Spotify at desktop resolution

I have a Spotify Premium account and run the Spotify app on my U9-H. However the app is designed for mobile and doesn't do justice to HD resolution TV.

I've tried to get round this by loading Spotify in the browser, but this has the effect of crashing my Minix box. So bad that I can't even reboot without turning off the power at the wall.

As far as I read, it seems that there's something called a UserAgent that's stopping me get the same user interface as I get on my desktop PC in the browser.

Is there any way I can change this user agent string so I get the browser (Chrome, or any other browser) to display the desktop resolution site?
 
A special Android TV version exists, for big screens : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.tv.android
Do not know if this one can work on a non AndroidTV version but you can try to install the APK (try APK mirror)

An Android TV firmware for U9-H exists too : https://theminixforum.com/index.php?threads/android-tv-for-u9-h.111/
Thanks, Skynet.

I've had a look at the Android TV Spotify client on my TV and it looks pretty basic. The dealbreaker there is that there seems to be no way for anyone other than the account holder to log in, even when you have a Family account as we do. God forbid I should have to see my wife's favourite music every time I log in, lol.

Would really like to crack the UAstring approach as it seems to provide a solution to problems on a few websites relating to screen resolution.
