• Playlist selection works once, not multiple times. Need a page refresh to be able to switch playlists more than once.
• Controlling playback on the device Spotify is currently playing on works fine.
• Switching output device however does not seem to work at all.
  Also I was hoping the plugin would be able to find 'all' Spotify Connect devices, it does not in my case.
  It finds 2 devices on which spotify has recently been playing. If I have not used a spotify connect device (chromecast audio in my case) it does not show up in the devices list anymore.

First of all; great work! Absolutely amazing what you delivered with Dashticz.

I saw your post and tried the update in the beta, but for some reason I have the following issues:
- I don't see any control buttons, just the currently played song and playlist/device. Which I both can select though.
- When I activate the 'spotify' block all other blocks just disappear. When I remove it from the columns[] again the other blocks work as they did before. This goes for all the blocks which come from Domoticz, but the weather, calendar and buienradar still do work. Interesting: the sunrise and sunset and fullscreen button also disappear when I activate spotify. Any idea what can go wrong here?

Test results:

• Controlling playback on the device Spotify is currently playing on works fine.
• Switching output device however does not seem to work at all.

The only thing missing for me is that not all spotify connect devices show if if they have not been active recently.
This might not be easy to fix perhaps. For instance, the Windows Spotify client also does not support this. The android app however always shows all connect devices.

This causes me to always have to 'initiate' music play from another device than my Dashticz dashboard (because I have a tablet for this on my wall)

But I'm very happy with this plugin !

Sounds like you're not using the latest version...
If you really do, do you get any errors in console?

I think there's a difference between 'cast targets' like the Chromecast audio, and normal devices like smartphones, PC's and tablets.
My Spotify android app always shows all Chromecast Audio targets, but only devices like my PC when it has recently been playing something.

Anyway, no biggie if it's not doable;)
