Spotify integration stopped functioning properly

Spotify app looses ability to change songs, pause or anything really. When first songs is played from the app it works, after that, play, pause, next & prev doesn’t do anything. The album art is changed in Spotify app, however AmpliPi is playing first song and the time in Spotify app is set to 0:00 and there is little gradient animation in a song progress bar (while there is album art presented of a song which is not playing). When I switch output from amplify zone to this phone it plays the song immediately.

For this issue I requested support tunnel

Hey CtrlAltMusic!

This is a problem we’ve faced a few times over the last few months, Spotify has been overhauling their backend and sometimes that breaks implementations like ours for a few days before things stabilize again, see here for further details.
