My Question or Issue

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalledy spotify app and am having exactly the same issue. The home screen loads perfectly with all my saved music and all the suggested Spotify play lists. If you select ANYTHING at all, it opens the album/playlist, the play button appears and no matter how many times you hit play - nothing plays! Any ideas?!

I should add, I can play perfectly on my iPhone app and also cast that onto my Samsung tv app - but although the music plays out the tv the app shows no signs that this is happening. It just rests on the landing page?!?!

Exactly the same happens to me since a couple days. I moved to Family plan so I thought it might be related to this change but it seems it is just an issue with Samsung TV´s....

Oh thank you for replying! I thought I was going mad and being really stupid!

I can’t even see a way to contact Spotify directly to raise it... No tv listening for us for now then 😞

I just saw that other users are having the same issue and opened posts about it so it seems to be a general issuea. I hope they will fix it soon 😉

I am having the exact same problem. I have not noticed when it started but I thought it was a problem with my TV, but it wasn't. Does someone have the solution already?
