If i use a playlist and want to start a new playlist that cant be done from Spotify (Android or Windows).
It works if i change output to local device (android or windows) and start a new playlist and after this change the output to librespot again.
I might do something wrong or it could be a little bug.

Can confirm this is a bug, just tried it and got the same behaviour. When connected to librespot, one can create a playlist and add songs, but any attempt to play the new playlist via librespot causes the currently playing track to either restart or jump back a seemingly random amount.

At a wider level, playback appears to break after adding a playlist and attempting to use librespot; attempting to select a different song/album/etc. just causes the next song in the queue to play. I suspect we will need to do some reverse engineering of the protocol again.

hello, I'm really looking for solution for this issue. I'm just curious if there is any chance this will be checked ?

I can't reproduce this myself.

Librespot seems quite happy playing a freshly made playlist on dev branch on Windows.

Are you seeing this happen with a new build @haja ?
