No song is playing on desktop

masterofsound — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 16:29:09 GMT

If I start a playlist or song from the windows 10 desktop app, no song can't be played. It jumps from track to track without playing. If I start from android and hand over to the desktop ist works. Any ideas? Thanks...

Still no solution or answer from Spotify? This makes me angry...

The problem still exists: Playing from PC is impossible, from Smartphone it works.

All song are skipping...

Hi @masterofsound

I'd recommend uninstalling your player and reinstalling it. Also restarting your PC.

(This part is not by me but from @bittencourt ) In https://community.spotify.com/t5/Accounts/My-spotify-broke-completely/td-p/4684059

Also Please try following these steps:

1. Press the windows key and type in Spotify (or you could probably just find it on your desktop - if so skip to step 3)

2. Right click on OPEN FILE LOCATION

3. RIGHT-click on the program and left click on PROPERTIES

4. A tab should open up titled SPOTIFY PROPERTIES, with six subtabs labled SECURITY, GENERAL, DETAILS and etc.

5. Select the COMPATIBILITY tab and highlighted in blue is a button labled RUN COMPATABILITY TROUBLESHOOTER.

6. The troubleshooter should run you through the rest!

Did a new and clean install already. This happens from time to time, sometimes it works after logout and login again.

I can control other devices from the desktop playing the same playlist the desktop is not able to play.

And I don't see any compatibility relations here. This is a windows 10 PC and a windows 10 store app.

It's seams to be a licence problem...

@masterofsound

There seems to be some unstability in the desktop app lately and there are some workarounds working for some users. You can track them under the ongoing issues board. I believe they are gonna be fixed soon, please be patient 🙂

I wish you a nice day!

Hi @masterofsound

Try downloading the app from the website here. It should help. If it continues then try the steps in the above answer.

Cheers!

I tried both version, Microsoft store and the download version direct from Spotify. Both shows the same error after some time, so still my guess that it is a licence problem.

Actually it's playing without problems...

Alrighty, Then @masterofsound. Reach out if you have any more problems :D.

Based on my experience so far: The problems will come back... until Spotiy will adress this issue 😉

Thank you for your time!

Just a little something I found while browsing through the posts.

If the problem occurs again try this.

Cheers!

Thanks. Because I create the host file on my own, there is nothing like that in it 🙂

This f*** me up 😞
