My Question or Issue
Since a couple of weeks I am having issues with Spotify connect.
The connection to my streamer works, songs can be played just fine. But before long (in what seemed increasingly shorter intervals) my internet connection is killed. I mean not just the connection of my device to the internet - my router is caused to hang up and loses the internet connection completely. Looking in the log files of the router (a Zyxel DX3101), it says something like: user.err dhcp6c: client6_start: client6_start, user.err dhcp6c: client6_send: client6_send, daemon.info pppd: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Everything else works just right (like our Internet connection in general, or playing Internet Radio on my Streamer). I restarted my router many times, even did a factory reset of my streamer. What finally seemed to help was to do a clean uninstall oft the Spotify app. So far the problem seems to occur less often than before - but unfortunately it still occurs more often than you'd want it to (and kicks the whole family out of their internet activitiesโฆ).
The problem only occurs when using Spotify Connect, and it seems especially after having used the Skip button for a couple of times. The app freezes, the internet connection is gone.
I am at the end of ideas what I could do, maybe there is a bug in Spotify Connect somehow?
