Recently I have not been able to get cspot to work at all on multiple devices (including a device that worked fine a couple weeks ago)

[josh208]

I have a louder-esp32 that I setup a couple weeks ago. When I first set it up, cspot worked great. A couple days later, anytime I tried to play via cspot, it would lock up and require a reboot. Today I decided to troubleshoot and setup a new (Audiodevkit A1S / AC101 variant) device with latest firmware. It is having the same problem. After I try to start playback via cspot it locks up and on serial console I can see repeated backtraces. I have tried everything I can think of... even tried from a different spotify account. Is anyone else having issues with spotify playback? Any ideas on what I can try?

So after letting my devices sit for a couple weeks, I was plotting my next move. I decided to try again and it's magically working again. Perhaps there was an issue with Spotify's API.?
