Morning,
I've used Web Player for years at work, as downloads are locked on our office network.
Since last week the Web Player is working correctly in every way except it won't play anything!
I can search, browse albums/playlists, add tracks to playlists, but as soon as I try to hit a Play button nothing happens.
It's as if the button just doesn't work.
All the buttons in the play bar at the bottom of the screen are equally useless. Shuffle is currently on but a click does nothing, it just remains green.
Any ideas?
I've already followed all the troubleshooting guides I can find.
I'm running Chrome browser on Windows 8.1.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Fixed it!
I'm not exactly sure what the steps were and not convinced I could easily replicate it but it seems to be something to do with Spotify Connect and using multiple devices.
I got home last night and tried the Web Player and was having the same issue on my home laptop.
Not something I normally do at home as I cast from my phone.
I switch between a few different ways of listening (phone, Chromecast, Web Player, Roberts radio) and it looks like that might have confused it the Web Player.
From my phone, I tried switching between a few devices and that seemed to sort it out. Web Player now working perfectly.
Thanks for all your help.
Hey @thepest! ^^
That doesn't sound nice.
Have you tried this?:
Let me know if that helps, thanks! ^^
Peace
No luck, Nico. Still not working.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
I've escalated your issue to the support.
I will reply on this thread with help soon. ^^
Peace
Can you try to use the web player with an incognito window?
Thanks! ^^
Peace
No, that's not worked either.
I've checked a couple of other people in the office that I know use Web Player and it's working fine for them.
Hey @thepest!
Sorry, for the long delay.
Do you have the ability to try an alternate web browser on the work computer?
Can you talk to your IT department in the workplace, to see if they've changed any settings recently. This might have triggered something that started this occurence from their end.
Let me know how it goes! ^^
Peace
I have the exact same issue on Firefox at my office.

Have you tried the Web Player at home?
