As you know I am experimenting RPi3B+ with different linux distros (mostly same SW stack of Logitech Media Server and SqueezeLite Player). I have tried piCorePlayer and max2play so far (yet to try moodeaudio; since Volumio does not offer Tidal streaming on free tier I left it out). Both OS I tried behave very similar. Tidal Hifi quality is awesome and plays seamlessly. Where as Spotify (through Spotty plugin) works fine upto 160kbps quality; with extreme quality 320kbps it struggles - buffer for every few seconds. I have raised this issue with Spotty plugin developer Michael.
I have tried every setting in Spotty plugin including File Formats enabling/disabling. No difference in behaviour.
In the mean time I would like to know your experience on Spotify streaming on this stack.
1. Are you able play Spotify at 320kbps through any such stack? Please let me know any suggestion.
2. If you do stream Spotify at 320kbps seamlessly, can you please share you system configuration as shown below:
My configuration:
HW: RPi3B+ Wifi or LAN + FX Audio DAC X6
piCorePlayer OS: piCorePlayer v6.1.0 | www v0009 | linux 4.19.122-pcpCore_v7 | piCore v10.3pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.6-1206-pCP | LMS v8.0.0 | Spotty: v4.2.0
max2play OS: max2play 2.52 | Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 | Max2Play v1.0.2 based on v1.8.4-726 | Spotty: v4.2.0
It will help me and in turn developer to fix the issue if any.
