My Question or Issue

When I'm asking Google Assistant to play a specific personal Playlist it just starts playing random stuff depsite in the Google Assitant settings it shows me that I have a premium spotify subscription connected with Google Assistant. Already tried to disconnect and reconnect the subscription but it changed nothing. Hope you guys can help me.

First link Spotify to Google Assistant: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/google-asssistant
I just figured out something for a similar problem: Using Google Assistant on a Note 9 to play a Spotify playlist with only local files. I changed the name of the playlist to my name (Jasmine) and created a routine in GA when I say "Play Jasmine" and an action to play music "Jasmine playlist". Make sure you have Spotify linked to GA and that it is set as your default music player. Same with "Shuffle Jasmine", but with a custom command "Shuffle Jasmine playlist on Spotify". Also for Note 9 users, if GA will not work when playing music (I've had the music on 0% and GA still didn't work, while bixby/alexa did) I used bxActions app to change long press of bixby button to activate GA, but in the end left it with bixby enabled as bixby can do what I need for now. Hope this helps!
I tried "my playlist" "local" and found success with my name for now. Please note, GA might show that it is playing another playlist, but it will play the correct one.

Hey thanks for your help. It worked in my case.
