This should all work, if not, then Spotify have an escalation team that will provide you a temp login to run deeper diagnostics. This only makes the process longer if have to go back to the start. SorryĪ hint I wish I had considered, stop at the critical devices and don't try to connect the whole house/office again.
There will be one device that holds a lingering bit of Spotify history and due to the way the apps connects your profile across devices, it spreads. If all fail, you may have sadly met the same roadblock as I did and had to go back to the start. If one doesn't, go back and repeat the process with that device. It may prompt you that it found a network, accept this! If not, go to the settings again, devices and add to the network manually.ĭevice three may require you to sign out of one of the first two devices first if your licence restricts the amount of devices using Spotify at once.Īs you work through these, be sure to go back and check the main devices still cast. Open Spotify, and try looking for a network to cast too. Start your first device, connect to your network and check again Chromecast with a browser or audio streaming app works. If you are going this far, go all the way! I did it countless times and so I have added it to the mix. Check incognito windows, check anything you can find and delete Spotify.Īs above, this took me some time but was critical, as I missed one, started loading them all up again and one set it all back to zero again. Painful but there are strings connecting these and these hold history. Remove the device from the network again if you needed to connect it, before going to the next device. Delete the cache of browsers, all browsers. Sign out!ĭelete all history of Spotify in the app settings of the device itself. Check through the settings and delete anything you can find relating to the network. Go to Settings>Device> three dots or click on the Chromecast devices if you see it. One by one, open a device and open the Spotify app. I found other apps worked fine, until I opened Spotify and then they would all stop. Part of my solution was isolating and removing Chromecast as a problem. If this is all working with an app or browser that allows casting, you are good to go.
Re-connect this to the network and test it. Not because it was at fault, however, somehow Spotify was looking for the old device.
A real pain but I found out I also needed to factory reset this. In one case, I had an old laptop that someone must have used a browser to listen to Spotify, this needs to be off the network.Ĭhromecast. Just one device, even in sleep mode may prevent this from working. Remove all devices from your network, as in turn off wifi. Just those that are on your network and have had Spotify going. Don't worry about devices you no longer own, however. While it may take a few minutes to read, it took me weeks to solve it so I hope this helps.įirstly, before doing anything, make sure you have at the ready, all devices your profile is connected with and may or may not have casted in the past.
