Fullscreen progress bar not showing correct time

Device

Operating System

Windows 10

My Question or Issue

When in fullscreen, the seek bar (or the progress bar, whatever you want to call it) doesn't show time accurately at all once going into fullscreen - when there is a song change DURING fullscreen, it works well, but when entering fullscreen mid-track, it will usually display 0:00 and go from there (even though the song has already reached a later point and is still going, making this a purely visual bug), or a spot from earlier in the track inaccurately (still just a display bug, but a very odd one, since I haven't figured out when it goes to 0:00 and when it picks a random early point in the song such as 0:45).

Attached to this post, you will see a screenshot taken in windowed mode, followed by one taken in fullscreen mode right after, without seeking, showing (incorrectly) an earlier point in the song.

To add to this issue, I'd like to suggest the ability to seek during fullscreen, so that the bar isn't purely visual. Other than that, I love the visual update on Windows and by extension the new fullscreen. Good job guys.

Hey @BoggyTheAmazing,

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community.

Have you already tried the steps suggested by @Alex here? Clearing any entries that contain Spotify from the Host files on your system before clear-reinstalling the app could do the trick in this case.

Let us know how you get on. We'll be here if there's anything else we can help with!
