Hey @3X0karibu, help's here. 

 

We understand you already did this, but make sure all devices are on the same WiFi network. 

 

If that doesn't work, make sure that:

  • Your Spotify apps are up-to-date. It might be an even better idea to reinstall for a fresh start.
  • All devices’ software is up-to-date. If you don't know, check with your devices' manufacturers for how to update the version software.
  • If possible, try switching between different networks and see if that helps.

Try using mobile hotspot to connect the devices to the same network if possible.

 

If there are too many local files, try with just a few, create a test playlist.

We also suggest you check out this help article for further info about local files.

 

Hope that helps 🙂
