I have had spotcast working perfectly for the past few weeks but randomly today it stopped working. When using automations to trigger playback the device activates with a tone, turns blue on the dashboard but never starts palying. If I play from Spotify Card then the device will start playing but as far as the card is concerned its not playing at all. The error I get is a follows:

I have, installed (and re-installed) spotcast, updated the sp_dc and sp_keys, removed the original spotify integrations and re-added them but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Calling the spotcast service when using the Friendly Name results in activation but no playback, calling the service a second time via the friendly name begins playback. Reporting to HA is hit and miss though and doesnt always report back that it is playing. Calling the spotcast service using either device name or ID results in activation but no palyback and calling a seccond time results in an "unknown error"
