Search not working on Roku App

Went to listen through my Roku today and "Search" isn't working / is crashing with:

 

"Search error

Error searching. (code 16.1)"

 

This is happening on both of my Roku 3's, my Roku Premiere+ and my Roku Stick.

 

Though I could give a darn about the "What's New" feature, it also says:

 

"No content available

No content loaded.

Please try again later."

 

"Top Tracks" appears to be working, but I would never listen to anything there.

 

First my playists are taken away from the Roku App and now I can't even search?!?! This basically makes it impossible to listen to anything I WANT on my Roku devices.

 

Really disappointed in Spotify!

the search function on roku stick does not work. error message 16.1 appears any time i type a letter. only "top songs" play (which are of no interest BTW). have tried deleting and reinstalling app to no avail.

 

i agree with others here--until this issue is resolved, this app is basically useless. 

 

please fix!

I am paying for spotify premium ONLY so I can use it on my roku. I cannot use spotify on my roku if I cannot search music...thats kind of the whole thing. Please address this issue or offer compensation for all the down time.

I am having the same issue!

To say spotify premium isnt cheap when you're a student and have little money as it is it's annoying that the app on my Roku wont work 😞

Also why remove the playlists?? I only used it the other day and its brilliant but now its gone.

I recently received my Roku Premiere+ and this weekend, I started getting the same search error 16.1 and couldn't get into Spotify to even listen to it.  I have complained to them and have received one month of Premium free!  My Roku version was7.5.1.411.  I updated to version 7.6.0.4113 and the problem still persists. 

I have a separate and ongoing issue with Spotify in that after listening for an evening, if I either go out to the Roku home page or just pause the song in Spotify, most of the time the next time I want to listen to Spotify I have to reboot Roku for Spotify to work.  This is now an academic issue since with the search error I can't get into Spotify!

I don't know if you noticed that I got a month of Premium for free from Spotify!  If everyone on here complaining would demand a similar credit until Spotify gets off their **bleep** and fixes this problem, maybe that would put economic pressure on them.
