Starting spotifyd renames my computer's hostname

[literallyjustroy]

Description
After installing spotifyd view homebrew and running brew services start spotifyd I received the following popup:

If I go to my macos settings and change it back, it quickly changes again to include the -2. Finally once I stop the spotifyd service I am able to change my hostname back to what it was originally.

To Reproduce

1. Install spotifyd on macos
2. run spotifyd as a homebrew service

Expected behavior
My laptop's hostname should not be modified

I have no idea where logs would be. It'd be great if that info were in this template.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: M1 Macbook Pro on Sonoma 14.0
• Spotifyd: v0.3.5
• cargo: 1.75.0

Sorry for the late reply.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if we can do something about that issue. spotifyd relies on spinning up a mdns service, which seems to interfere with the macOS network discovery stack. A possible fix for this would be to just disable discovery by specifying credentials in the config file or via cli arguments.

Hope this helps.
