My Question or Issue

In the Spotify App on my new Samsung tv (tizen) there is a search function. It can search for songs, albums, playlists and podcasts. There is no search results for artists. Type the name of an artist and get zero relevant hits. This makes it impossible to find music by a particular aritst. The lack of this functionality is ridiculous. Please fix.

Hey @5ebastian.

Thanks for getting in touch!

The app for your TV doesn't have all the features that the stand-alone app has. What you could try is use a mobile device as a 'remote' and use Spotify Connect to stream music to your TV. That way you'll have more freedom to browse your library.

Hope it helps. Let us know if it doesn't or if you have further questions.

Have a nice day.

Hi I know there are other ways to listen to music. And I understand that this tizen app does not have feature parity with desktop or mobile. But the app has a search feature, and not matching that search against artist is pretty silly don't you agree?
