Using Android to control PC spotify shows incorrect track for queue

Using Android to control PC spotify shows incorrect track for queue

Device: HTC One M8 - Android 5.0.1

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start playing spotify on a desktop PC.

2. Start spotify on your Android phone

3. Set the phone to control the PC so it says "Playing From <PC Name>"

4. Select a track from the playlist and Add to Queue

5. When the queue track starts playing Spotify mobile will show the title/artist/art for the next track in the _playlist_, not the next track in the play queue.

Example:

Play Queue (* Playing):


* Foo - Bar

Baz - Blah

Quz Thud

Add to Queue: Mountain Goats - No Children

Play Queue:

* Foo - Bar

Mountain Goats - No Children

Baz - Blah

Quz - Thud

 

Skip to next track.

PC Play Queue:

*Mountain Goats - No Children

Baz - Blah

Quz - Thud

Android will show Baz - Blah as the currently playing track even though No Children is actually playing

Hello shawncplus,

I would not take this as a problem necessarily. As long as your music is playing

, all is well.

Hope this helps,

Ha no that doesn't help, it's showing the wrong song. 

Did you update desktop and Android application to latest version?
I had similar problems in the past.
Also try a clean reinstall on Android phone.
