Hi, I tried to reproduce the problem. Started a song from the
recommendations, automatically played the next song, then I skipped to
the next and Spotty got stuck.
I believe the ":recommended" lookup failure has been a red hering all
the time. Yes, it's something that should not happen. But it likely has
nothing to do with what is stopping playback. Here's what I understand
happened:
- around 18:57 playback of Tori Amos' "A Sorta Fairytale" (5:28) started
- around 19:03:00 Spotty requested the next track, as we approached the
end of the previous track
- around 19:03:11 Tanita Tikaram started "Valentine Heart" (4:06)
- 19:04:43 Spotify told Spotty to play the next track (likely you
hitting the "Next" button): "Got called from spotty helper for
00:04:20:...: change"
- 19:04:44 Spotty is told next should be REM's "Everybody hurts" (5:20)
- 19:04:47 another "Next" event
- 19:04:48 next track is Pink's "Dear Mr. President"
- 19:04:48.5609 Spotify tells us to stop playback
And during all this time there are some of those failures to lookup
tracks for the :recommend playlist. And something else seems to be have
one of your Spotify playlists queued up in Spotty/LMS mode? Bryan Ferry,
Jason Mraz, A Fine Frenzy, Cranberries, Maroon 5... tracks are looked up
regularly.
Does this make sense?
So whatever is causing the playback to stop, we're not really closer.
But I don't think it's the ":recommended" appendix in the playlist URI.
Would playback end, too, if you didn't hit "Next" but just let it play?
Is it nearing the end of the recommendations in the Spotify app?
