[iOS] iPod Touch no longer appears as Connected

[iOS] iPod Touch no longer appears as Connected

Device

iPod Touch 4g

Operating System

iOS 6.1.6

 

My Question or Issue:

I've been running Spotify flawlessly in my iPod touch 4g running iOS 6.1.6 until some days ago.

I used to log in from my Android phone to use it as a remote, and it showed the iPod as a Connected Device, selected it and it would control it perfectly.

 

A couple days ago I noticed this no longer works (the device never shows as Connected on any other platform, including Android, PC and MAC) and I've been trying to find a solution to no avail.

 

If I play anything on the iPod and then play other song on my Android device the playback stops on the iPod and a pop-up says "Spotify has been paused because your account is being used somewhere else", when previously it would show it as a Connected Device and play whatever I selected on my Android device.

 

So far I've tried:

-Reinstalling App on iPod (latest version compatible from App Store installs 1.8.1.8)

-Restoring iPod to factory, and reinstalling App

-Enabling DMZ on my router to the iPod to prevent port filtering

-Changing WiFi settings on all devices, restoring router to factory settings

-Connecting all devices on another working network

-Closing all active Spotify sessions, resetting offline statuses and re logging on premium account

 

Anyone lost this functionality as well?
