Spotify WiiM Pro Plus will only show up as a Chromecast Device in Spotify for Android

Think is a Android 16 thing, as the same applies on other brands (Cambridge Audio for me).
It happens - in my research - when multiple Google Cast devices are present. If the streamer is the single device, it works with both protocols enabled.
...go figure

As noted here, this issue occurs only on my Galaxy device (Android 15/One UI 7.0) out of my three Android devices. Based on reports from multiple members, I believe this is a specific issue affecting at least certain Galaxy and Pixel models (UI). Presumably, the Spotify app needs to address this problem.

Currently, there are two workarounds available to us:

1) Disable Google Cast within the WiiM app.

2) Register Spotify as a preset and initiate playback using the preset button.

Enabling or disabling IPv6 - as mentioned by @stefanks - is a new approach not covered in the discussion so far.

It could have bee coincidence, but so far I'd say it's worth a try for everyone suffering from this Spotify/Google incompatibility.

I have disabled IPv6 in my home network and in WiiM and any other device since long time already.
