Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/240

Since 18 May there is no commits to main repository - plenty of forks are alive and active, but raspotify uses code from here. Is this project alive?

I have serious issues with librespot that annoys whole family. Suddenly without any error message in logs it stops being visible as Spotify Connect device. I have to login and restart the whole service to get it back.

Would be nice if it at least crashes, so systemd would be able to restart. Any hints or predictions when it could be fixed? Maybe one of forkers already have a solution for that?

Might be related to #172? I frequently run into this bug and if no one else fixes it by the time I get librespot working with my application again then I will maybe fix that...

So, my symptoms are like in #241. The log shows:

Aug  6 19:22:41 malina librespot[11050]: INFO:librespot_playback::player: Track "Translucent" loaded
Aug  6 19:41:15 malina librespot[11050]: ERROR:librespot_core::session: Os { code: 110, kind: TimedOut, message: "Connection timed out" }

I started to think about writing a log filter in Python to restart the librespot on each occurrence of the time out.

It can work for a few days without a problem, but when the internet connection is down (due to provider issues), then it will not work any more without restarting. As long as librespot is working as standalone process, can you exit gracefully in case of trouble? Systemd will solve the issue by starting the process again.

libresport doesn't have --version option, so I can't display it's version. It's coming from most recent raspotify as of today. All running on regularly updated Raspbian Stretch.

The project is still alive, though there hasn't been much activity in the past couple of months, as the core maintainers have been/are busy, and there haven't been many pull requests. I note there are lots of forks adding functionality, if people want that added to the main repo, feel free to open a PR.

Closing as main question resolved. For secondary question, refer to #172

Another session error causing trouble:

Aug  6 22:45:57 malina librespot[16608]: ERROR:librespot_core::session: Os { code: 104,
 kind: ConnectionReset, message: "Connection reset by peer" }

Again, only restart helps.
