Spotify play button does not start desktop client

Spotify play button does not start desktop client

Hello all, Please help

 

The Spotify play button widget is acting strange for me and a lot of users on our web page. It only starts the web player and if it tries to start the desktop player a javascript exception is thrown: "HARMONY_LOCAL_PLAYER_DISABLED" and "Cannot perform command; local player is disabled"

I am using latest version of spotify desktop and Chrome

I have testet on the button in Spotifys own page:
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/widgets/generate/play-button/

I have posted a video of the problem here:

Just for the record. In Internet explorer (version 11.48.17134.0) it only starts the webplayer and ignores the desktop player.

 

I am logged in on spotify web, and desktop client as a priemium member and have tried to reinstall Spotify, as well as tried in different browsers, from different PC´s on different locations.

 

What to do?
