[MMM-SpotifyConnectUI] Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4000

Cato

You say you get permission errors even when using sudo?

Camelblack

@Cato No, after inserting sudo infront of chmod a+x /etc/systemd/system/spotifyconnect.service I did not get any permissions errors.
When I continued I did not encounter any other errors before I tried to launch MM and got
[MMM-SpotifyConnectUI] Notification received: CONFIG
[MMM-SpotifyConnectUI] Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4000

Cato

What happen if you open http://127.0.0.1:4000 in a browser on the RPi – or change the IP to the IP of the RPi and open in a browser on your own machine?

Camelblack

@Cato Unfortunately even though my raspberry is assigned to a static ip I get “this site can’t be reached” on both alternatives.
127.0.0.1 does show up when I run ifconfig

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

Try to start it manually:

cd /home/pi/spotify-connect-web
./spotify-connect-web -n MAGICMIRROR -o plughw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=1

NB! plughw might not work for you…

Camelblack

@Cato tried that and got this error

./spotify-connect-web -n MAGICMIRROR -o plughw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=1
Loading Spotify library...
min_volume_range: 0.0

Cato

Then you have to contact the author of Spotify Connect Web, as this is out of the scope for my knowledge.

@Cato Will do, thanks anyway!

@Camelblack Let me know if you have any luck, I am running into the same issue.

Camelblack

@zerotwenty will do. Unfortunately still no go. Please let me know if you find a fix.
