Librespot addon suddenly fails

Kodi Add-ons
1

Today, suddenly the Librespot addon fails on my CoreElec 21.2, Homatics Box. I can connect from my Spotify App, but it fails to play sound.
Strangely the Backend field in the Configuration was empty. So I choosed ALSA and tried several devices. But I am unsure, how exactly to create the device name from the aplay -l output.

Anybody else seeing this problem?

Thank you @DudeShemesh,

the in the thread mentioned workaround also helps for me.

Add line
0.0.0.0 apresolve.spotify.com
to /storage/.config/hosts.conf and reboot

I also fixed my confusion with the ALSA settings quick afterwards:
aplay -l showed this device, I have to use:
card 0: AMLAUGESOUND [AML-AUGESOUND], device 2: SPDIF-SPDIF SPDIF-2
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

=> hw:0,2

But maybe I don’t used ALSA before? Because
Backend: pulseaudio_rtp
seems to work better

Hi,

Here is another way. It has the same result as Kaiben mentioned.

  1. Connect through as ssh as root.

  2. copy paste the following. And press enter

echo ‘0.0.0.0 apresolve.spotify.com’ | tee -a /storage/.config/hosts.conf

  1. Reboot

I have the same issue. I saw that the source code of LibreSpot has been updated to v0.7.0.

Is it possible to update the Kodi plugin as well to the updated version?
