Snapcast with Spotify connect (Volspotconnect2)

Help and Support Help

Hello guys,

First of all thanks for your amazing work regarding this awesome plugin!

As a background I had a running setup with manual installed snapcast server and client V0.11 and librespot. Currently I am facing the problem that I cannot get an output via the Spotify “stream” with VolSpotConnect2 nor librespot (standalone).
My volumio version is 2.201 and I have installed your plugin (server and client v0.13 and then the volspotplugin2).
The volspotplugin is working in standalone (I can connect with Spotify and play music).

cat /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/startconnect.sh
gives me
./librespot -b 320 -c /tmp --name ‘wohnzimmer’ --backend alsa --device plughw:1 --disable-audio-cache --initial-volume 33

I have manually changed to pipe and /tmp/spotififo but after every restart it goes back to alsa and plughw:1.

What is the exact settings of volumio and your plugin to get all that working?
When i play internet radio this only works after a restart later there appear mpd problems.
How can i solve that?

My goal is to get volumio/Spotify/Airplay (Shairport sync running with snapcast.

Where is my failure?
Hope you can help me to get it running again.
Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Dominik

@Dominik have a look at the volspotconnect2.tmpl you can change your output to pipe there, it it should then not reset when the plugin starts.

I’ll have a look to add this in the plugin.
