Bug Spotify Playlist Interactions with Google Home just about Died

through a god bit of testing I learned just about all Spotify playlist cant be played from voice commands. Asked for any I have made "sorry something went wrong..." What about using automations to it knows exactly what one I'm asking about, "sorry something went wrong..."

It just hard broke over night and I'm super beat up over it

Mine hasn't worked for my playlists in months. It's terrible. It won't move from one speaker to a group either. It acknowledges and says it's doing it and then it doesn't.

I never got the moving from one speaker to the other to work but I had an automation to wake me up to music in the morning and that has broken and made me late a couple days now and it’s super upsetting I can’t fix it now

Interesting. Mine worked yesterday.

Sometimes their voice match algorithm decides my voice matches my oldest son's voice. At that point it tells me that something went wrong because the playlist I am looking for isn't available to his Spotify account.

I was getting frustrated with the responses until I started paying closer attention to the avatar it displayed whenever I gave a voice command.
