Samsung Smart TV Playlist not working properly

E__D_ — Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:02:12 GMT

Playlist does not go beyond the last played album. In this example, the B. So the favorites and playlists are visible to half of B and to the rest of the playlists I can not scroll. The same problem is on two TV's.

How is this to fix?
I have reinstalled the Spotify app and the Samsung firmware is up to date.

I just checked and my spotify is behaving normally on Samsung TV. Could you explain in more detail what is happening? Maybe step-by-step, what you are trying to do and where it goes wrong so I can try to reproduce?

EDIT: As an afterthought, does the web player behave correctly fo you?

Hi Joe,

Thx for response.

The app further works fine.

I have listened to an album from mine general playlist. For example, Bob Marley, the album Legend. Legend will now remain open and folds not in the playlist Bob Marley. Now I don't see anymore the rest of the playlist, beyond Bob Marley.

Sorry, do you mean you have a Bob Marley playlist which you can't get out of once you open it? Maybe you could post a screenshot of the desktop client or web player to show how your playlists are organised?

I have my music organized into playlist folders. In the folder of an artist I've saved divers albums as a playlist.

But I'm a bit further. It seems that the app on the Smart TV only will show 10 playlist folders. If I change the order of the playlist folders on mine desktop, again only the new first ten playlist folders show.

Can anyone from confrim this?

Hi --

See this other thread: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Other-Partner-Devices/Samsung-Smart-TV-Spotify-playlists-not-complete/td-p/590260

It appears the Samsung TV app has a bug which makes it all confused if the 10th entry in a playlist collection is a playlist folder rather than a simple playlist. A workaround is to make sure that every 10th entry in the playlist collection is a simple playlist and not a playlist folder.

Yeah, weird, I know.

Thx for you suggestion!

And a nice tip to ad every ten playlistfolder a simple playlist,

Hope Spotify will solve this bug soon.
