Spotify error: host spotify.partner.dev not found

On both latets version of Windows 11 and Android Djay’s app (5.6.7 and 5.6.1) I cannot login to Spotify Premium anymore. Last time I tried (about 1 month ago) everything worked perfectly.

Now I get: “Host partner.spotify.dev not found” error, see screenshot from Windows version of Djay (same applies to Android).

Hi @pasquy85, thanks for the info and screenshot. That message is a name-resolution (DNS) failure — djay couldn’t look up Spotify’s partner endpoint on your network, so it’s not likely a djay setting or a login problem. The fact that it hits both your Windows 11 and Android devices points at something shared between them (router, DNS, ISP filter, or VPN) rather than either app.

Please try these in order:

  1. Turn Wi-Fi off on the Android device, switch to cellular data, and open Spotify in djay again.
  2. If it works on cellular, the block is on your home network — check any DNS filtering, ad-blocker, or parental/ISP filter.
  3. Disable any VPN or proxy and retry.
  4. If that doesn’t work, power off and restart your router.
  5. If it’s still failing, log out of Spotify inside djay and in all standalone Spotify apps/browsers, reboot, then log back in only from within djay.

I hope that helps!

I’ve been having the same problem for a few days now!
The app on my MacBook Pro and the app on my iPhone are preventing me from connecting to Spotify. I get the message “No internet connection - you must be connected to the internet to access Spotify.”

Do you have a solution?

Hi @Massimo_Brunello, welcome to the Community!

  1. What country are you in?
  2. Have you tried connecting on a different WiFi network or via cellular data?
  3. Is the standalone Spotify app (and open.spotify.com) working normally?
  4. Any VPN, proxy, ad-blocker, or custom DNS in use, on the device or the router?
  5. Does another djay streaming source (TIDAL, SoundCloud, djay Music) load on the same network?

Hi, I have the exact same problem!

I tried to reach the URL partner.spotify.dev from different machines (Linux, Windows, smartphone via cellular internet) but it’s unreachable, so the problem seems to be not on my side. It seems that the URL is not reachable.

I tried logging out of all spotify sessions and restart, unfortunately no fix.

I’m located in switzerland. Please provide a fix ASAP, I need to prepare for a set on saturday, it’s the worst point in time that this is happening! As a payed software I absolutely need to rely that it’s working!!!

Thx in advance

EDIT: THIS ERROR IS FIXED

At least for me, I can access my Spotify Library within Djay again, thx!

Hi,
Today I was able to connect correctly on both devices.
I think it was a temporary problem connecting to the Spotify endpoints this weekend.
