Hi all,
I'll just give this a try as i am absolutely fed up with the way Spotify is (not) working with the Chromecast. The playback is being paused almost every song and if Spotify get's in a fit it will do it multiple times during one song. When playback does not stop, it will randomly skip to the next song when it's only halfway into a song. This has been going on for sometime now and i am truly wondering if Spotify wants to address this issue. I pay a monthly fee, and i may expect the service to be working correctly. You won't here me if this happens once in awhile, but now i can hardly use it as intended.
The above does not happen when playing songs on my smartphone or windows 10 laptop, only when casting. This only happens with Spotify, other services(like Youtube or other apps) work perfectly.
To be sure, i've removed all data and reinstalled the app on my phone. Also put the Chromecast Ultra back to factorysettings. No change whatsoever. My internet connection works fine, no issues when streaming Spotify on my smartphone or laptop.
Hardware/software used:
Chromecast Ultra
LG Nexus 5X (Android 8.0)
Sony Xperia XZ(my wife's smartphone, Android 7.1.1)
Spotify-version on android: 8.4.30.688 armV7
Spotify-version on Windows 10: 1.0.69.336.g7edcc575
I find it hard to believe i am the only one experiencing this, and since the problemen started there have been various updates, but no solution. If anyone has a fix, please let me know(also an answer from Spotify would be appreciated.
With kind regards,
Huib
So....still no answer. I find the lack of support ridiculous.
Hello,
I also have 2 issues.
1.) At the moment I just can't seek any song streemed to my Chromecast Ultra. It's very very strange.
2.) The iOS app also lost the sync with Chromecast, I have to restart my Chromecast to exit from Spotify on my TV.
What's going on here dear Spotify guys???
Hi,
I have a similar problem. Did you find a solution?
OK, thanks for the response.
I find my chromecast audio+spotify to be very umreliable too - don't think it have worked perfect in the two years I have had the setup.
