Playlists not syncing to Roku

[Cicicullen]

: All my playlists are missing from Spotify on Roku. It seems my accounts are suddenly not syncing or Spotify doesn't recognise the device. This worked fine until last month.

Some of my playlists have synced 3 have not. Restarting the Roku did not fix it.

Same here, it's been a few weeks already and it's getting annoying because it's the only way I can listen to music out loud in my room...

[Cicicullen]

I emailed customer support. They say they are having technical difficulties
and will look into it.

[mbird2132]

Tech support suggested that I uninstall and then reinstall the Spotify app. I have and it still does not load 3 of my playlists. I am able to listen / access them on my phone and computer.

I've tried this to but to no avail.
Thanks for suggesting.

Still having the same issue in March. The only playlist that appears is Starred and even that one is empty when I click into it. Tried reinstalling the app, but get the endless "loading" screen

Lol it was fixed but now they took playlists off the menu... shaking my head. Pandora 👀👀

[Hellmeister11]

It doesn't even give me the option to choose playlist from the menu. Why am I paying 12.99/mo?? 😡😡

I'm having the same problem on Roku and Samsung TV. No playlists for a couple months! Spotify, PLEASE fix this or I will have no choice but to cancel.

How do I get my Spotify account on my laptop to my roku tv?

Hey @LukeCage20951,

Thanks for your reply and for the info shared.

In this case, if you want to open your Spotify account on your Roku TV, you should install the app in it. If you cannot see Spotify in the Roku Channel Store, it's most likely because your Roku device does not support Spotify. We located this guide, so you can follow it to check if your Roku TV supports Spotify.

Once you've checked that and Spotify is installed on your Roku device, you can control music playback using your Roku remote, or via Spotify Connect on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. To do it, make sure both devices are on the same WiFi and you've logged in onto the same account.

We hope you found this helpful. Let us know if you need anything else. 
 

Cheers!
