Spotify does not detect other network devices

Hi,

In my previous installation I was able to stream spotify using it's inbuilt streaming functionality. I was able to select my soundbar from within spotify and play my music from there.
In my current installation I cannot do the above anymore, which ruins my day and makes me wanna slap my neighbors in their face.

So if you would like to help my neighbors, please help me fix the above as I am sure will make my neighbors sleep better and night.

I think I am just missing a simple package to help spotify discover my network devices or something. I tried enabling the avahi daemon but this was not the one.
Also I installed spotify using yaourt.

Any help is very much appreciated!

Re: Spotify does not detect other network devices

What kind of device are you trying to stream to?

I can stream to any device that is running spotify. But spotify will not detect any device that is not currently running spotify.
For example it does not see my chromecast. But when I stream to it using my phone I can then stream to the chromecast using my laptop.

Trying to stream towards my Heos Soundbar. This previously worked out of the box without having to use my phone first. Thanks for the tip though, will try it out!
