Hi Mdhartha,

Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you letting us know about the behavior you have encountered with the Spotify channel. We would like to know more about how we can help. What device are you using to play Spotify? Also, when did this issue start to occur?

In the meantime, it might be a good option to contact the channel provider and let them know about the issue you're experiencing. Most channels on the Roku platform are developed and maintained by the channel providers themselves.

Keep us posted.

    Hello RokuTakashi,  I have a Roku premiere 4630x. This has been a problem as long as I've tried to play Spotify videos which has been the past 6 months or so.  JRE would sometimes play but most of the time the app would force quit.  Now breaking points just freezes and forces a restart.

     

    I contacted Spotify.  They directed me to you. Thanks.

    Is my device outdated?  Do I need to upgrade?
