My Question or Issue
I have some playlists that are a mix of local files and non-local files. The local files are on my PC. My Android phone has the playlist downloaded. If I play the playlist on my phone, local and non-local files play fine as expected. If I play the playlist from my phone and Chromecast it to a Google home speaker, then when the playlist reaches a local file I would expect it to just skip it (as I have read in many places this does not work). That sucks but is ok. But what actually happens is the Spotify app just gets stuck when the playlist reaches a local file. The app becomes unresponsive, none of the buttons work. The time count for the song just keeps going up way past the length of the song. No sound comes out and the only thing you can do is kill the app.
