yes, i'm running v2.7.5 with the default (auto) setting for the helper. i've always been curious about the Helper Application; what exactly is its function? i tried the raspotify in RPi as an independent, local Spotify Connect but it did not behave much better. in fact, it would stop after the current song, so i'm back to Spotty. the long song gaps are something that i can live with but much more troublesome is the disappearance of Connect device and my having to restart LMS to bring it back. please see the short excerpt of another server log. my best guess is that Spotify itself is very sensitive to streaming rate and when the client is not consuming in perfect order, it terminates the connection. is that what's happening?
