I'm not sure if this is something that happens with everyone or if it's intentional or if it even is happening for everyone, so I thought I would post here to see.

After some time of inactivity, my Kodi device will stop showing up on the list of Spotify Connect devices I have locally. It seems that going to the settings and re-saving them (without making any changes) will refresh the service and make it start showing up there again.

It would be awesome if I didn't have to update the settings of the plugin every time I wanted to connect. I will probably end up writing a plugin that automatically triggers the onSettingsChanged event every 30 minutes, or something along those lines, but I wanted to just double check to see if anyone else had any better solutions before doing that.

Anyone else dealing with this or have any suggestions?

I don't have a suggestion, but I can second your impression. My guess before was that Librespot stops working when I don't explicitly disconnect from it but just leave the network.

Is there a different version to install or can the plugin be restarted over a cron job or something? What can I do to help?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks everybody. Maybe I'll try another cable and a different PSU, though I read it's recommended to use the original one...

I just realized.. I have one more problem that I had for ages already and it corresponds to my CEC problem:

When switching to a different HDMI source on the TV and back, the CEC remote stopped working. Only when I play a media file, the functionality comes back.

Here the cec-client log:

Is there a setting I have to change?

/edit: SOLUTION

I added hdmi_force_hotplug=1 to /flash/config.txt and no it kinda works. Needs some time to get activated (about 5 seconds).

GPOI IQaudio DAC+
Adding this line to /flash/config.txt worked on 10.0.2:
dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus
This does not work on 10.0.3 anymore. The audio device won't show up in the list.

Okay I found the problem:

Because of the cooling chassis I wanted to use an GPIO extension cable (see image).

That caused the DAC to fail. It does work without the cable sitting on a GPIO stack expander (not ideal).

Is this a known issue with RPis GPIO and extension cables?

On 10.0.2 I had this working line in my /flash/cmdline.txt:
drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid-HDMI-A-1.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D
This does not work anymore.
I ssh'ed into the machine checked the file for existing lines and fired the 'getedid create' command and it added the same line as above.

Okay, I found a workaround (thx yullaw ) [0]:

Added the following to /flash/distroconfig.txt

Code

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=20

Still this is a temp solution because if I understand correctly, distroconfig.txt will be overwritten bei updates.

I have no idea what those values mean but is there a different way to add these settings permanently?

Hi guys,

I updated manually from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 and have a couple of nasty problems:

No video output past rainbow splash screen
Switching sources back and forth brings back the Kodi login screen.
On 10.0.2 I had this working line in my /flash/cmdline.txt:
drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid-HDMI-A-1.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D
This does not work anymore.

WORKAROUND in Post #2
CEC Problem
Since the upgade I have to toggle CEC Plugin off and on again to make it work.
WORKAROUND from Post #2 seems to fix this as well.
GPOI IQaudio DAC+
Adding this line to /flash/config.txt worked on 10.0.2:
dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus
This does not work on 10.0.3 anymore. The audio device won't show up in the list.
ROOT CAUSE of the problem in post #4

My update process was a little rocky: I updated placing the update.img.gz in the .update folder but because I didn't get an image I did a full reset and clean install. After that I restored the whole /STORAGE/ partition from the 10.0.2 version.

Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1
TV: LG 42LW4500

Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I just ran into the same problem. My profiles.xml was 0 bytes in size and directly after renaming it, LE booted up.
