Unable to find chromecast device

[otie]

I've added ths before, but it was closed (id 1824468).

I did all the things suggested, problem is still there.

A lot of times spotify doesn't find the chromecast audio device. Reinstalled spotify, changed access point, have no offline playlists, occurs on several phones.

A restart of spotify usually helps. More information is in the closed issue ( https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Unable-to-find-chromecast-devices/idc-p/1905264 )

Hi @otie!

Welcome to the Community. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. 

FWe'd like you to make sure:

• You have the latest firmware installed on your Chromecast device.
• Your device is connected to the same WiFi network as your Chromecast.

Then, follow the steps here. After this, follow these steps to connect the device.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

I also have this problem.

It starter before a week I guess. I use spotify with 5 chromecasts in my home. I have used it for about 5 month before without this problem.

It also does not help to close the app and open it again.

What instantly helps is to log out and log into your account. 

I have also reinstalled spotify. Does not make any difference though...

A little bit annoying!

Best

Hi @user-removed! Thanks for that info. 

If it's possible, can you try restarting your WiFi router? Also, does this keep happening if you log into a different Spotify account?

Keep us posted.
