Hey @rkorell,

Thanks for reporting this. The issue you’re seeing - Spotify queue not playing under 4.021 while other UI functions like volume and track skip still respond - appears to be a plugin-specific failure, likely within the go-librespot backend used by the new 2023 Spotify plugin.

Why This Is a Plugin Issue

  • The playback path for Spotify in Volumio is isolated from core MPD playback, meaning it uses its own stream endpoint and queue manager via go-librespot.

  • Volume and skip are still handled via Volumio’s general command router, which is why they continue to respond.

  • A known class of failures in this plugin can result in:

    • go-librespot crashing or failing to bind audio backend
    • Transport controls working, but no actual audio output
    • No log messages visible unless the daemon logs are inspected directly

Recommended Next Step

To make sure this is addressed by the plugin team, please post your findings in:

Or, if you want to go straight to structured bug reporting:

Optional Cross-Reference

Let me know if you want help pulling out specific log lines related to the plugin crash - but this should now be routed through the correct channels for resolution.
