Volumio Version: 2.873
Hardware: RP4
DAC:TOPPING D10s
Hi,
My Volumio with Spotify Connect 2 worked fine for several weeks. After a sudden power line crash, it stopped work since then.
In my PC and my Iphone I can see Volumio Connect option, but it is shadowed and it isn’t possible to select.
I’ve restart the system, with no success.
Thank you.
have you tried to disable / enable the plugin?
Yes, i did, combined with several restarts
Have you changed your volume mixer in playback settings?
Yes I did.
And as I said in the subject the whole system ran fine since the power cut. Always with the volume mixer in hardware mode it worked fine.
Could you share some logs?
Either a link to a full debug log or a quick snippet from the /dev page using the livelog feature or via ssh.
# Volumio logs
journalctl -f
# vollibrespot logs
journalctl -f -o cat -u volspotconnect2.service
Note you might need sudo before these commands depending on the version of Volumio your running
There is
volumio_spotify_connect2_issue.txt (647.0 KB)
Could you share the output of cat /data/plugins/music_service/volspotconnect2/volspotify.*
It looks like there is some corruption in the file?

You have something strange going on – The daemon starts up fine initially,
Mar 23 20:35:17 volumiokefe volumio[1295]: vollibrespot v0.2.2 cd96399 2020-10-07 (librespot 08d8bcc 2020-10-07) -- Built On 2020-10-07

Mar 23 20:35:17 volumiokefe volumio[1295]: [Vollibrespot] : Using Alsa backend with device: softvolume
But then later seems to have a corrupted config file:
Mar 23 20:36:16 volumiokefe volumio[1715]: Malformed config key: expected an equals, found a newline at line 33 column 4
Mar 23 20:36:16 volumiokefe systemd[1]: volspotconnect2.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Could you reboot your system and send a fresh log? You can just paste the generated log link instead of a text file 
There is:

sorry, I’m not handy with tech forums 
Looks like the system hasn’t finished booting up. Please reboot, try playing a song from Connect, and then send a log?
Well,
I’d rebooted the RP, but I can’t attempt to play a song because the Connect isn’t available.

Many thanks
Did you try re-installing Volumio ?
Not yet. I hope It can be solved without re-installation.
The daemon is (now) up and running fine now, but is probably not showing up on your Spotify client for some reason. Try disabling the multi-user account and login with your credentials to confirm?
Disable the multi-user account from where? I did not understand that, sorry
SOLVED
The problem wasn’t in the RP or Volumio.
I just have closed all spotify sessions in the Spotify’s web site. Then gone to mi cell phone, put my credentials and go!
Thanks to all for your inavaluable help!
