My Question or Issue

The Spotify app no longer works on my TV. When I attempt to play songs, it navigates to them on the TV but does not actually start playing. Trying to press the "play" button results in nothing happening. I can still navigate (and add things to my library) from the Android TV app but not actually engage in any playback. No other app on my TV is having playback issues so this is a Spotify-specific problem.

I have attempted to uninstall-reinstall the app AND restart the TV (and both at once). This does not solve the problem. Trying to use Spotify connect to play songs (from either my phone or my laptop) results in nothing, as well.

The update indeed seems to break the spotify app on android TV 8.0 as well. I can't get the app to play any sound and it gets stuck at 00:00 on every track even if I play with play Spotify connect.

The issue is also not resolved by changing the network and neither does a restart of the TV doesn't appear to fix the issue.

I have the same issues. Before the update, I can't hear the sound mo the music but the player progress bar is running. Then I tried to connect my mobile device it no longer connect. Then I update the spotify app. But it didn't work. I unsinstall, clear the cache, re-install and still it doesn't work.
I notice also when I was connecting spotify from my mobile device to my android tv, there's an option to connect to spotify connect and google chromecast. There were none before.
