Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/499

This is a feature request, to add the possibility to disconnect a client from librespot, and then keep running, being available for a new connection.

This cenario makes sense when running in zeroconf mode, when you need to disconnect the client from librespot/"server" side. This can be super usefull to implement to MPRIS stop() method, for example.

I'm new to the librespot code, but i think that adding a Disconnect method to spirc class (in librespot-connect package) would be enough.

If i missed something and there's it is already possible to disconnect a client, please let me know.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Once you disconnect you cannot be available for a new connection as librespot has to initiate the connection to the servers. Once you have disconnected there is no way to signal a reconnect again, so librespot should exit otherwise it will keep running forever doing nothing.

What is the problem you are having? You can have multiple connections from multiple devices and just switch between them without needing any of them to disconnect.

Yes, in the devices menu of the spotify app just select the device itself. It will be called something like "This Phone", "This Tablet", or "This Computer" or whatever.

I wanted to do this without needing to touch the spotify app.

But by the time i opnened this issue, i had little knowledge about librespot.
By now i do undertand that this feature request makes no sense.

Thank for everyone who took its time to help me.
