Description:
Spotify Connect on iOS often reports incorrect playing track.
Device Information:
iPhone 4S 16GB Spotify 0.9.1.230
iPad 3 16GB Spotify 0.9.1.230
Pioneer A1 (XW-SMA1-K)
To reproduce:
This doesn't reproduce 100% of the time, but it appears to happen for me at least a few times an evening.
Open Spotify on iPhone or iPad.
Start playback.
Transfer playback to another device using Spotify connect.
Navigate away from Spotify on iPhone or iPad.
Once a couple of tracks have played, navigate back to Spotify on iPhone, the track which is reported to be playing on iPhone is incorrect and doesn't update until another track is manually selected. When this happens even going to the now playing screen displays the old track.
Workaround:
Manually selecting another song forces it to go into sync again.
Additional information:
Clean reinstalled on both devices, made no difference.
Tried connecting to a different router incase signal strength in our house was causing an issue, made no difference.
Also happens between a Spotify app and a Connect speaker, it appears it can report any track on a playlist is playing (which is incorrect). Manually selecting a new song whilst the speaker is transitioning between songs seems to cause the issue too.
