Spotify Connect no longer working upon installing Touchscreen

Help and Support Help

I just installed the touchscreen plugin (following the Volumio How-To guide to install touchscreen and plugin) and now, I cannot get Spotify Connect to work anymore. Some notes about my configuration and what I have tested:

  • Raspberry Pi 4B with official 7" Touchscreen
  • RPi and touchscreen are powered separately
  • Spotify Connect still works fine on the other Volumio device in my house (RPi 2B)
  • Airplay seems to work fine on both units
  • I am running Volumio Premium on both RPi’s
  • Spotify Connect was working great on this RPi before I set up the touchscreen.

Any help to get Spotify working again is much appreciated! The Volumio Log for when I try to connect via Spotify Connect (through the app on my phone) is below:

Not sure , what you mean by following the instructions. Do you mean going to the plugin folder in Volumio and click on install?

I just meant that I followed the instructions on Volumio’s site to set up the touchscreen. They can be found at this link: https://volumio.com/en/raspberry-pi-display-and-volumio-touchscreen-music-player/

Then reflash you SD, run the setup wizard and go to the plugin tab. Both Spotify and touch_screen are there as plugin.
They will install without any hassle.

Music Services => Spotify
System Hardware => Touch Display. (Make sure to follow the instruction of the manufacturer for additional settings in /boot/userconfig.txt, if needed, before installing the plugin. To avoid misalignment with touch rotation as example)

So you also have the dedictated cables for SDA and SCL connected? If so, try without them. They are only required for old Model A/B boards where the DSI connector does not have I2C connections. With your Pi 4B SDA and SCL signals are transmitted via the DSI ribbon cable.

I think I figured it out. It seems the power supply I was using was not enough juice for both the Pi and the screen, and thus the unit was having general network/wifi connectivity challenges. Powering the touchscreen with a separate power source via microUSB seems to have fixed the issue.
