Autoplay not working correctly

[11156314249]

Spotify autoplay is not working for me either but its only when I am using spotify connect to stream to my chromecasts (one in the living room and one in the kitchen) that its not working and its only when I am using my android phone (pixel 4a).

So when I am just playing on my phone (not streaming) it works fine.

When I am streaming using connect with my iPhone 8 to the exact same chromecasts autoplay works fine.

I have never had this problem before using my iPhone and I have only started seeing this after I got my Pixel 4a and started using that phone instead.

I have done all the usual stuff - cleared cache, re-installed the app, logout/login multiple times. I am using facebook to authenticate.

Also I have been to two of my friends places and have the exact same problem at their place on their wifi - autoplay does NOT work when streaming using connect from by pixel 4a. So I am pretty sure it not related to my network.

Details Pixel 4a

Android version: 11

Spotify version: 8.6.18.720

Detail iPhone 8

iOS version: 14.4.2

Spotify version: 8.6.16.1012

I am using spotify premium and autoplay is probably the thing I enjoy the most about spotify.

Also a curious thing. I just re-activated my Tidal subscription which also has a autoplay feature and guess what I see the exact same issue going through the exact same scenarios above.

I found a procedure to work around this issue:

paly a song
pause
auto play off
continue song
pause
close app
open app
auto play on
continue song
next song (more than one time if necessary)

I hope this can help other people. Have fun

It is 2022 now and Autoplay is still not working with Android app and Chromecast.

Not sure what I am paying premium for, I guess I go back to Google music then ...
