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, Iā€™m still experiencing the problem. Right now Iā€™m using Bluetooth as a workaround.

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

Not a fix but a Work arround.

Hello, noob here ā€“ I added following line to /etc/hosts of Spotify service (via Balena dashboard ā†’ Terminal ā†’ Spotify target ā†’ 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.
