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

Camelblack

Hi, I get an connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4000 error. while trying to run the [MMM-SpotifyConnectUI] module.

Connecting socket for: MMM-SpotifyConnectUI
[MMM-SpotifyConnectUI] Notification received: CONFIG
[MMM-SpotifyConnectUI] Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4000

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I can confirm that I have placed my spotify_appkey.key in the /spotify-connect-web folder, if that’s relevant.

Cato

Have you installed Spotify Connect Web on that address?

Camelblack

@Cato I’m sorry. I am very new to raspberry pi. To be honest; I don’t know. How to I proceed to find out which address Spotify Connect Web is installed on?

Cato

What did you do? Did you read my documentation?

Camelblack

Yes I followed the instructions from your module. I first installed Spotify Connect Web, then I installed the module and changed my config.js folder.
However, when installing Spotify Connect web, I did get a permission issue when I was supposed to insert

chmod a+x /etc/systemd/system/spotifyconnect.service

I got this

~ $ chmod a+x /etc/systemd/system/spotifyconnect.service
chmod: changing permissions of ‘/etc/systemd/system/spotifyconnect.service’: 
Operation not permitted

I insterted a sudo command to continue the installations steps. Is this causing my issue?

Cato

No sudo is required. Hmmm, did I forget that in my documentation…

Camelblack

@Cato So, despite that I get Operation not permitted I should continue to the next step?

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

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?
