Web player on android devices

Hi,

I've been waiting for the web player for quite a while and am really happy to see that it is finally in beta. The main reason I wanted a web based player was that I thought I would be able to use it on my google tv (for some reason spotify hasn't decided to offer their android player on google tv.) Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that it doesn't work - it just hangs saying "connecting to Spotify..." in the web player UI.

I just want to know if this is by design or a bug. Is there any hope that someday I will be able to get spotify to work on my TV, or do I need to start looking for a new tv from one of the "hardware partners?"

For anyone else that sees this, when I try to bring up the web player now, it says "To enjoy Spotify, please install Adobe Flash. It's free." My TV already has flash, but I assume it's the wrong version or something. Too bad spotify uses flash.
