Spotify option uniquely claims connection, no override from Roon apps possible

My kids say “Thank you for the Spotify streaming option!”

Yes, it’s a great addition to keep the family happy in the lossless or hires music world world I like to create.

However. I don’t use Spotify. And if they go out while Spotify is still playing on a Ropieee Raspberry, I can’t gain control over my Ropieee Roon endpoints anymore. What to do?

Those kids :wink:

The only thing you can do is stop playing to the specific endpoint. After a few seconds the audio device is released. I think you can regain control from the Spotify app…

I’m playing around with an option in the Roon API that might make it possible to forcefully claim control, but that’s work in progress…

Thanks
