LibreSpot Issue After Reinstallation - No Sound or Playback Control

    Hello,

    I recently reinstalled LibreELEC on my Raspberry Pi 4. Before this reinstall, everything was working fine with LibreSpot, but now I am encountering an issue. When I connect my device to LibreSpot on the Raspberry Pi, it connects successfully, but that's where the problem starts.

    Here are the symptoms:

    No sound is heard.

    There is no notification on the TV showing that a song is playing.

    The Play and Pause buttons do not work.

    Nothing else happens after connecting to LibreSpot.

    I’m not sure what to do next or how to troubleshoot this. I have already tried restarting the system, but the issue persists.

    Has anyone encountered something similar or has any suggestions for troubleshooting?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance!

    I also had this issue. There is actually a fix for this.

    Option 1:

    1. Connect through as ssh as root.

    2. copy paste the following. And press enter

    echo -e "OLD:\n----"; cat /storage/.config/hosts.conf; sudo bash -c 'echo -e "0.0.0.0\t\tapresolve.spotify.com" >> /storage/.config/hosts.conf'; echo -e "----\nNEW:\n----"; cat /storage/.config/hosts.conf

    3. Reboot

    Option 2:

    1. Connect through ssh as root

    2. Edit the host file /storage/.config/hosts.conf

    add the following entry

    0.0.0.0 apresolve.spotify.com
    towards the end of the file

    3. Reboot
