Device not appearing on the devices list #582
-
|
Hey, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 as my device and I want to run spotify from there on a LAN network. I tried following the steps multiples times to install Raspotify and, when I'm done, the device doesn't appear. Checked the service status with sudo service raspotify status and that's what I get so far:
Not sure what means all of that at the end but the service itself is active and running. Any idea on what's wrong and what I might be missing? I'm completly lost already. I searched for similar problems to mine and multiple resources but none of them seems to have my issue. TLDR: Raspotify installes but device is not appearing on the devices list. |

Those are mdns (zeroconf) errors. I'm not a mdns expert by any means but I do know that routers often do not implement mdns correctly, which leads to issues like this. Containers can also have this issue if not properly configured. I can't really debug your router so about your only option is to disable discovery and add your creds to the Raspotify config. The basic setup guide in the wiki has a section about it. |

Yes, it's running on a headless system. Exactly on the latest Raspbian OS. I'm doing all the configuration from an external computer, connecting from SSH, and when I test if it works, I do it from a mobile. |

I was using alsa at first, then tried with pulseaudio, just in case there was something wrong with it. I thought on pulseaudio because on the config file, the LIBRESPOT_BACKEND parameter asks for alsa or pulseaudio, using alsa as default, so I thought on trying to use pulseaudio from that. |

The pulsesudio backend is included for advanced users and is very much "batteries not included" and not supported. |

Basically if you want my help don't run Raspotify on a system with pulsesudio installed. |

I will hook up to this topic. Recently I`ve installed DietPi + Alsa + Raspotify. Everything worked till todays update (got a prompt in the system). After it i cant find Raspberry in Spotify app. I have reinstalled the system, installed Alsa, installed Raspotify just like I did before and it didnt work. Command sudo service raspotify status give back a message:
I assume everything should work, but it doesnt |
