Spotify Connect not working on multiple 3rd party devices

Recently there have been numerous reports that Spotify Connect is not working on 3rd party devices like wireless smart speakers, multiroom speakers, sound systems and receivers. 

It's either possible to connect to the speaker using the Spotify Connect picker, but songs cannot be played and playback cannot be controlled, or the speakers appear grayed out and cannot connect at all.

Just an update from me, been extremely busy so haven't had the time before now. My Onkyo have been working flawlessly with Spotify connect since the first time it worked after my "downtime" with the connnect issue. So hopefully there is a solution in the background in the near future for you guys.
