Embedded podcasts do not play

Vindinho — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 12:23:45 GMT

Hi,

I’m having issues with embedding podcast episodes from Spotify to web pages using iframe today. Embedding seems to look okay, but the embedded content will not play.

It seems effects both episodes I’ve embedded earlier (and used to work just fine) and newly created iframes containing an episode. Tried different podcasts and different episodes. Music does seem to work okay, though.

Tested on Windows 10 (on Chrome and Edge), Mac (Chrome) and Android (mobile). Embedded episodes do not play, and nothing happens when you click on the embedded content. Does not work to copy embed copy straight from the episode, and it does not work to generate a code from this page: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/widgets/generate/embed/

Also tested on the webpage I need this embed on and on http://www.csgnetwork.com/htmlcodetest.html

Same result all over. There is also different language displayed on the "Follow" button. Seems to vary between German (see screenshot below) and Turkish.

Same here. There is an issue with spotify podcast embeds. This is in place for more than 36 hours.
