It is possible that it is an Xbox issue, but if you can use other Xbox services. That won't work, at least not in Ubuntu 16. The most likely reason that Spotify is not working on your gaming console is that Spotify is experiencing an outage. /home/your_username/Downloads/spotify_control stop And the following are the main reasons that result in the Spotify web player not working./home/your_username/Downloads/spotify_control play./home/your_username/Downloads/spotify_control next./home/your_username/Downloads/spotify_control previous./home/your_username/Downloads/spotify_control playpause.home/your_username/Downloads/spotify_control playpause

The command you see in the picture above is for 'play/pause' function

Add new shortcut by clicking the plus button, I'll override the default play/pause/next and previous keys because I only listen to music on spotify, If you need those shortcuts then assign different ones for Spotify.

Go to settings -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts -> custom shortcuts.After that, long-press the App Store icon and select Search from the menu. Place it anywhere you want, I'll assume that it is placed in Downloads folder Long touch the Spotify app icon on the Home screen and select Delete App.Download this file, extract it and make it executable chmod a+x spotify_control.The solution is pretty simple and works on any Linux distribution. There is a simple solution credit goes to this thread on Spotify forum, Thanks to schuellerf and rszabla.
