Web player stuck on ad

[Zypan]

Spotify web player suddenly stuck on an ad on Google Chrome since 3 days. Tried to reload, sign out, then deleted cookies, cache, history, opened it in an incognito page, logged on different browsers (safari, firefox) and machine but everytime I log in, on any device, the advert box on the left will come back without playing and let me play anything as the play button is greyed out (see screengrab).

Any idea? This is really frustrating.

Thanks

Stuck as well. Done all the above but still on the ad page. It's been a few days since I've emailed tech support but no response... Any ideas?

I've had this problem for nearly two weeks. It's stuck on a Sky ad with no way out. Tried different browsers, and even different computers, no joy.

 Hello! I'm experiencing this same issue and have tried all the troubleshooting options listed above.  I also just subscribed to premium thinking that would help but it hasn't.  Any other ideas would be much appreciated!

Same issue, but alex1992's solution worked.  PLEASE FIX THIS DEVS!  😞

This looks like a bug with the CSP headers in the Web player, introduced a couple weeks ago. The fix is pretty simple, but yes, the web player is currently not working.

They're still looking into things, but in the meantime, please do make sure you've checked the below if you've not already:

1). Ensure you're not using any ad blockers as this could interfere with things

3). Clear the cache/cookies, and restart the device

We really appreciate your patience, and hope to have more news soon.

I have the exact same issue. For some reason, it is just my account. My friend's account works fine on my device, but mine won't play. I have tried everything different devices, turning on and off, troubleshooting. This is really frustrating me so if anyone knows what to do please respond and help.

alex1992's  idea does help, however, its  only a workaround. when i logged in today (after not listening to spotify for a month) the bug was still persistent.

tried the workaround, multiple times till it worked...
