Fixed device id

[vzoltan]

Hi

Is there any way to set a fix device id for this spotifyd ?
after restart or a few restart it gets a new id, and for my automated usage i need a fix id
it can be set for lirebrespot and all the other like it.

Thank you

Would you be able to provide a link or some example of running librespot that shows how to set such device id?

Unfortunately, since this only applies to librespot-java, it is probable that custom device ids haven't yet been implemented in librespot and you would need to request it over there.
