Hi, I'm trying to play That Peter Crouch Podcast via Spotify to my speakers.  In the S2 app I get an " access denied " message & in Spotify the speakers are greyed out & the cast on plays through my android phone. Any ideas, I've gone down phone & app ipdates & even checked explicit content settings.  All other podcasts I have tried work through the speakers. Any ideas?

Hi @Phil Mallett , Thank you for reaching out and welcome to the community. Sorry to hear about this issue on your Spotify to your Sonos speakers. So that we can check the current status of the system and the Music Service, I’ll ask you to submit a diagnostic report for us to further investigate what could be causing this issue. You may reply to the thread with the confirmation number to assist you with this issue. And you may also try to Renove and Readd the Music service on the Sonos App. Also, Is it only happening on this specific track or all tracks? Have you tried it on another device controller if it is the same error that you'll get?

Let us know what you have in mind with the advice above.

hI @Phil Mallett, Thanks for the update and for sending a diagnostic report of your Sonos system. Upon checking the diagnostic information. Audio dropouts and Audio playback error are detected. You may check this article about Music Playback stop or skips for some troubleshooting steps. And check on your laptop if it will have the same issue.

Did this ever get resolved?

We have precisely the same problem (see screenshot), & it is infuriating to have so much in the way or expensive Sonos speakers only to find the only speaker I can play this on is a cheap Bluetooth unit!

@Mikeiow Have you tried removing Spotify from your music services in the Sonos app and re-adding it?

Did you try the suggestion of removing the Spotify service in the Sonos App? Close (fully) & reopen the App and then reinstall/reauthorise the Spotify service to see if that fixes it.
