Spotify: Codec Error

JonJon Member
edited April 2017 in Questions & Help
Hi all,
I have logged in from Homey to my spotify account and try to include it in 1 of my flows to play music over my Chromecast Audio. See screenshot.
However, it doesn't matter which song I try to start, it says 'Codec error' when hovering the red triangle after testing and does not play anything.
Anyone a clue?

  • Hi there,

    if you read  the Spotify information on the app page you read that the Spotify is Sonos only. This is a limitation from Spotify who isn't allowing Athom to use the API for music through Homey and other players. They now use Spotify with the capabilities of Sonos. So playing Spotify with the Chromecast will not work.

    App information from the spotify page:

    Spotify for Homey Music

    Lets you play your Spotify playlists and create mixed content playlists with Spotify songs.

    This app only works with compatible speakers such as Sonos and does not work with the line-out speaker in Homey.
