I have Problems with Autoplay on Pi Musicbox:  
I want to autoplay a Playlist I’ve created and sometimes it works but sometimes not!  
The Log after the IP stuff:  
`Waiting for Mopidy to accept connections...`  
`OK MPD 0.19.0`  
`Mopidy startup complete, playing spotify:user:laurin-135:playlist:5UIUocffT8zO0FjZZQOhKj`  
`error: directory or file not found`

My Setup:  
Raspberry Pi 3  
Analog Speakers, charged with usb  
Built-In Wifi

I know it’s not that hard to go to spotify and press play, but I want the convenience of it autoplaying

Could you try adding a sleep command to maybe give mopidy a chance to load the cached playlist data.

Ahh, so what do you currently have for the autoplay setting? This may well explain the problem
