Bug: Long Playlist Names freezes App

Bug: Long Playlist Names freezes App

Hi there!

 

I found out that long playlist names are a problem for the iOS Spotify App, especially in the full screen mode. 

 

In my example (look at the playlist: Zen Meditation and Natural White Noise...), which I have imported to my library, but not downloaded. I can listen to the playlist with no problems. But when I want to enter the fullscreen mode, the app freezes - while the audio playback continues. Exit the app via Home Button an reenter the app will crash it.

So, there is no way to enter the fullscreen mode it there are long playlist names.

 

I use the App on an iPad 3rd Gen with the latest Apple and Spotify Software Updates.

 

Thanks for the fix!

Hi,

 

Firstly, I don't have this problem with my Spotify for iPhone 4S. Is your Spotify and iOS device up to date? Try filling out the troubleshooting template here: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-iOS-iPhone-iPad-iPod-Touch/iOS-Troubleshooting-Spotify/td-p/105...

 

If your problem persists, Please post this in the bugs section of the Spotify community which can be found here: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Bugs/bd-p/Bugs

 

That way, your problem should probably be addressed faster,and if other users have the same problem, you will find out. Obviously for now if you want to access full screen mode, shorten your playlist names, but I'm sure you know that already.

 

Feel free to let me know if theres anything else I can do to help 🙂

I also get this exact same behaviour on ipad mini. Playlists with short names no problems but as soon as I try full screen with a long playlist name the app will freeze, continue to play the rest of the track and then stop.

If there were an alternate way to play songs via AirPlay this wouldn't be such a big deal but seeing full screen is the only way to access the airplay options it is.
