OwnTone was supposed to default to the old raw tcp Spotify protocol, which would have left it unaffected by Spotify breaking the http response to the metadata request. However, the mechanism for defaulting was misplaced. This should put it in the right place and fix #1912. Of course, the new protocol is still broken, but hopefully that will be fixed on Spotify's side.
OwnTone
OwnTone is a media server that lets you play audio sources such as local files, Spotify, pipe input or internet radio to AirPlay 1 and 2 receivers, Chromecast receivers, Roku Soundbridge, a browser or the server’s own sound system. Or you can listen to your music via any client that supports mp3 streaming.
You control the server via a web interface, Apple Remote, an Android remote (e.g. Retune), an MPD client, json API or DACP.
OwnTone also serves local files via the Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) to iTunes (Windows), Apple Music (macOS) and Rhythmbox (Linux), and via the Roku Server Protocol (RSP) to Roku devices.
Runs on Linux, BSD and macOS.
OwnTone was previously called forked-daapd, which again was a rewrite of mt-daapd (Firefly Media Server).
