My Question or Issue
I have a particular setup in my home office. I have a tiny, Windows 10 Home, headless PC that runs Spotify and is connected to a nice sound system. I control Spotify on this PC using my main desktop (Windows 10) or my iPhone. For the most part, this works great. I can easily listen to great, high-quality tunes through Spotify. But there is one, ongoing, persistant issue.
Every Monday when I have a new Discover Weekly playlist, I cannot play that playlist on the remote PC. For example, I'l go to Spotify on my main desktop, select Discover Weekly, click "Devices Available", select my remote Spotify player, click "Play" and... nothing happens. It doesn't matter if I select the Spotify player first and _then_ click Discover Weekly. It also doesn't matter if I try to play the Discover Weekly playlist on my iPhone (or other device). No matter what I do, the Discover Weekly playlist (and _only_ the Discovery Weekly playlist) will not play on my remote PC.
The problem is that the remote PC won't load the new tracks for the Discover Weekly playlist when I remotely ask it to play that playlist. So here is the workaround: the first time I ant to play my Discover Weekly playlist I have to use TeamViewer to manually control Spotify directly on the remote PC. This is how I noticed that the tracks aren't updating. The Discover Weekly on my remote PC always has last week's tracks in the playlist. Not the new ones. So I shut down Spotify and then restart it. Then I click on Discover Weekly and Spotify downloads the tracks. Then I disconnect from TeamViewer and from that point on I can control the Discover Weekly playlist on my remote PC as expected. You know... until next week.
This isn't the worst thing in the world. I've even got TeamViewer on my iPhone now so that I can start up the Discover Weekly playlist on Mondays without logging into my main desktop if I don't want to.
But it would be nice if I didn't have to use a work-around.
Also: I think there's the same problem for the Release Radar playlist on Friday.
Thanks!
