Hi,

Are there any plans to add support for Chromecast? This would be a really great feature.

Hello: @UsernameUser

Try using the ideas from this thread from Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/spotify/comments/1ylgk8/use_playspotifycom_to_get_spotify_working_on/

Count one more for Chromecast support.

It's an absolute must on Android.

+1 on this for sure. Android support without chromecast is almost like a slap in the face, especially when you look at that SDK and consider how little extra effort would be needed to add support when you've already done the heavy lifting with adding general android support.

If I use casting from my chrome tab using your web player, the stream (wich is generated through my PC over my own internal network) is breaking up even in the lowest 480p standard quality setting..

This means that if I want to stream to my Chromecast I should use the SpotiCast (free) app on android via my tablet, smartphone to stream to my chromecast... Because my browser on my Windows PC and the Spotify Client software on the same PC are not able to do so.

Or install a jamcast server setup the spotify plugin and thus stream from my PC using jamcast, not using the chromecast and thus using another device (blue ray player an/or soundbar wich picks up the stream and then sends it to the speakers and TV,..

In any of above workaround is is also imminent that the streaming device is turned on...

This is thus a breach in your Service provisioning,...

Because what I expect from a "Streaming Service in Saas mode is that I tell a receiving device (speakrs/soundbar/tv) to pick up the stream.

This telling can be through your client software, web portal version, app on any device.

But the result should be that after I've told sotify to stream to a ceratin device, I can turn off my app, client, browser; because at that moment the stream would be served directly to the receiver.

Hi yea I'm a bit disappointed that spotify doesn't play via chromecast, hopefully this will be sorted soon!!!

Deezer does Support chromecast nicely. Id use spotify but that lack od feauture does not allow me to use. So bring chromecast to spotify.

I was a premium subscriber to Spotify, but the lack of support for Chromecast made me change my mind. I use Deezer now, but may come back to Spotify when they add Chromecast support.

I use my Chromecast with an Onkyo receiver, and I'm not going to upgrade the receiver in near future.

Is there a plan to add volume level support for chromecast on the windows desktop client like I have from android?  It's weird to have to use two different devices to play to my chromecast!  Glad it's in the app at all though!

Since the new chromecast software (HOME), it's not possible for me to use the read functions of spotify. It's not possible to change the music and add a title to the next reading. Is some one from spotify can help ?

Actions already undertaken :

- Uninstall and reinstall (both chromcast and spotify)

- I have the same problem on all my devices.

system description:

- Android 6.0.1

- Chromecast audio8136 V1.21.74816

- Spotify V 6.9.0.1212

Thanks in advance.

Hi does anyone here know how I can get I. Touch with Spotify Support? Because when I play music over my Chromecast it keeps pausing after every song. Or it will always return to the first song of the playlist no matter where in the playlist I start from. I've tried troubleshooting it. But I get the same problem everytime. I read some users were given alternate accounts that fixed this problem but they had to contact Spotify. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Battery save mode may cause that issue.
