My Question or Issue

When in the Spotify app on my phone, and my Echo Dot is selected as the Device I am listening on, I am unable to control playback. I cannot skip track, play pause etc.

I can see what is playing, and if I ask the Dot to skip, the phone reflects the new track that starts playing.

If I load up the Desktop App or the Browser App I can control the Echo Dot playback OK.

It is just on the Android App where the controls do not work.

The App shows that I have skipped track, and shows the next track, but playback on the Dot is not affected,

This worked on the Android app previously. Now it does not.
