Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/devgianlu/go-librespot/issues/75

I was running an older version (likely 0.0.14 or 13), and updated to 0.0.17. After updating to 0.0.17, I'm unable to connect to the local API. All connections are refused. All other features appear to work as expected.

Perhaps there's been a configuration change? I see that as of dcccf4a, the config schema has been updated, but I'm not sure what's required to get the API setup properly.

I've tested the following versions for API functionality:

0.0.14 - Works as expecte
0.0.15 - Connection Refused
0.0.16 - Connection Refused
0.0.17 - Connection Refused

Build from 0.0.14 result in the following when queried:

$ curl -v http://localhost:24879
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:24879...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 24879 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:24879
> User-Agent: curl/7.88.1

* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
{}%

Builds from 0.0.15-17 result in the following

$ curl -v http://localhost:24879
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:24879...
* connect to 127.0.0.1 port 24879 failed: Connection refused
*   Trying [::1]:24879...
* connect to ::1 port 24879 failed: Connection refused
* Failed to connect to localhost port 24879 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 24879 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server

All versions were built using the following command: env GOARCH=arm64 GOOS=linux CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -o ./go-librespot-daemon ./cmd/daemon

My Configuration File:

device_name: Livingroom-Spotify
log_level: debug
credentials:
  type: zeroconf
device_type: speaker
server_port: 24879
volume_steps: 50
bitrate: 320
initial_volume: 3

🤦🏼 Figured it out. The config file has indeed changed. The key server_port has changed to port and is now nested under the server section. The default behavior is to leave the API disabled.

For anyone else that stumbles on this here's the proper format:

device_name: Livingroom-Spotify
log_level: debug
credentials:
  type: zeroconf
device_type: speaker
server:
  enabled: true
  port: 24879
volume_steps: 50
bitrate: 320
initial_volume: 3
