Spotify Connect Mac and Harman Kardon AVR

[andreas36]

Hi all,

I am using Spotify on a mac and I am trying to connect to my Harman Kardon 151s AVR (which is Spotify Connect ready).

My problem is that spotify cannot always find the AVR. There are times it finds and connects fine and other times it will not show in the list. 

I have configured the AVR to use a static IP, but still nothing changed.

Moreover, when connected and playing music through the AVR, after 1-2 hours of playing music, if I press any button (pause, next song) Spotify kind of crashes, not allowing to click any button and have to restart the app. 

Tried to reinstall the app but the problem remains.

Any ideas?
