Spotify constantly skipping songs

A couple of days ago, Spotify started constantly skippings songs whenever i connected to my raspberrypi via spotify connect.

I have tried the following:

  • Logging out of all devices on spotify
  • Reinstall balenaOS
  • Tried the following variables, SOUND_SPOTIFY_ENABLE_CACHE and SOUND_SPOTIFY_DISABLE_NORMALISATION
  • Rename the SOUND_DEVICE_NAME variable
  • Updated the Supervisor and OS version

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Have same issue. Did you get it fixed?

Unfortunately not, I’m still experiencing the problem. Right now I’m using Bluetooth as a workaround.

But please let me know if you manage to find something.

Added
104.199.65.124 ap-gew4.spotify.com
To etc/hosts

Not a fix but a Work arround.

Hello, noob here – I added following line to /etc/hosts of Spotify service (via Balena dashboard → Terminal → Spotify target → then editedd with vi, saved with :x), but the changes are not kept after rebooting.

Could you please explain step by step how to make this fix?

Seems to be a problem with librespot.
As a temporary fix you can try to block apresolve.spotify.com in your router config. That should help.
