Unstable bluetooth connection while playing music

issues & bugs
1

I am using Spotify to listen to music abd i did observe some instability while playing.

Once in a while, the music will lag for a fraction of a second. It will resume but it does happen a few times in 30 minutes.

Today, after about an hour, the music stopped but the player was still showing it to be played. I had to reset (press 5 times) and the ask again to play music. It does work but it will say 1st that Spotify is still launching and asking a second time, it will work.

The strange thing is that audio is working over bluetooth. I can ask question and hear the replies. It seems that just the music stream is broken.

As far as I have been able to tell from my testing, the music player lagging happens on less stable connections, but over wifi mostly doesnt happen.

This actually seems to be an issue on the Spotify side or with the r1s web player. Spotify has a built in feature to swap what device is playing music, and I’ve ran into a few cases where the webplayer somehow changes from the active device.

I think its a r1 issue, but I don’t use the feature too much outside of Spotify on the r1 so I can’t be certain. A few times I have also seen multiple webplayers to choose from so…

I got a feeling the issue is the streaming part from the rabbit server to my R1.

We’ll see, with future updates.

I have the same problem , when i connect the r1 to my Car Bluetooth it will lag a lot. This needs to be investigated couse its not fun to listen music that way. Maybe it not supports all Bluetooth Versions? My phone works fine with spotify connected to my car bt and it has the same sim card so its not an internetconnection problem. Maybe the r1 is not buffering enough?
