[MMM-SpotifyConnectUI] Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4000
-
What did you do? Did you read my documentation?
-
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 insertchmod 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? -
No
sudo
is required. Hmmm, did I forget that in my documentation… :-) -
@Cato So, despite that I get
Operation not permitted
I should continue to the next step? :) -
You say you get permission errors even when using
sudo
? -
@Cato No, after inserting
sudo
infront ofchmod 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?
-
@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 runifconfig
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…
-
@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 Using libspotify_embedded version: release-esdk-1.20.0-v1.20.0-g594175d4 SpInit: 2 SpInit failed, exiting
