Why is my computer making requests to my Roku about spotify?












2















I'm new to inspecting packets with Wireshark so this might be something very stupid on my part. That said, I don't really understand the transaction between my computer and my Roku.



17  1.129097    192.168.1.70    192.168.1.64    HTTP    248 GET /dial/com.spotify.Spotify.TVv2 HTTP/1.1


My computer is 70 and my Roku is 64.



This is the entire HTTP follow:



Client



GET /dial/com.spotify.Spotify.TVv2 HTTP/1.1
Connection: keep-alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Keep-Alive: 0
Host: 192.168.1.64:8060
User-Agent: Spotify/109800078 OSX/0 (iMac18,1)


Server



HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Roku UPnP/1.0 MiniUPnPd/1.4
Content-Length: 0


I don't have anything related to Roku installed on my computer but I do have Spotify running.

          It appears to be a feature called Spotify Connect. Spotify allows you to play music from you phone or computer using your Roku or smart TV, as most people will likely have better sound systems for their TVs than for their computer.



          Presumably your Spotify desktop app is automatically scanning your LAN and querying compatible devices to be able to offer this feature. In your case it looks like you have a compatible Roku, but the app isn't installed on it, so it returns a 404.
