Hey everyone,

I got the issue with librespot which spammed my Folder var/logs with 22GB and made my Pi run out of diskspace.
The problem was that it tried to play a podcast episode which is not supported.
A log message is created for that.
But the problem here is that the log message keeps repeating as librespot retries to play all the episodes again.

So my /var/log/messages/ looked like this:

This was repeating over 6GB (also in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/user.log) only with different timestamps.
It would be nice to have a fix for that and directly stop after x retrys if podcasts are not supported anyway.

Fixed with #381

It should now cycle through a frame only once to find a playable track. Currently it panics when none of the tracks are playable - say for example a playlist only with local tracks.
