Cannot play some podcasts

[fivebanger]

Hi,

I put my question here to "discussion" since it seems not to be an issue of Librespot. I'm now using Librespot (v0.4.2) for a long time and it works really pretty well and reliable. Thanks to all the people here from the team.

Problem:
Some of my podcasts cannot get played on Spotify clients. This applies for Librespot as well as for e.g. Spotify on the FireTV stick or the Xiaomi MiBox (AndroidTV). Also tried with another Spotify account, same issue.

Reproduction:
I'm starting the Spotify app on my phone (Android). I start playing a podcast, e.g. "Kalk und Welk". Then I wand to connect to Librespot but the app says "Dieser Song kann nicht abgespielt werden" (Song cannot get played). Since I even cannot start playing, I don't get any Librespot debug prints on the console. When trying the same with e.g. the FireTV stick, the podcast just gets skipped until something else gets played which obviously does not cause any issue. This seems to be valid for most podcasts from German broadcaster ARD (German public television), like "Kalk und Welk", "You are fucked", "Dark matters".

Question:
Has someone else from Germany (or maybe also other countries) experienced such an issue?
I don't think that this is something that can be fixed on the client side.

BTW, I have asked the Spotify support, but, surprise, got the standard answer: Pls. re-install the app... :-( I cannot find any issue like that when googling the WWW.

Regards, Martin
