Spotify Connect Broken: Randomly Pausing (Yamaha AVR, Gramofon, Panasonic, Samsung and others...)

[Bullfinch]

Got the same problem with my Yamaha R-803D, which is connected via Wifi.

I can press Pause and Play on my Spotify to resume playing or alternatively skip a song on the Yamaha Remote.

I also have this problem along with another serious issue: When playing a shuffled playlist to my networked speakers, Spotify unshuffles the playlist. It sometimes goes back to the beginning, but always starts playing songs in the order they are on the list. It also mangles play when queueing tracks. It happens whether I am playing from my phone (Android) or computer (Mac).

This is on a system with a GGMM E2, E5, and two E3s. It worked fine for about a year before having any of these issues.

Did you find any solution? I have the exact same issue on my zeppelin while with Bluetooth it works

For anyone having trouble with any of the issues in this thread I would suggest doing all the suggestions such as resetting device. If nothing works contact support@spotify.com

My issues with Yamaha receiver and Roberts radio resolved only after contacting Spotify.

I have the exact same problem. Streaming to a Yamaha rxv 483. Lasts for 30-40 seconds, then its paused. E-mailed Spotify about it waiting for a response

I have the same receiver and i cannnot connect Spotify to my system via MusicCast. They are updated and firmware upgraded and on the same wifi 2,4 ghz. My system appears in the list of devices on the Spotify but i cannot connect them. I'm using a galaxy s9+ on Android Oreo.

I contacted the support as well: no solution! After three times answering questions on my devices firmware versions, that I already sent, I quit answering. After all, I didn’t receive any solution. 😟

Spotifycares responded to me that YAMAHA R-N803D is not suported by this app yet and to keep an eye on the new updates.

Not according to Yamaha: https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/r-n803d/index.html

I'd go back to Spotify and point this out.

Received this -We don't have any info on this right now, but we'll let the right team know it's something you'd like to see.

Just replied to them.
