I am still having these issues. I have been trying to figure this out, but not having any luck yet.
Could be unrelated as it happens even when playback if fine, but in my logs, I still see this:
Feb 09 09:22:53 raspberrypi mopidy[409]: ERROR [HttpServer] mopidy_iris.core [Errno 111] Connection refused
and:
Feb 09 11:04:59 raspberrypi mopidy[404]: INFO [HttpServer] mopidy_iris.core Updating Snapcast stream metadata: http://localhost:1780/jsonrpc
Feb 09 11:04:59 raspberrypi mopidy[404]: ERROR [HttpServer] mopidy_iris.core [Errno 111] Connection refused
But in iris settings, it shows snapcast is disabled. I have also tried adding a [iris] section with [snapcast_enabled = false].in the /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf and have confirmed that is it set by running mopidyctl config
When I skip songs and lose playback, I don’t see anything else in the log when i do a sudo journalctl -e -u mopidy
Also, as an aside, when I put the [iris] section in the mipidy.conf, I lose 3 of the 4 gpio buttons. The play/pause still works, but the skip and volume stop working.
Overall, I love being able to play spotify with this pirate audio board and mopidy. I just wish I could fix these issues.
