Sonos One doesn't recognize Discover weekly, or public playlists

Using the same voice commands on an Echo Dot works great, it'll play Discover Weekly, or any of my created playlists from Spotify. However using the same commands on a Sonos One, it "cannot find the playlist". Trying a variety of commands:

Alexa play Discovery Weekly
Alexa play Discovery Weekly from Spotify
Alexa play Discovery Weekly playlist

All return the same error through the Sonos one. Anyone else experiencing this or have a solve?

    have you set spotify as the default music source in the Alexa app? and paired Alexa (amazon Account) and Spotify Premium Account together? and linked spotify premium and sonos account as well

    @dom1da yup, Spotify Premium is set as the default music player with Alexa. The Spotify app also recognizes all the Sonos devices, and our Alexa dot. The Alexa Dot does fine loading the playlists via voice command. It's just the Play One that's not tracking.

    found this on sonos support

    Spotify Radio and Podcasts are not supported when using voice with Spotify at this time. Additionally, in order to play personalized playlists (like Discover Weekly or Release Radar) via voice, you must first Follow the playlist in the Spotify app and specify "playlist" in your instruction.
