Hi
This is a bit desperate, but I really can't think of anything else than my router that could be causing the issue, and you guys here are very knowledgeable.
Router: R7800 running the latest Voxel (1.0.2.83)
Something in the last couple of months has started blocking Spotify Connect player announcements. I have no real idea how this works, but the players can advertise on the local network and in addition get registered in the account of the Spotify user through the cloud. So I can control any player that is logged in as me even if I am on a different network (through the cloud), but I should be able to see and control any player that happens to be on the same network as my Spotify app (e.g. on the phone) at that moment locally, even if I am logged into a different account.
It's the second functionality that used to work but stopped. There are some options in the apps and the players as to whether they should see/advertise locally, but all these are turned on. Any Spotify app is a player than can be controlled by other apps on other devices. I also have a bunch of software Spotify players running on a server, so I can actually do the following:
* A local Spotify Desktop app in the same server as the software Spotify players, sees all the players.
* If the player is on a different device than the Spotify app, it can only be seen if it's the same account, i.e. it goes through the cloud.
* Switching off the firewall on the machine with the player/app does not change this.
* Bonjour discovery seems to be working ok on my network, in case it's something like this, although the Connect players have never appeared in the Bonjour device list
This has led me to conclude that it must be the router which is blocking the announcement traffic somehow, and at least since a few Voxel versions ago (although it's most likely my changing some setting that has caused this). Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
I also run a pi-hole which functions as my DHCP server, in case this might also be related.
Thanks!
