My Question or Issue

Paging any of the 'Headers' such as 'Popular Albums', 'Popular Artists' to the very end, causes the entire interface to stop scaling horizontally. 

 

Exiting Spotify/Restarting Spotify sometimes fixes this, but other times does not.

Hey there @dstlny,

 

Thank you for your post here in the Community.

 

Can you perform a clean reinstall of the app to make sure there's no old cache files causing this. 

 

Also - Make sure the hosts file on the device doesn't have any entries with 'Spotify'. You can do that by following these steps:

  • Open Notepad as an administrator (right-click - Open as Administrator)
  • go to File - Open and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
  • Choose "All Files" instead of "Text Documents" next to the File Name box. You'll see a handful of files. Pick hosts and click on Open
  • When the file is open, you will see a block of text with # in front of each line and might see entries like 0.0.0.0 website.com127.0.0.1 website2.com
  • Check for any entries with Spotify in the address. Examples may look like: 0.0.0.0 weblb-wg.gslb.spotify.com0.0.0.0
  • If you do find any lines with Spotify, please remove them
  • Save your changes and restart Spotify

If the device has multiple sound cards, have the customer install/update the drivers for each card.

 

Keep us posted 🙂 

 

Cheers!
