My Question or Issue
When i stream de JRE from my phone to chromecast i only get audio, no video. If i'm only using my phone i get video.
Yeah, how DARE they call this solved??? Absolute con artists.
Actually I am the one that made the post about Spotify working on my Sony Android TV, but I had trouble login in with my normal account.
Something to try: I had to update Spotify manually on the playstore..
Another thing, I'm in The Netherlands, maybe I'm a beta tester or something 😉
You can’t. Spotify has made the podcast inaccessible to millions
Yes what a new and interesting idea, playing videos on a television. Better move fast before somebody else beets you to market. HOW IS THIS A THING?!?!?! He makes the videos all you have to do is add the feature, **bleep** you don't even have to add the videos your selves you can host them on a number of services and only have them available on yours. This is not some new or novel concept. Not to mention how would any of these get "enough votes" whatever that means., when you allow people to create new ones for the same topic all the time? I have seen several of these with votes ranging from less than 10 to the thousands. Which after using your website it makes more sense now, everything is only half way thought out.
Still having the exact same issue I've been having all along. My device is a Samsung S20 ultra 5g on AT&T. This issue happens regardless of being connected to either wifi or cell network. The moment my phone connects to ANY Bluetooth device, speaker, headphones, car audio or Video device, the video on the podcast stops playing and becomes audio only. The only way to watch the video is to have my Bluetooth on my phone off. This has been going on since the moment the JRE switched to Spotify. This is not the first post I've made about this and judging by the sheer amount of other comments I'm far from the only one it's effecting. I've been a paying Spotify customer for years but this apparent lack of any semblance of motivation to address this issue that is affecting 10's of millions of subscribers is making me rethink that subscription cost. YouTube music is looking awfully tempting at the moment. The saddest part about this situation is that you (Spotify) won't even take the time to speak on the issue. If you were to simply speak on the issue, and I don't mean a three sentence statement, but actually factually, honestly and sincerely address and update your subscribers, you may actually find some patience on our part.
Start playing the video on your phone app then hit the button that lists all your devices, Hit the three dots next to the device you want to play the video on and select Google cast. The default option is Spotify connect which does not play video.
Works on Android TV.
It doesn't cast your whole screen, just the video.
When JRE announced he was moving from YouTube to Spotify I was ambivalent. Until I found I can now only listen and not watch on my TCL Roku TV. I can’t believe that for a tech company you **bleep** the pooch so badly. This shouldn’t be something your users have to “vote” for, fix it already.
Spotify is systemically woke. There is no other explanation for Spotify getting Rogan months and millions of dollars ago and them not having a smart TV app that supports video. This about more than the desire of the majority. Spotify is catering to the will of a minority of people that make a lot of noise. Helluva way to run a business.
Hi Xenia,
I hope this finds you well.
So I had not tried video play back in awhile as I gave up, but I gave it a go today. I was delighted to see there was an update for my smart TV app as there hadn't been one in a long time and there was an update for my phone app.... so I thought THIS IS IT! (image of updated versions attached)
Alas it was not, video playback still does not work on my TV. Whether I search and play directly on the TV or if I stream from my phone, only audio plays back.
Surely there is something wrong here? I find it hard to believe that such updates were launched without this feature being addressed.
I know some people have it up and running but I still don't and it's very frustrating. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change? Any help you can offer would be great.
Kind regards,
Brian O'Neill
If you can't find an idea for the specific device you'd like to be able to watch podcast videos on, you can always submit a new idea for it.
Cheers!
