The update puts it more in line with the smartphone app
Spotify is redesigning its Smart TV app, aiming to make it easier for users to discover content. The company states it wants the TV experience to be similar to what you find on mobile devices and desktops.
According to the announcement, it’ll have a brand new home page sporting “shortcuts to favorites, recently played audio”, as well as a Made For You playlist at the top. Second, Spotify is introducing a Now Playing view giving people the ability to control what plays next on the queue. Prior to this, listeners couldn’t change anything. They could only see what was coming up. Third, Dark Mode is finally coming to the TV app. Activating the mode will “dim the screen and tune down the visuals”. Background images will be replaced with a pitch-black display. What you’ll see are the music player controls, the song name, the artist performing it, as well as an About The Artist section at the bottom.
