Play Spotify playlist on Denon

[3JL 7]

Dear all,

I have control of my Denon AVR via the HC2 in place, but this covers only basic functionalities (volume control etc). Has somebody attempted/succeeded to play a specific Spotify playlist via the Denon? (The receiver supports Spotify Connect) I am eager to hear suggestions on how to approach this.
Thanks!

Pioneer uses the eISCP protocol, like Onkyo (it's the same brand since a few years). If you Google the protocol you get a lot of info.

I never wrote a LUA script to use the protocol but used a Node-RED flow with the eISCP node. I sold my Pioneer receiver, so I deleted all my scenes, bummer...

Thanks for your answers. I am not really looking for some workaround, just eager to figure out whether the APIs of the Denon receiver can be triggered in such a way that I can play something specific using Spotify Connect. Similar to what was mentioned by @Joep.
