Source/device disappears after not using it for some time #216

Closed T-vK closed 1 year ago

T-vK commented 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

It is not possible to select the HomeAssistant device as a source after not using it for a while (less than a day).

Expected behavior

The HomeAssistant device source should always be available.

Actual behavior

Spotify doesn't recognize the HomeAssistant device anymore after not using it for some time, meaning it can't be selected anymore. This means I have to restart the addon every time I want to use it...

Steps to reproduce

Start the Spotify Addon, select HomeAssistant as the Spotify playback source. Stop playback, wait for a day. Now you won't be able to select and use the HomeAssistant source anymore.

Proposed changes

Regularly send signs of life to the Spotify API, so it doesn't unlist the HomeAssistant device. Or maybe as a workaround for now: Regularly restart the addon or log out and in again automatically (unless of course it is currently being used).

@T-vK, when this happens can you go to Settings > Addons > Spotify Connect > Configuration
Under Audio > Output
Is there anything selected or is it default?

It's always set to Built-in Audio Stereo.
