Hi @kblankenship1989

Do you have any Spotify-related host overrides in /etc/hosts?

Also try disabling the LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_[...]_CACHE flags and see if that changes anything?

[kblankenship1989]

Hosts file:

27.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2         ip6-allrouters

127.0.1.1       pandorapi

Config file:

# /etc/raspotify/conf -- Arguments/configuration for librespot

# A non-exhaustive list of librespot options and flags.

# Please see https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify/wiki &
# https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/wiki/Options
# for configuration details and a full list of options and flags.

# You can also find a full list with `librespot -h`.

# To avoid name collisions environment variables must be prepended with
# `LIBRESPOT_`, so option/flag `foo-bar` becomes `LIBRESPOT_FOO_BAR`.

# Invalid environment variables will be ignored.

# Raspotify defaults may vary from librespot defaults.
# Commenting out the environment variable will fallback to librespot's default
# unless otherwise noted.

# Flags can be set to either "on" or "off".
# Empty values may cause errors.

# Only log warning and error messages.
LIBRESPOT_QUIET=on

# Automatically play similar songs when your music ends.
# Respects client autoplay setting if commented out. Forces autoplay on or off when active.
# This value is either "on" or "off".
#LIBRESPOT_AUTOPLAY=on

# Disable caching of the audio data.
# Enabling audio data caching can take up a lot of space
# if you don't limit the cache size with LIBRESPOT_CACHE_SIZE_LIMIT.
# It can also wear out your Micro SD card. You have been warned. 
# LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_AUDIO_CACHE=on

# Disable caching of credentials.
# Caching of credentials is not necessary so long as
# LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_DISCOVERY is not set.
# LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_CREDENTIAL_CACHE=on

# Play all tracks at approximately the same apparent volume.
LIBRESPOT_ENABLE_VOLUME_NORMALISATION=on

# Enable verbose log output.
#LIBRESPOT_VERBOSE=off

# Disable zeroconf discovery mode.
#LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_DISCOVERY=off

# Options will fallback to their defaults if commented out,
# otherwise they must have a valid value.

# Device name.
# Raspotify defaults to "raspotify (*hostname)".
# Librespot defaults to "Librespot".

#LIBRESPOT_FORMAT="S16"

# Displayed device type. Defaults to speaker.
#LIBRESPOT_DEVICE_TYPE="speaker"

# Limits the size of the cache for audio files.
# It's possible to use suffixes like K, M or G, e.g. 16G for example.
# Highly advised if audio caching isn't disabled. Otherwise the cache
# size is only limited by disk space.
#LIBRESPOT_CACHE_SIZE_LIMIT=""

# Audio backend to use, alsa or pulseaudio. Defaults to alsa.
#LIBRESPOT_BACKEND="alsa"

# Username used to sign in with.
# Credentials are not required if LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_DISCOVERY is not set.
#LIBRESPOT_USERNAME=""

# Password used to sign in with.

# Audio device to use, use `librespot --device ?` to list options.
# Defaults to the system's default.
#LIBRESPOT_DEVICE="default"

# Initial volume in % from 0 - 100.
# Defaults to 50 For the alsa mixer: the current volume.
#LIBRESPOT_INITIAL_VOLUME="50"

# Volume control scale type {cubic|fixed|linear|log}.
# Defaults to log.
#LIBRESPOT_VOLUME_CTRL="log"

# For the alsa mixer: what the control supports.
#LIBRESPOT_VOLUME_RANGE="60.0"

# Pregain (dB) applied by volume normalisation from -10.0 to 10.0.
# Defaults to 0.0.
#LIBRESPOT_NORMALISATION_PREGAIN="0.0"

# Threshold (dBFS) at which point the dynamic limiter engages
# to prevent clipping from 0.0 to -10.0.
# Defaults to -2.0.

# ### This is NOT a librespot option or flag. ###
# This modifies the behavior of the Raspotify service.
# If you have issues with this option DO NOT file a bug with librespot.
# 
# By default librespot "download buffers" tracks, meaning that it downloads
# the tracks to disk and plays them from the disk and then deletes them when
# the track is over. This practice is very common, many other audio frameworks
# and players do the exact same thing as a disk based tmp cache is easy to use
# and very resilient. That being said there may be cases where a user may want
# to minimize disk read/writes.
#
# Commenting this out will cause librespot to use a tmpfs so that provided there
# is enough RAM to hold the track nothing is written to disk but instead to a tmpfs.
# See https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify/discussions/567
# And https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/tmpfs.html

Same error

[kblankenship1989]

For the record, I have tried running librespot on its own and confirmed this is an issue there. I have raised THIS ISSUE with them to address this

[kblankenship1989]

until this is resolved for me, is there any way to downgrade raspotify (I cannot figure out how to install an older version if that is even possible, still fairly new to linux)
