Connecting to Spotify

Posted by: Nicolo on 17 December 2014

Loaded up 4.1 onto my NDS (main listening room), SuperUniti (lounge), ND5 XS (master bed), UnitiQute2 (study), UnitiQute2 (guest room). All units are on the same network and all are hardwired.

The only device recognized by Spotify is the SuperUniti in the lounge and I can play to it with no problems. Sounds good too for 320 Kbps.

Despite rebooting the other Naim devices, rebooting all the network switches and routers, reloading the Spotify app, trying my iPhone And iPad which both have Spotify loaded, restarting the iPhone and iPad i cannot get the other Naim devices to appear as devices able to be streamed to in the Spotify app.

All very perplexing.

Another data point, when I updated the ND5 it appeared in the Spotify app with its default network name. But when I reset it's network name, it disappeared.

Read the new thread at the top of the streaming forum about discovery from Phil Harris, very helpful.

Make sure the airport's firmware is up to date and check the web config screen for a setting called 'igmp snooping'. Disable this if it's enabled.

Very helpful article from Phil. It does seem like I have a device discovery issue. Away for Christmas now, so will try out the suggested troubleshooting steps when I get back in the New Year.

Happy Christmas!
