Music won't start playing

Music won't start playing

Since the update from 1-2 months ago Spotify App on my Android Device sometimes won't start playing music (resume).

Whole scenario looks like this:

 

1) I'm listening to music

2) I use pause button

3) I dismiss the notification of Spotify

4) After 8 hours I run Spotify App and press the play button

5) It changes it's picture from "play" to "pause" but the music won't start. Progress bar is also not moving

6) I can push the play/pause button numerous times with no effect both in the app and on the notification.

7) I have to switch to next or previous song to actualy start the playback. Pressing "previous" button once only "moves" progress bar to the start of the song.

 

Sometimes if I do steps 1-3 , and step 4 after few minutes (not hours) it works ok so I tried one more thing. After pausing the music I killed the process, run app againt and tried to resume music - the results are just like in points 5-7. So obviously there is a problem with resuming after the process was "killed" either by the user or by the system itself.

 

I'm a premium user, it doesn't matter if the network connection is on (LTE,3G or WiFi). The same goes to Bluetooth. I've reinstalled Spotify App, upgraded my OS 1 week ago.

 

My Phone - Asus ZenFone 3 ZE520 KL with Android 7.0

Kernel 3.18.31-perf-g6b0a89b

 

As I mentioned at the begining it all started 1-2 months ago. It worked like a charm before.
