My Question or Issue

The time bar does not work properly, the music is playing but has no time or time progress. On my car, the infotainment does not recognise that is play something, this was not an problem on the anterior version. The issue appeared at the same time with the new updates.

i'd also like to add a rather peculiar issue, the notification bar shows another song while a completely different song plays. i recently did a hard reset to my device so i guess the issue is with the latest spotify updates. Galaxy S23, all notification and access settings are enabled

I use a Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G phone
The notification playback control usually shows all the controls including the progress bar for the music, but since a few days ago it stopped working. The progress bar is now only a straight line and my Mi Band doesn't detect anything playing on my phone so I can't control the playback with it. Sometimes the progress bar works but the song title would be stuck on the first song that was played. This is quite impractical for me and I hope this issue get fixed soon.

Hi there folks,

 

Thank you for all the replies. A fix for this has been deployed in the latest update. Please make sure you're on the latest version and check if the issue persists. If it does, could you please provide us the following:

  • The exact makes, models and OS/Firmware versions of all your affected devices
  • The exact Spotify Versions you use.
  • Screenshots or a video of the behaviour

With this information, we’d be happy to investigate further.

Keep us posted.

It's been fixed for me

I have the same problem with the time bar, but only when I use spotify connect on volumio. Everything works, but the progress of the song is not displayed, regardless of which device I use to control spotify.

Hi, same here.

 

Model Samsung S20 FE.

Phone software fully updated.

All notifications enabled.

Logged in and out twice.

Reinstalled app.

 

Still unable to see play bar.

Hey folks,

 

Thank you for your messages.

 

According to the relevant team, this issue should be fixed now. So we'd recommend making sure that the OS version of your device is up to date and that you're running the latest version of the app.

 

If the issue persists after this, include in your next response the exact OS version of your device, along with the Spotify version you've installed to continue investigating this behavior with the relevant team.

 

We'll be on the lookout.
