A useful support request states the exact problem, scope and comparison result. “Not working” does not distinguish an account, player, source or network failure.

Redact the screenshot
Keep the error and interface context, but hide passwords, usernames, playlist URLs, device identifiers and complete payment numbers. Check the resulting image before sending it.
Include what changed
After support suggests a step, change only that variable and report the result. State whether the issue is resolved, unchanged or narrower. Do not claim an outage or account fault until the evidence supports it.
