Issue with LMS 8.1.1 and Spotify

I had LMS upgrade to 8.1.1 yesterday, since then playlist from Spotify is no longer playing fully. Intermittently, after a song or few, audio stops while on Spotify app I see the song is playing. On Spotify app it shows Transporter as the device but transporter doesn't play anything, no activity. Also I have set Spotify for non-stop music even that is no longer working.

Either LMS or the Spotty plug-in is broken with the upgrade.

Is anyone facing the same problem and able to find a fix? Please share.
