So it seems Spotify have decided to update their web player to something that isn't as good as their old one, and just to top it off has issues running in Maxthon. Before the update it was flawless.
If you open https://open.spotify.com/ you get the error Oooops, something went wrong with the playback. Reload at the top of the page.
Reloading does nothing. Clicking the play button doesn't play anything, although you can still go through your music etc.
Tested in Opera and it works fine. Now this is where it gets weird. With Opera still open, Spotify "seems" to run fine in Maxthon. I can play/pause change tracks no problem. Close Opera, then Maxthon doesn't work.
What's weirder is that the music isn't actually being played from Maxthon (no sound icon on the tab) it's actually Opera playing the music, but being controlled via Maxthon (or through whatever web sync feature they have)
UA changes don't help. Using Retro mode works (and using the old player!!).
Just thought I'd throw this out there seeing as it's a somewhat weird issue.
