I see the amplipi output in the Spotify app. I then pick that and the Spotify app just circles and circles, no sound comes out. Just now, I was finally able to send audio back to the amplipi.
Yesterday my wife was trying to use it. A few times it stopped playing music, so then she transferred the session back to the Google Home. Then minutes later, the amplipi would pick it back up, stealing the session back from the Google Home, a song or two back in the playlist.
I previously setup spotifyd on another raspberry pi I have laying around and it seems to work without much drama, so I feel confident that the amplipi can as well.
When I look in the log file, I don’t see much of interest pointing to errors (though I do see a ton of GET /api/
messages that I’d like to filter out). Is there an editable location for the config file? I see ~/amplipi-dev/streams/spot_config.toml
, but I see device_name
and device
look generic, so I’m not sure that’s really read (I’d like to check the bitrate).
Thanks for all the work on this!
