Hi, I face the same issue but cannot reproduce traceable the behavior.
I have a freshly and latest Volumio 3 build, premium plan, with no plugins accept latest Spotify plugin.
Hardware is Raspberry 4 with Hifiberry DAC + pro, with WIFI connection
While sometimes it plays stable when streamed from Smartphone or PC, after some trials it makes what you describe but faster. Would say every two seconds it is like pushing the skip button but with no tone.
Much harder is, that
- sometimes the player visibility will only be populated by Spotify app when opening the Spotify plugin and click the Spotify button on the Volumio GUI first.
- I am not able to play Spotify music in Volumio directly from new Spotify plugin. Only streaming works from Smartphone to Volumio. When click the play button, red popup with Spotify REST API failure pops up
- When installing the Spotify plugin the screen do not update after S. premium log in. Then however after Reeboot the plugin shows the valid log in.
- Normalize Volume in the plugin is not possible how often I press this button.
Besides that on my other Volumio 3 player with the same config but Khadas Tone One and DLNA Server plugin installed I have the same issues.
I put in all failures here in one post, because maybe one failure depends on the others or there is one big failure.
Please support us.
Thank you in advance and have a nice evening
Cheers
