Web player crashes instantly

[reconman12]

Today I wanted to play a playlist. As soon as I clicked on the play button, the whole page became black.

Now whenever I open spotify, it forwards me to open.spotify.com/browse/featured, displays the web player for less than half a second and then the web player crashes.

Chrome console logs:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()

This fixed my problem, thanks a lot. I did it slightly differently as I don't have the app installed on my PC but I have it on mobile: Started playing a random song on there and tapped "Devices Available" then selected my PC from the list. Then stopped playing it on mobile and refreshed the page on my PC and it worked fine.

Thank you.

Another quick fix to that issue (Spotify web player crashing because wrongly loading last played song) would be to try and load any song from its html link, found on the web. Worked for me, thank you Madonna 😜

(had to hit the browser's reload button a couple of times though)
