Switching tracks on Chromecast

Hi, 

 

When using Spotify via Chromecast, is there any way to switch tracks on your device's lock screen instead of having to unlock your device and opening the app? 

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately, no there is no way to switch the track from the lock screen. The music info will only show on the lock screen if an iOS app is playing music. Since the Spotify app is not actually playing music on the device, then the info is not displayed on the lock screen.
