Spotify Now Playing feed

[olliewarren411]

Hi Guys,

TL;DR a simple 1 liner to display the now playing song on Spotify.

I see a Spotify module is already created (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/468/mmm-spotifyconnectui) but this requires the playing device to be the raspberry pi. I regularly play music from my phone to my bose via bluetooth but when walking around the house (away from the phone) I would like the currently playing song to show on the MM.

Can anyone produce a way to show the currently playing track from any device playing Spotify? (NOT THE PI)

I’ve tried an RSS feed from LastFM which is scrobbling Spotify but this only does recently played.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ollie

Hi thanks,

I’ve tried that module but it just shows the recently played list on a loop.

Not showing the now playing song and changing when the song changes.

Sadly I’M not able to get it to work ^^ My Spotify won’t synch with last.fm, but i don’t know why…

I have noticed that scrobbling doesn’t work on the Spotify desktop app but does on their mobile app.

Try that?
