Hi forum experts! I have been having a tough time with the 3rd party (triode) Spotify plugin over the past few months... (Duet, 2 players and controller - versions below)
Activating the plugin from the list sometimes takes several attempts and server restarts before it actually installs. Similar to other posters, LMS seems to cache DNS results - as the server starts when the system starts it seems that if the first DNS request to mysqueezebox.com fails then this is cached until I restart the server again. This seems to result in 2 problems - one confirmed, the other not: 1. (confirmed) the Plugins page does not load any 3rd party plugins and lists 3 DNS failures at the top of the page (server restart fixes this) 2. The plugin disappears from the duet controller. When 2. happens above, I have to re-enable the plugin (may take several attempts) and will only be in the plugins list (1.) if I can be sure that the LMS has not cached a failed DNS attempt. Previous attempts to troubleshoot using the logs have resulted in standard router/firewall/network suggested route causes as the logs just show DNS failures (due to cache). It is definitely not the network/firewall settings. - When the plugin installs it passes all self-tests and I can use full Spotify functionality. As you can imagine, the effort of re-instaling the plugin every time the system restarts is too much to be worth it. Any suggestions on - Preventing the DNS caching? Delaying server start until after the network connection has come up? (I know I can do this manually - any other suggestions..??) Making the plugin more persistent during these issues?
