This is something known (and fixed ) but I need to make time to actually release it.
Hello,
since a few months I experience a strange behaviour with Spotify Connect and Volumio which does not happen if I use Spotify standalone or with other connected devices. I regard it as a bug because it only happens while connected to Volumio.
If I have a song in “full screen” mode (which shows visuals or the album cover) on the iOS app playing and I press forward, the full screen mode is minimized and I see the playlist. With every other connected device it does not behave like that. It w…

19:22:07,415 New data: pause spotify Lana Del Rey Blue Jeans 0
19:22:07,557 New data: play spotify Lana Del Rey Blue Jeans 0

Interestingly, this was actually the trigger for me working on integrating the old volspotconnect with Volumio’s internal state machine, and subsequently work in a delay into the AmpSwitch plugin. You could look into AmpSwitch to inspire you
