Chromecast does not work since v4.5.9.820

Hi,

Since the 4.5.9.820 update of the Spotify android client a couple of weeks ago I haven't been able to connect to my first generation chromecast(s).

I can see the devices in "Settings" -> "Connect to a device" and when I click on the device the Spotify loading screen starts but after a few seconds it exits back to the Chromecast backdrop.

I have tested it on two different phones: One Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (running Android 4.4.2) and one LG Nexus 5X (running Android 6.0.1).

I have also tested this on both my Chromecasts, both of which are the first generation chromecasts. I have of course rebooted all phones and Chromecasts and I can cast other things to them (Netflix, Youtube etc.)

None of that helped, but thanks anyway.

I was however able to start Spotify on my Chromecast using my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (running Android 4.4.2) and after that it seems to work on my primary phone (the Nexus 5X) also.

So the problem has disappeared...
