hello ! PARTIALLY SOLVED

I managed to get Tunein Music to play to my clients- amazing,  
now shall I fix Mopidy-spotify also to play

I have some troublems with my mopidy/iris/snapcast server, following is just a server,  
I have other snapcast clients in other rooms so play music from server audio output is not necessary

Debian 11 Linux-5.10.0-24-amd64-x86\_64-with-glibc2.31@ Virtual Machine qemu/kvm @ Dell Optiplex 3060

Got this three warnings when choose to play from TuneIn or mopidy-spotify extension that one that works right now.  
In Iris right click on three dots after track title and notings happens, just the three warnings in terminal below.

As noted above, Tunein is now playing , but I got spotify left

Logs from mopidy when I choose a track to play in Iris

```auto

```

what can I do to fix, something with spotify protocol - I do not really understand what that means.
