Hi,

I don't think you can do anything about this, just wanted to leave this somewhere where people can find it.

Whenever I connect my android device to librespot, spotify crashes immediately. Everything works as expected on iOS devices.
I changed the --device-type from homething to speaker and everything works again.

Out of curiosity... Why do you use the homething device type xD?

I pipe the output of librespot to snapcast. So there are multiple devices behind this one librespot instance.
Also this runs on my raspberry pi. So not a speaker strictly speaking :)
I thought it would be nice to reflect that in the icon on spotify.

Did they ever release their homething product? I assumed not and guess they removed all support for it. We could just remove this footgun.

PR #1471 removes homething as a devicetype option. Not sure how to handle breaking changes though?
