3 years ago Yes it matches the info that's on the lovelace card... but I started the playlist from the lovelace card and selected the group and not the device currently being displayed on both, spotify and card.

3 years ago The card uses spotify for all information about playback. It can start playback on chromecast devices itself but any further interaction is done directly with spotify. So as far as I can see, there is unfortunately nothing we can do about this issue.

3 years ago Yes but if I start the playlist from spotify and select the group it shows up correct on both, spotify and card.
This seems to be an issue from the card itself and the way it starts the broadcast or something...

3 years ago I think this is an issue with groups only and the way spotify reports playback. Chromecast has implemented groups but spotify hasnt so there is a master cast device which is listed as playing in spotify apis if i remember correctly

1 year ago I can confirm this as well. I came to report it.
Functionally works, but once playing music, shows wrong cast destination. I have 12 cast devices and 5 or so groups for each room as well as multiple "party" settings for including or not including bedrooms or bathrooms. I'm not sure if I'm overloading the list, maybe?
When I choose to play on "party" or "party2 or any cast group (99% of usage) it says "Bedroom Second Speaker". If I choose a specific device, it will say the correct device. If I set cast to party from my phone, current player shows correctly in both Spotify app and Lovelace.
I noticed that when selecting from phone, it shows "Party" (chrome cast group) under Spotify connect. When listed under chrome cast it does not show correctly.

1 year ago Testing more over the past few hours... The incorrect device that's being displayed is not static. Now it shows a different (also incorrect) device. Additionally, I figured out that the current destination shows up as Spotify connect whether correct or incorrect, so that isn't the reason. I'm going to test adding party to my known devices and see if it makes any difference. Won't be able to test til tomorrow.
It's really odd that it's showing the information incorrectly in Spotify app...yet still working as expected on the correct speaker group.
