My Question or Issue

Today the progress bar on my Spotify stopped working but only when playing podcasts. When I play a podcast it just sits on 0.00 despite the podcast playing. Then when it finishes it just loops back to the start regardless of the queue. This is destroying the functionality of the app for me as I queue podcasts at work where I don't have access to my phone to change the track/podcast.

 

It is a premium account, I have tried the device reboot and clean reinstall and nothing has worked. Music plays fine and progress bar works but for podcasts it's broken.

Hey folks!

Thank you for all your reports and sorry for the late response as we just came across this thread.

 

In order to look into this further with the relevant team, let us know the following info:

 

- The make/model and OS version of your device

- Exact Spotify version

 

Also, and if possible; could any of you record a short video where we can take a better look? You can attach it to your next response by using the Insert Video option in the post editor. You can also upload it to Google Drive and share the link with us (make sure the video has the permissions for anyone to see it).

We'll be on the lookout.
