Music Assistant No audio Librespot

Musca · August 10, 2025, 5:43am

Hi guys
I have a problem with the integration music assistant and Spotify provider.
Everything worked well since 2 day ago, then I have every time the same error playing music in Spotify and home assistant (I have premium account)

2025-08-10 07:30:01.393 WARNING (MainThread) [music_assistant.spotify] No audio received from librespot within timeout - will retry once
2025-08-10 07:30:21.399 ERROR (MainThread) [ffmpeg.572] Stream error: No audio received from librespot within timeout

I have no idea how to resolve it
Anyone with same error?
Thanks in advance
