Spotify frozen on playlists

12 replies
Hey folks. When I put my BS5 onto spotify and point to "playlists" it seems to freeze. It plays the current song but displays only the word "loading......." No controls then work and the only way to switch it off is at the mains. Everything else works fine, ripped CDs, radio and spotify other than on playlists. Anyone else had anything similar or got any ideas?

I have the same problem from 19.00 pm until now (23.10 pm) Boring!

 

I also am experiencing Spotify playlist problems. Created a new playlist on my ipad. Then checked BS5. No playlists, just a message saying loading, and then locked up. Had to unplug from power.
Ok. Sounds like a software problem if it's not just me.. We should expect an update. I'll check in with my dealer and report back If he has any info. I will stick to non-spotify for the time being.

same problem here! maybe spotify change something on the interface and b&o have to update the software?

okay, but after 5 minutes or so "loading" everything works as normal. maybe only a update from spotify and the bs5 must reload all spotify playlist? 

Same here - loading... For some minutes

after that everything worked as usual - next startup was normal with loaded playlists.

I will give that a try. Thank you.
One hour on still loading. Something not right here.

Unplugged mine last night and plugged back in. Did not try Spotify again until this morning. Playlists are working now. Also, I noticed last night on my V1 and today on the Beosound 5 an extra playlist that I did not make named Discover Weekly. Is that something new? Or have I just never noticed before?
