Reply To: Spotify connect needs to be restarted after a few hours

3. Februar 2019 at 18:33 #44328

Hi,

I’m running Max2Play Version 2.47 on Raspberry PI 3 with HiFiBerry AMP 2.
Only Spotify connect pluggin is running there.
Issue is very similar – Spotify connect service is running but after 6, till 24 hours (don’t know presicley), Max2Play spofity service is not listed on spofity app on phone. Only way to fix that is to restart the service.
I have this issue for some time (more than month).
Spotify connect was reinstalled – didn’t helped.

As a workaround I’d like to restart this service every 4-8 hours, or on some defined hours (10pm, 5am). Is that possible?

Below debug from plugin:
