piCorePlayer stops playing Spotify song after 1 track

I tried before on a different thread... but your statements are really
confusing.

> I tried moOde as well and the playlist stops after a few tracks.

What does that mean? If moode is behaving the same, then the problem
lies elsewhere, doesn't it? Are you sure nobody else is simply using
your Spotify account at the same time?

piCorePlayer stops playing Spotify song after 1 track

I am trying to play music via PiCorePlayer and RPI3B+ and a PiDesign 502Dac

I have the latest Squeeze Server and PiCorePlayer software.
Spotify via Spotty stops playing after 1 song.
Squeezelite playing my local NAS music via SqueezeServer is OK.

I also tried Max2Play and it works fine via Spotify(Spotty) and Squeezelite(Local NAS).

I have configured most of the settings from this site:

Any help please.

Please try a stock setup.

This is strange.
I tried the stock version and the player played well all day and then started doing the same thing.
The music stopped playing after 1 track.
The player has a 50 sec buffer and it still does not play after one track.
The iPeng from a Local music plays perfectly

Any help ?

I tried moOde as well and the playlist stops after a few tracks.

I have 2 picoreplayers and one is more reliable in playing spotify than the other.
Is there any setting I need to do,
- checking the forums, i have added our family's account usernames in the spotty plugin and also figures in my spotify developer dashboard as well.

Is there any other setting that I need to do to make it more reliable in playing on spotify.

[mherger]

Are both players using the same account? If not, can you swap them temporarily and see whether the behavior is tied to the device or the account?

[HerculePirate]

Both players using same account. I have added my family on my spotty settings and also on the spotty developer portal.
Wnen I play only 1 of them and unplug the other, the unreliable picoreplayer becomes good and plays for longer than before.

Now the spotify playback has stopped and I am getting this in the serverlog:

As soon as I attached my primary picoreplayer, i get this in the server log,

[mherger]

Can you describe in more detail your setup? Two of your players are?... this thread is about a pCP not playing well with Spotty, then you mention two players behaving differently, but only the third seems to be a pCP? What are your three players? Are you using Connect mode when things stop? What LMS version on what platform are you using? Multiple accounts (family) configured, but you're always using the same? And are you using your own client ID?

And please don't post random lines of your log file. Post all or nothing. Thanks!

[HerculePirate]

Forget what i said about 1 being unreliable. both the picoreplayers are unreliable.

I have 2 picoreplayers both running Firmware: v1.9.9-1419-pCP
The client ID has been set on the Squeezeserver. I have also added my family username and accounts under the SPOTTY - add accounts section.
I have checked under SPOTTY DEVELOPER and the accounts are there too.

pCP-1 and pCP-2 plays an album from my server and then random music from spotify and this plays endlesses but Both plays spotify music from a dedicated playlist generally a 5 - 10 tracks and then stops.

Both players, the spotify app shows as if the music has reached its end and stops, also the connection to the pCP-1/2 is not available anymore and I have to reconnect or restart the pCP-2 and start over again.
