Spotify stops playing

I'm having an issue with Spotify lately. I haven't come across this phenomenon before.
Whenever I start playing Spotify in the sidebar, independent of using the webplayer widget or not, it stops playing when I click on the icon in the sidebar.
Typical user case: You hear music in the background that you want to see more about. You go to the sidebar to open it. Before it just continued to play, but as of today it stops.
I've made a clean install with a brand new profile. Any idea about it? Thanks a lot.

Well, I don't think, that this has any effect. When you open it in a regular tab, the sidebar app let alone the web player are even touched by it. To Spotify it appears as another device, showing the typical green line on the bottom saying: you're playing a Chrome webplayer.

On my MacBook it's working as expected. Clicking on the Spotify in the sidebar doesn't stop the music.

@McTesch It might be a bug or a recent update causing the issue. Have you tried clearing your browser cache or checking your autoplay settings? If that doesn't help, reaching out to Spotify support could be worth a shot

@menudale3 It's fixed with the update to Opera 116. Now, it works as expected.
