Update 2016-10-23

Hi there,

I can report good news. Currently the Chromecast works a lot better than when I first posted the problem.
I've subscribed to the beta-firmware-channel for the Chromecast Audio and with that latest version and the last updates of the spotify app - things turned out quiet satisfying. I will observe this for another few weeks and give you information about the situation.

But I have hope again 🙂

Thx and maybe you also wanna try.

Regards.

Hello friends,

I'm new to the forum, but need help with my new Chromecast Audio setup and Spotify.

I have the latest Android Version of Spotify installed on a Lollipop phone with Premium Account.

The problem is as follows:
I set up the new Chromcast audio (CA) and it can be discovered by the Spotify-App easily.

But very often, after having connected, it is not possible to play a song.
The app will immediately switch to next without playing.. then to the next.. next.. next.. again not playing.

I don't understand why? Sometimes they work, sometimes not... it's not dependend on the song.. feels like random.

I have to disconnect from CA and reconnect and then it works - but not always?!?!?

When I connect my phone with other apps to CA - it seems to work - so I guess it is a spotify related issue.

Any ideas what to do? 

Thx for your support.

Regards
