The Spotify Android TV app should act like a speaker if you're not logged in

My wife and I both use spotify extensively. We have a couple of FireTVs and an Nvidia Shield that we have the Spotify app (android TV version) installed on. It is a MASSIVE pain to use Spotify on these devices.

If I was the last one to use it, she has to log me out then log herself in before she can use it, and vice versa for me. Typing passwords with a TV remote is basically a non-starter, particularly this frequently.

The only reasonable solution is to have a separate "user" in our family plan for these devices and then maintain a separate device to use as the permanent remote, but this is both expensive and a violation of the family plan's terms of use.

My suggestion: DON'T FORCE ME TO LOG IN. The Spotify app should act like a dumb speaker when you're not logged in to it - accepting connections from within the same network.
