Spotify plays and pauses constantly (100 times per second) on chromecast

[wulenpoow]

Spotify premium, installed on multiple devices (apple and android) with the same account. Mostly playing on chromecast, also on headphones or Bluetooth

My Question or Issue

After a while I decided to cancel deezer and get back to spotify. I used my existing account and bought spotify premium for a month. I mostly play on a chromecast, controlling from phones (apple and android). After a couple of songs, Spotify constantly plays and pauses, like 100 times per seconds, resulting in garbage.  On the chromecast, you constantly see the pause icon. On my phone I constantly get a pop-up, saying 'spotify is trying to play'.

It's pretty annoying. How can I fix this? I've tried reinstalling apps on the phones (including deleting cache and data) resetting chromecast to factory default, singing out of all devices... The only solution i have right now is going back to Deezer. I'm giving spotify a month. How can I resolve this?
