Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1292

EDIT: Workaround detailed below. My first solution didn't work.

~~This isn't a bug. I may have figured out a solution to an issue commonly reported here and wanted to post this in case someone else runs into it:~~

~~I have been getting Connection reset by peer (os error 104) in the librespot logs for a while - it usually plays 0.5-1 song before stopping playback and throwing this error.~~

I have a Unifi Gateway Lite as my router and I just turned off "Suspicious Activity" monitoring in the gateway's security settings. Suddenly librespot can play multiple hours of music again without stopping.
Annoyingly the gateway doesn't log anything about killing this connection. But I am pretty sure this was the culprit for me.

~~More full logs for people searching github etc:~~

Closing as this isn't an issue with librespot - just wanted a solution documented.

Unfortunately this seems to have been a coincidence.
I have started having the same error again, and can't find a solution.

I've logged packets on my router and the connection reset is definitely coming from outside the network
I can't find any pattern for when this happens, other than it's always when librespot runs preload to load the next song
It doesn't seem to matter which spotify ap I use, or which port on the ap.

Just.. sometimes it will play for hours on end without issue. And other times it can't play a whole song with out kicking me off

Ok after testing for the last month or so, it seems like I've found a workaround.

I've set up a VPN to tunnel only connections to spotify through a server in the USA (don't think it matters but I picked a server in LA). For whatever reason, connections coming from the US don't seem to be disconnected on the spotify end like connections from new zealand are..

A pretty silly solution but it's been working since I set up the tunnel
