Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/793

My current setup is:

one raspberry pi with librespot connected to my speakers
another raspberry pi with librespot connected to my headphones

Both devices are on the same network and both devices have discovery enabled and no credentials provided.

When I have both devices online and one is playing music, I am unable to switch playing to the other. I can see it in the spotify app as an available device, but as soon as I choose it, it starts playing for a second, then automatically switches back to the previous device.

I have to shutdown the first device to have the other device start playing successfully.

I can provide more info if anyone tells me what you need.

Thanks!

Cannot reproduce. Tested here:

1x instance named X running on RPi
1x instance named Y running on macOS

Running 0.2.0-dev. Connected to the same switch. Zeroconf enabled, no credentials.

Starting playback on X. Switching to Y -- seamless transition without jumping back. Switching to X - as expected. Y - again.

I can't reproduce either. I run 2 or 3 simulations instances, sometimes on the same machine all the time while testing things and never have any trouble.

Purely anecdotal but some routers don't play well with mDNS. I had nothing but trouble with my wifi router to the point that I ended up just getting a cheap standalone router/switch and just using it as a wireless AP. If you have an old router laying around that's a different brand or can barrow one you might try switching it out to see if it clears things up. At the very least I would check with Google to see if anyone else has had mDNS issues with your router.
