Spotify App No Longer Working Mac

For steps on how to play Spotify on your TV, check out Spotify on TV.

To see if your TV supports the Spotify app, go to the app store on your TV and search for Spotify. If your TV isn't listed, you can upgrade it with a soundbar or streamer that supports Spotify Connect.

For more info on the types of devices Spotify is available on, check out Spotify Everywhere.

Everyday I use Spotify whether I am in the car, working in the office, cooking, chores, and anytime I want tunes Spotify is on. No software or service is without its flaws and nuances but one issue got to a point I needed to address it. That issue was with the desktop app from Spotify.

Play directly from the TV app

If the Spotify TV app isn’t working for you:

  • Make sure your TV is connected to the internet.
  • Check your internet connection is strong. Try playing something else to test it.
  • Check your TV app store for any updates to the Spotify app.
  • Check your TV's software is up-to-date. If you don't know, check with the manufacturer for how to check and update the version software.
  • Check your TV is supported by Spotify. You can check this at Spotify Everywhere or with the device’s manufacturer.
