My Question or Issue

During regular playback in my car or other BT devices; playback is 100% fine.

When I am home, and playing music (over WiFi) through my Google Home devices; a song will play, and then near the end stop playing. If I hit the Play / Pause button; nothing happens. It acts as if it lost the stream / buffer, and I have to disconnect from Spotify Connect; and then restart it. Music will resume; but then on the next song the same thing will happen.

This behavior is not indicative of a network related issue; as it loads and plays fine for awhile; and no other devices on the network are affected. But this consistently happens near the end of the song playback - this is NOT network related if it is happening near the end of the song.

It does not seem to matter WHICH phone / device initiates music playback (or if I start using my voice); as my account is linked and uses that as intended.

I have tried completely removing the app from my devices; un-linking and re-linking my Spotify account; clearing cache; etc. 

I do believe that there is something funky happening with Spotify Connect in this; as this only seems to happen when I am using this method of music playback. Is there a way to access logs or something so that when this happens; I can see what triggered / failed?
