My Question or Issue

Some time ago spotify stopped working on the Fire TV stick.

When I try to open the app on the TV only the login screen shows up. When clicking on my user profile nothing happens. 

When I select the Fire TV as a speaker device on the Android app on my phone the app tries to connect but fails and nothing happens.

I already tried to reinstall the app on the Fire TV and I update the Fire OS to the latest version. The behavior did not change. 

I hope there is a quick solution as it is extremely annoying that I cannot use my Hify system to play from Spotify anymore. 

Would be happy for any suggestions on debugging and solving this issue.

I have the same problem.
Any solution?

Im using Pi-hole and this one blocks "dealer.spotify.com" .

After adding the Domain to the Whitelist Spotify is working again on Fire TV Stick.

Awesome. Thanks for the hint. I did not think about Pi-hole because it was all working fine before. But adding the domain to the Pi-hole whitelist was also the solution for me.

My Question or Issue

When I open Spotify I see my account (Acct # and profile) under "Who's Listenring". When i choose account or Remove, nothing happens.

 I can play songs on the TV app, by going to Web or phone app and choosing TV, but cannot do anything in the TV app with TV remote. I uninstalled and reinstalled app and it made no difference.
