Spotify Connect Not Working At All

Serengeti95 — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 21:02:03 GMT

Still got premium. It's worked for months, until today it decided to randomly stop working. I can see only the PS4 on both my iPod and Desktop. This is extremely frustrating as i'm paying for this service and i just sorted out all my tech issues. I've tried logging out everywhere and that hasn't worked. I feel like Spotify might be having issues with their connect system as i'm pretty darn sure it's not my end. It's worked fine for ages and nothing has changed since then.

I see. Anyone else who is having issues, I suggest you post in this thread so it can get some attention and Spotify can fix the issue.

First time here and just registred for being able to post, and I see registred 2 weeks ago.

This is not right, I've had spotify for some years now.

Hope they fix it soon, I really really need this feature.

Yep... me too mate. Spotify is no where near as useful to me without it. Hopefully some moderators give us some info... or hopefully Spotify are already aware of it.

same here - i can see my samsung wireless gear under the connect area but it will not connect to anything, the music just plays through my phone/tablet/macbook still (same issue on all 3 devices)

it isnt the samsung gear because the samsung app lets me play internet radio over the wireless speakers still.

MIne isn't working either. It did last week. But this week nothing. I've tried logging out and backin again (on both computer and phone), and I've tried reinstalling the app on both too. Conected to same Wi-Fi but nothing. Shame. Such a useful feature if it ever work.

Spotify connect doesn't work, I cannot see other devices; it's worked for months, until yesterday, and nothing change on my system; I have premium account. I hope this problem will be resolved quickly.

Strange thing happend. Yesterday connect didn't work at all. This morning it worked 1 time. At least he showed me the other device. But on the other device the other didn't show up and now everything is gone again on both devices. Does spotify have problems in their data center? A busy authentiation server? Problems with licences.. I'm reading to many problems on this site..

Same problem for me! Was working fine but now when I go to connect on either ipad or android phone it seems to take a few seconds for it to recognise the Roberts Istream 2 radio, then when I click to connect it just doesn't do it. The connect icon appears to pulse (a bit like it is buffering) but never gets anywhere. Internet radio works fine on this radio so pretty sure it's spotifuggle that is the problem, rather than my wifi etc.

Same problem here. Since yesterday connect is not working under OS X nor under iOS 8.3. Strange enough: It works under iOS 7.

Re: Spotify Connect Not Working At All

Miggyluv — Fri, 01 May 2015 12:10:28 GMT

Yes. Working for me now

Re: Spotify Connect Not Working At All

Working now.

Although, i do have something else i want to bring up. If I'm controlling what gets played on my PS4 through my laptop using the desktop app, when I go to an artists page and play a song.... although it will play... the desktop app will show a different song playing. It gets really glitchy and if the desktop doesn't realise which song is playing... it can cause quite a few problems.... Although, if I search for the song directly, it will all work normally. It's been like this since Spotify came to PS4. I'd love if you guys would look into this as it's really annoying.

Spotify Connect which used to work perfectly on my Galaxy S5 / Yamaha Receiver combo, now refuses to connect at all.

Have tried all the power off / on, app reinstall suggestions that Ive seen but nothing works.

On another thread people have had success changing the DNS Server settings on the Receiver, but that failed for me.

Given that nothing has been updated on my system other than the Spoitify Connect App, it rather points the finger at you guys.

Oh yeah - desktop app works perfectly, so I assume its not an account issue.
