Videos in playlists not playing

Videos in playlists not playing

I'm using Spotify on Windows through Microsoft Store, and when I'm playing a playlist with music videos in them and it is about to play one of those videos, nothing will happen. The video won't start and unless I skip it, the playback will basically be paused forever. The playlist header and fullscreen mode will turn black when it's trying to play a video, but as I said the playback doesn't start.

 

Happy for any tips on how to resolve this problem, I've tried reinstalling the app already. If it's a bug, please resolve it ASAP since it's very annoying to have to skip songs all the time.

 

 

 

Sidenote: I think this attempt of implement music videos is quite mediocre, even if it would work as intended. Most people does something other than watch the Spotify app when playing music anyway, so it just gives lots of playlist duplicates, increased bandwidth and increased load on the device (resulting in more battery drain and less performance left) for most. Would be SO much better if there just was an option in the player where you could choose to play videos instead of just music when available.

Would love to see an answer to this because I’m having the exact same issue on an iPhone. Thanks!
