This issue was marked solved on another thread with 149 comments and counting. Seems like the bug was fixed a couple weeks ago but it resurfaced in the past couple of days. I'm starting a new thread because I'm hoping someone sees it (they may be ignoring the other one because it's marked solved)

The issue:

Android Spotify app (in my case, on Pixel 2) doesn't recognize ANY devices that are on the same wifi -- my 6 Google Homes/Minis/Chromecast speakers.

I've tried:

- Clean uninstall of Spotify app + re-downloading it

- Clearing Spotify app data + cache 

- Resetting wifi/router

- Unlinking Spotify on my Google Home app and re-linking it

- Unplugging my ChromeCast audios and setting them up again

My husband has an iphone. His is working fine. My friend, who has the original Pixel, is having the same issue as me. 

When I use voice commands with my Google Home asking it to play Spotify music on xyz speaker, the speaker then appears on my app... but get this: it's labled as another speaker (not the one I asked for), even though it IS playing on the correct speaker(s) I asked for. And then when I switch back to phone it immeadiately forgets that other devices exist. Super wonky.

I actually work at Google on the Assistant team- was able to confirm that this is not an issue on their end.

It's driving me absolutely nuts. Please help.
