Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/238

When I use librespot with a LTE internet connection the playback stops after just two tracks. Currently I use the librespot plugin of Volumio on a RPi3 connected via WIFI to a LTE (~5-8Mbit/s) router. First noticeable difference to a standard DSL 16k or 50k connection is the late start of the music. It takes around 5-20 seconds before the music starts.

This is a trace of the moment where it stucks:

This error just appears for librespot. The Android/Windows/iOS apps of spotify are starting each track immediately and are playing continously.

Any suggestions what I can do to make librespot work along with LTE?

Kind regards

Hi,
I am experiencing a similar issue, playback stops after a few songs with the following error message:
INFO:librespot_playback::player: Track "1950" loaded ERROR:librespot_core::session: Error { repr: Os { code: 104, message: "Connection reset by peer" } }

This is with librespot built from source on a Raspberry Pi 3B.

Thanks!

Hi,
I am having the same issue, after 2-3 songs, it stops playing.
ERROR:librespot_core::session: Os { code: 104, kind: ConnectionReset, message: "Connection reset by peer" }

Do you have any workaround for that issue?

I am using Spotify Connect with this config now:

Is it somehow still possible to get spotify_appkey.key from spotify
website? The site with the request form is dead.
I think sooner or later spotify-connect-web will be broken too and it would
be better to find a valid solution of ConnectionReset issue for librespot..

See https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/134 for this bug. Basically librespot doesn't handle reconnection, hence it crashes if your internet drops out. spotify_appkey.key is dead, the apis for using it don't even exist anymore afaik. Closing in favour of aforementioned issue.

For anyone experiencing the same issue. I've been struggling for months now with the infamous ConnectionReset and Invalidating Session messages. I tried multiple versions of librespot, multiple ways to install it, and still got the same.

It turns out it was a network issue, on my end. I disabled my raspberrypi's ethernet interface and switched to the wifi. Never looked back. Works like a dream. Apparently my ethernet has some glitches. I can finally enjoy some music :)

Similar here after switching off bluetooth (wifi + bluetooth interfering with each other is a known issue on some Pi models). Of course, ideally librespot should be able to handle disconnects without falling over completely. But there's been recent activity at #609, so hopefully that will be resolved some day.
