Problems controling Sonos via Spotify-app / spotify-Linux (spotify connect)

[christophD]

Good morning,

I run into mystique trouble when connecting Sonos and Spotify. And I'm absolutle unsure where the root cause is.

The Sonos system contains several Play:1 and Play:3 and a Connect. It runs rockstable for years. One week ago we started with a Spotify family account. The Sonos devices are listed in mobile app as well as in linux app, BUT

- not all Sonos players are listed everytime

- sometimes devices are listed twice

- playback is not possible on all listed devices from the linux app (if the playback is not posssible the playlist jumps to songs up in front and then stops)

- playback is only possible on one device from the mobile app (If another device is selected nothing happens, only the device list ist closed, but no error message, status info is shown)

If I use the native Sonos app everything is fine!

I tried several hints from different forums without auccess like

- de- and reinstall spotify app on my mobile

- removed the spotify source from Sonos

- refresh the Spotify account in Sonos app

Anyone out here with same problems?

Similar issues here. Sonos app works fine but Spotify connect does not...

Same problem. I can see Sonos speaker in the list but if i click on it it doesn't work.

The problem appears only on my android phone.

Connect works well on Mac app.

Same here, can only play via sonos app. This seems to have started when changing to the annual payment discount Spotify started recently.
