Raspotify not showing up in Spotify device list without credentials about raspotify HOT 7 CLOSED

Update

When I put in my credentials then raspotify shows up.
So I'm changing the title since this is just means that it's confusing that the conf file states that no credentials are needed for network discovery.

here:

# Username used to sign in with.
# Credentials are not required if LIBRESPOT_DISABLE_DISCOVERY is not set.
#LIBRESPOT_USERNAME=""

and here:

# Password used to sign in with.
#LIBRESPOT_PASSWORD=""

Commenting to say I'm having the same issue. Haven't tried inputting my credenditals in the conf file (I'd like to avoid this if possible as a. I don't like putting up my credentials in a non-encrypted file, and b. Seems counter productive to the fact that rpi is wired to a speaker where I expect different people to be able to use spotify connect with, I'm not the sole user).

Raspotify has been working great for me for a long time now. I noticed this started happening yesterday. I'll try a reinstall and report back.

Update - as much as I would like to avoid it, I tried the solution proposed by Eran above to input my credentials in the conf file. Raspotify is now discoverable again. Will hopefully try to uninstall and reinstall later, or remove credentials, to see if it continues being discoverable, hopefully.

@rsm86 just fyi, with my credentials in the conf file my wife was (at least at some point) able to see raspotify on a different spotify account. I'm still tweaking with this because the behavior is not very consistent and will report back.

UPDATE:
It does seem to be possible to connect with a different account then the one whose credentials are stored in the config file

However

I'm still experiencing very unstable operation. Even though I can see that the raspotify service is running, it is not consistently showing up on the device list in Spotify.

ZeroConf can be very finicky if your network devices do not implement it correctly. For example my wifi router flat out refused to work. I ended up getting a dedicated router and using my wifi router as an AP.
