My Question or Issue

I have 3 Chromecast compatible devices spread over my house. This includes one Google Chromecast Audio and two different Sony speakers.

All this speakers/devices are listed in the Google Home app and I created two additional groups:

So far so good. Unfortunately the "EG" device, which is a Google Chromecast Audio disc, will not show up in the Spotify app:

This is reproducable on multiple iPhones and iPads as well as on different Spotify accounts. I can play music on the "EG" device only via the "All" group where this speaker is part of. I also already tried to reboot and factory reset the Chromecast Audio device without any luck.

I first thought this is an Chromecast issue but checking other apps like TuneIn and Google Music showed that the "EG" speaker is just showing up fine:

So this really seems to be a Spotify related issue and it would be great if somebody could look into this.

Thanks,

Andy
