Expected Behaviour:
I want to run pihole ad blocker, but also use Spotify Connect. When I’d go to connect to the raspberrypi (dietpi, and raspotify GitHub - dtcooper/raspotify: A Spotify Connect client that mostly Just Works™) it would just hang and not connect to the streamer.
Usually Windows Spotify app, and phone apps, pick up the presence of the streamer and allow me to cast to it.
Operating System (Family and Version)
- Two piholes for redundancy
- 1: Raspberrypi 3B physical SOC
- 2: docker pihole/pihole - Docker Image,
Debug Token:
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/GtIVjlK6/ ←- 192.168.11.4 I deleted the query log on this one, and reduced the number of days kept to 3
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/f53QQYul/ ←— 192.168.11.5 the docker version, should have full query log.
I found this older thread over here Spotify connect seems to be blocked by pihole
and added this stuff to Domains > RegEx Filter
^spotifycdn\.com$^scdn\.com$^audio-ak-spotify-com\.akamaized\.net$^googleusercontent\.com$
Then I just changed the streamer to static IP with 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 dns servers bypassing the whole thing. Which worked.
