My Question or Issue

During streaming to a Chromecast Audio, after a few track, both the notification and the in-app screen show different tracks which are currently playing. I have to refresh the app (e.g. by going back to my library and going back to the currently playing view) to update the display.

The notification does not change at all after once it "stuck". It shows an old track.

I tried reinstalling Spotify, but this didn't help.

 

Here's a screenshot showing both the notification and the screen in the background.

At this time, the screen showed the correct track, seconds before I took it, the view in the app showed a wrong track, too.

My problem does not have something to do with Bluetooth. I'm only streaming to Chromecast.

If the notification or in-app display are "stuck" on an old song, the favorite button and other controls don't work either.

I have to refresh the app to favorite or un-favorite a song then.
