Some of the latest episodes of Coqueto Escenario aren't playable in both desktop and mobile apps but they are in the web one. https://open.spotify.com/show/3RY42PichUh8GrCTMa5Kbc?si=9d0e65a92bb1481d

Hi,

Our new episode uploaded last night is having the same issue.

 

URI:
https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XgmLLvbY1n7F56msKzqRx?si=4f983fdb6a1b495d

 

- Desktop App on windows - Not playing
- Direct link on windows browser- Plays fine

 

- Spotify App on Android - Not playing
- Spotify Lite App on Android - Not playing
- Direct link on Android Firefox browser- Plays fine

 

- Spotify App on iphone - Not playing
- Spotify App on iPad - Not playing


This was all tested using several PCs, several phones, different ISPs and 4g providers.

Cache clearing did not help either.

 

Edit: some details I could add:
- Windows Desktop app v.1.1.94.872.g7a9200fe
- Xiaomi Poco X4, Android 11, Spotify Lite v 1.9.0.16672

On the desktop app a message appears briefly with the following notice :

Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks.

  1. I haven't played a single podcast episode on my phone (Nokia 5.4) but not on the web browser (Mac OSX El Capitan) because of this issue. The other podcasts plays as usual.

  • Hello!

My app will not show new episodes in the “what’s new” area, and any new episode (when viewed in their own feed) will not play. You hit the play button and nothing happens. 
I’m able to play the new episodes in the web player only.

 

Spotify version 8.7.68.568

using iOS - updated to 16 this morning 

 

thank you!

ps - as of 11:08 am EST, this is still not resolved. Also, the new episodes are not anything I’m uploading. I’m just referring to new episodes of podcasts I follow. 

Account country South Korea, account device iPhone, 12 promax iOS 16 

I have latest version of Spotify app 8.7.68 . still, I cannot listen to any podcasts not only I cannot listen, but also it does not appearing on my search list . Even when I’m going, throwing links to listen a podcast on Spotify , it is not appearing on my account .

Hi,

Sorry, but I dont´see it as resolved.

 

Our issues persists, desktop App player and "standard" Spotify App are not showing any available updates. Spotify Lite did show an update but the episode is not playing yet.

 

So there hasn´t been any improvement at our end.

 

Thank you.
(I posted earlier the relevant details)
