For steps on how to play Spotify on your TV, check out Spotify on TV.

For more info on the types of devices Spotify is available on, check out Spotify Everywhere.

Play directly from the TV app

We recently installed the Xfinity TV Streaming App 'Beta' on a new Samsung Smart TV to stream our Xfinity cable subscription via Wifi. The app will not stream live local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC) and won't stream some live random subscription channels. Although our local PBS channel streams without any issues. If you previously had Demand 5 installed on your Samsung TV and find that My5 does not work properly, you may just need to reinstall the My5 app. The easiest way to do this is as follows: - Press the Smart Hub button on your remote. Move across to the Featured tile and press select. You should have the blue Apps tile highlighted, just press select again.

If the Spotify TV app isn’t working for you:

Make sure your TV is connected to the internet.
Check your internet connection is strong. Try playing something else to test it.
Check your TV app store for any updates to the Spotify app.
Check your TV's software is up-to-date. If you don't know, check with the manufacturer for how to check and update the version software.
Check your TV is supported by Spotify. You can check this at Spotify Everywhere or with the device’s manufacturer.

Still not working?

Restart your TV.
Restart your WiFi.
Delete the Spotify app, then reinstall it onto your TV.
If possible, try a different WiFi connection.

If the problem persists, you may need to perform further troubleshooting on your device or WiFi connection. Check out the support sites for the service provider or device manufacturer for help.
