A user on the telegram channel reported that updating spotify to the latest version resolved the issue. Are you on the latest spotify build.
Hi Manoj,
Someone on this thread already said the update worked for them.
Unfortunately did not work for me on any OS version all running the latest update.
Have not had time to study 1.15 changelog to look for any background app rules management change.
Could there be some sort of regression?
Yes I am, also did a reinstall of the app.
I also reinstalled the app and am on the newest version.
Getting two different versions here. One where users with the latest version of Spotify are not facing the issue, another where despite the upgrade, the issue persists.
This will require an issue to be raised on gitlab. Pl also add logs to the issue - generated after you face the issue. Pl always check the logs before you post them and ensure that they do not contain any personal data.
Hi everyone. I’m on the same boat here. Running /e/OS 1.16 on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 pro. Spotify controls are not showing on start screen and starting or stopping the music over my BT headphones is not working. I have Spotify version 8.8.82.634 which is the last version afaik. I hope a solution comes soon.
Hi everyone, I am also impacted by such issue. It is related to the last spotify update. The workaround is to reinstall an oldest sotify version like the 8.8.78
. I reported the issue there https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/backlog/-/issues/1755. Now we have to know if the issue come from spotify or if it is about missing feature from /e/OS.
Also it mayb be good to report such issue in spotify community too https://community.spotify.com.
Theres an update to the spotify app which solved the issues for me at the first glance. I justed wanted to let you guys now, although i’m only using it for 20min so far.
edit: same issues after 1h.
I’m afraid my conclusions were premature. The prandom playback pause issue still doesn’t seem to be resolved
Having this issue on Murens FP4. Spotify Version 8.8.90.893, eOS 1.18 beta, though I had the issue before subbing to the beta channel.
Problem on pixel 5 too.
Temporary solution: force spotify to stop before each use.
If a script can be developed to reboot the app at each launch it would be great.
Thanks in advance
Probleme sur pixel 5 aussi.
Solution provisoire: forcer l’arret de spotify avant chaque utilisation.
Si un script peut être développer pour reboot l’appli a chaque lancement ce serait bien.
Merci d’avance
Same problem here on an FP4, currently with /e/OS v1.17 and Spotify version 8.8.92.700. I am quite sure the issue first appeared already under /e/OS v1.15 or 1.16. The lastest Spotify update solved the issue for a few hours (much to my relieve) but then the quick access control on the lockscreen went back to freezing, and the music started pausing again randomly. Besides that, all Spotify functionalities work.
Hi everyone! I have a few questions for yous:
1/ Anyone tested spotify on another type of device? I have a similar type of issues with spotify on linux with bluetooth devices.
2/ has anyone opened an issue with Spotify?
3/ does anyone using other music streaming services (deezer and the likes) on mur/e/na encounters similar issues?
I’ve spoken to people using stock Android who are having the exact same issue. So, it appears to be an issue with Spiffy, rather than with /e/.
I use Spotify on a Galaxy tab with android and on windows, none of these issues on either
Merry Cristmas Everyone!
I’ve been testing this version for a few days now: 8.8.78
Everything is working!
Obviously not a long term fix, more of a workaround while issue is reported to Spotify’s dev/support teams for investigation and fix.
Thanks funky Nicofonk for your downgrade suggestion!
In conclusion: this issue comes from Spotify
Where can I get the older Version/ downgrade the app?
Do I have to pause autmatic updates then in general or is there a way to limit it down to specific apps?
1 of the most reliable sources is apkmirror.
As for auto updates, I do not use them, but this is my personnal point of view.
