My Question or Issue

When trying to play videos in Spotify on my Android TV, the video is really slow, choppy, and flickers to black continuously. I have restarted the TV as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the Spotify app.

Anyway to resolve this?

Uninstall it and cast it to the TV from your phone instead

This is just straight pathetic for a top tech company…unwatchable flickering on my tv probably really bad for people with epilepsy. someone will sue you at some point…

Only way is to uninstall Spotify app on TV and then to select the crome cast option on your phone. 

It works perfectly then despite Spotify blaming the make of TV.

It's so ridiculous that they tagged as "solved" with the argument that casting doesn't flick.

CASTING IT'S NOT A SOLUTION!

That's why I don't use Spotify anymore, only for Rogan, while he is held hostage.

This issue should not be marked as solved, as it is NOT solved. Multiple devices with Android TV have stuttering video playback on the Android TV Spotify App. Casting from a phone is NOT a solution, as the bug was raised for Android TV, not for Android Phone.
