My Question or Issue
Spotify application in windows 10 constantly disconnects giving error code 04. It starts up and shows blank pages then spits out "this page is not available offline" then the blue box at the top says error 04 and it says offline at the bottom left. It stays like this for minutes before going online for seconds then proceeding to go offline again.
Originally it was always offline but after Port Forwarding 4070, 443, 80 it now connects for a few seconds before going offline.
The web application works flawlessly, the phone version works flawlessly, the windows application has never worked as intended for me.
I tried running though multiple solutions found here and other places as well as from support directly (which culminated into just being "use the web version" as an answer).
So here is a list of what I have done already:
- Port forwarded: 4070, 443, 80.
- Flushed DNS ( as told to do by support).
- Re-installed application.
- Clean installed application from both the website application and the windows 10 app store.
- Made exemption in firewall/anti-virus.
- Allowed access through windows firewall.
- Changed DNS settings: 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4.
- Changed proxy settings in Spotify to every available setting and restarted each time.
- Tried using a VPN.
- Deleted all of Spotify in Appdata in both Roaming and Local.
- Toggled offline mode on and off.
- Restarted Router.
It's getting ridiculous at this point especially considering the high price of Spotify Premium. Using the web browser isn't an acceptable solution to a broken application.
If there are any other tips people know off please let me know.
