Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/984

This report is primarily coming from https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/issues/1071, which I noticed, is also an issue with the current dev version as well as with the new-api branch.

Description

Librespot devices don't support setting the repeat type to single track, only off or all. In the official client (Linux and Android at least), the repeat button, which usually cycles through the three modes, only exposes the two mentioned above. With spotify-tui, switching the repeat mode to track works (as in: it shows Repeat: Track in the UI), but the text resets itself after a few seconds.

I'm not sure wether this is a regression or was always the behaviour, but judging by the two recent reports in https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/issues/1071 and that I could not yet find any other issue that describes this, it might be a change on the Spotify side, which requires changes in librespot.

Note: This is only an issue with librespot, not with Spotify Connect devices in general, since I seem to be able to set the repeat mode to track on an "official" Connect device.

Let me know if you need any further details. Thanks!

Oh, right. I read through that issue, but it seemed different. Should have read more carefully. 😅
