Hey @prit_xyd-uuae, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

I'll be happy to help. 

Could you try restarting your Apple TV following these steps? If that doesn't help, try pairing the Spotify app with the Apple TV using a different browser or private window. 

Let me know how this goes!

Hello @Billy-J

just tried all your suggestions, but still no luck 😞

I have the same problem, I tried pairing but it says it’s paired on the webpage but not on the tv . 😞

Have you paired your Spotify before on an Apple TV 4K?

[prit_xyd-uuae]

Nope first time. 
It’s not the 4K version btw, just HD.

I have the same problem. I have removed the Spotify App and reinstalled. I have a spotify account that is based on facebook.

Billy-J’s solution works like a charm

How do I ‘Accept as Solution’?

Did you fix your problem, if so how ? Mine still stays on the pair mode screen :

[airsign]

Did you update your Apple TV ? I updated mine and then Spotify paired !! Hope your works too !

Same problem here. A bit shocked that this thread is already 3months old

[airsign]

Update your Apple TV , that’s how I fixed it !

Hey there @Nevells,

Thanks for reaching out about this.

Have you tried the solution that @Billy-J suggested and updating your TV to the latest available version?

Let us know how it goes. Also send us screenshots of any error messages you receive, if any.

Thanks.

Hi, ended up with updating to latest, pairing and leaving the screen on the pair code. Few hours later I was logged in so seems to be a major delay between the api’s.

Hi @Nevells.

Thanks for your reply and letting us know what worked for you.

Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have more questions.

Hi, I am having this issue too. Whatever bug fix was applied previously is not effective.

I have updated both the Spotify app and my Apple TV. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Spotify app. I've tried putting the Apple TV to sleep. I've tried pairing it in another browser and an incognito window. None of these fixes work...the pairing screen remains on the Apple TV indefinitely.

Please advise how to fix this.

Hi there @rachelsab,

Can you give us a bit more info about your particular set up, like device models and OS versions.

Also can you try performing a clean reinstall of your apps. This is different than deleting and reinstalling the app, as it involves completely clearing the app data which can cause issues when corrupted. Check out this guide for the relevant steps.

Let us know if the clean reinstall helped.

None of the tricks posted here worked for me. It still asks me to pair on my browser every single time. Reinstalling the app or resetting the Apple TV does not help.

I have Apple TV model A1842 and the latest tvOS 14.3. I am pairing from my iPhone which has the Spotify app but it’s ignored when pairing cause it sends me to the browser.

Hey @Mexhigh, 

Thanks for reaching out about this. 

We'd recommend making sure that both devices are connected to the same WiFi network. 

You can also try restarting your router to see if you notice anything new. 

Let us know how it goes.
