MMM-Spotify

skuethe

Just released a new version of the module, which improves usage for systems without UI (running in a container f.e.):
https://github.com/skuethe/MMM-Spotify/releases/tag/v2.1.0

As there are updated dependencies, be sure to execute

git pull && npm install

inside the MMM-Spotify folder.

Again, if anybody is running into problems, please open issues in the github repo.

@skuethe Thanks for maintaining this project. I understand that it is still not possible to display multiple accounts at the same time? (Family account, different devices; e.g. display “x is playing for user y on device z” or so?)

Another feature request: I’d like the module to be hidden when nothing is being played. I am just using this for status display, not for control of spotify. Possible to add in a coming version?

First time I am reading about this request :)
I am unsure how that could be solved - since UI is configured / optimized to display exactly one song. That would mean some massive design changes. In addition, it would need some looking into how to support querying multiple accounts at the same time / in different instances.
For me this is out of scope at the current point in time. You can, of course, create a new issue with an enhancement request and will see how things change in the future, or maybe somebody else wants to contribute code to that idea.

There already is a feature request open for that:
https://github.com/skuethe/MMM-Spotify/issues/176
However, I did not yet have time to work on it.

@skuethe Thanks. U was asking about Multi-user way back in this thread before you started maintenance. I’d think this might be great for visualization. But I think It’d need an additional multi-user view (and personally, I like to use the bar menu)

I think I’m doing something wrong, I don’t really understand it. Is there a step-by-step guide? OAuth worked fine for Google services, but not with this Spotify setup. My steps:

Run node first_auth.js as in the MMM-Spotify instructions → Terminal shows “[SPOTIFY] Initialized”.

Browser opens with Spotify login, I enter my account, Spotify asks for access. → Still no code in terminal.

After clicking accept, browser redirects to localhost:8888 with ?code=**** in the URL.
But then an error pops up immediately in the terminal, before I can do anything with the code. At which step am I supposed to use this code, and where should I put it?

@Sean @ejay-ibm great release, guys!
Would it be possible to swap the plain white Spotify logo for a darker version, like the one in MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify? 😬

Also, is this a standalone Spotify module? If so, is a Spotify Premium account required?

One more thing: I noticed the module doesn’t switch to ‘standby’ view after stopping music until I restart MagicMirror.

Also, is this a standalone Spotify Premium Mod APK file? If so, does a Spotify Premium account need to be used?

One more thing: I noticed that the app doesn’t automatically go into “standby” mode after stopping music playback unless I restart the app.

@kinggiotai did you read the readme

@kinggiotai also this is not apk. It’s JavaScript plugin into MagicMirror
