Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Apparently this boils down to an issue in librespot, see https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/discussions/609 I can confirm the ncspot error occurs whenever my wifi dies (athn0: device timeout), which is something I don't always notice... except when music stops playing. > Can you confirm this by looking at the debug log, i.e. via > https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot#build `ncspot -d ./ncspot.debug' is quite verbose and ncspot behaves differently, i.e. moving around in the interface doesn't quite work. So when I ran with debug my network must've been stable, after thousands of lines in the debug file I reran it without `-d' to be able to use ncspot properly again.
