[MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify] – Display the currently on Spotify playing song

schlachtkreuzer6

Hi @raywo
It stuck on step two… after I register the app to my account. Just saying: Wait for step 2 to complete. And doing nothing more.
Hmm, any idea? Did I made a mistake?

SOLUTION:
Okay for anyone running into the same problem:
You can get everything out of the link from your browser. Just copy and paste it in a text editor.

Link looks like that:
http::8888/#access_token=your access token&refresh_tokenyour refresh token&client_idyour client ID from spotify developer site&client_secretyour client secret from the develover site

Copy the 4 elements in the module configuration:

{
module: "MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify",
position: "bottom_left",

   config: {
     showCoverArt : "true",
     clientID: "your client ID",
     clientSecret: "your client secret",
     accessToken: "your access token",
     refreshToken: "your refresh token",
      }
},

That’s it 😊

@schlachtkreuzer6 You need to enter both your secret ID and client secret in the input boxes and then click “Authorize my app!”. After that the message in Step 3 should disappear and show you exactly what you need to copy in your config.js.

You need to make sure that you put the shown callback url in the app’s setting on Spotify.

@raywo I did that but it stops after the authorization.

Hey @raywo ,

Thanks developing this module. It’s one of the first modules I tried to set up on my setup.

Your instructions on how to configure very clear. Being new to MagicMirror I couldn’t get it to work fully, though. I finally figured out what I did wrong (I am still in the dark as to where I can find some useful logs): I installed your module to /home/pi instead of to the MagicMirror-folder.

As I didn’t want to bother on finding out on how to uninstall, I simply moved the entire directory to the right place and the module seems to run fine now :D

Awesome module! I’d been using the MMM-Scrobbler, but this is a better module in my opinion. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow as well! I really like how instant it is as well. I currently just set this up while on break at work, so I can’t check it out at home yet, but watching from a VNC, it is incredibly responsive! Thanks again sir!

Hey, very nice module and easy to install! Thanks!!!

I have a little question. I use a google assistent speaker… and when i say my google assistent “stop spotify” the song which is paused be show on my MM.
Can I hide the current song if it is paused for more than X minutes?

Thanks

raywo

@philreis This is unfortunately not possible. The waySpotify works is that no song is actually ever stopped but it is paused. That is why the API can’t differentiate between stopped or paused songs. The only way to force the display to show nothing is by quitting the Spotify client.

Loving this module so far.

As a feature request, would you be able to add a Config option to hide the progress bar? I’m not updating every second, so it makes the bar look off when it’s not moving/updating.

@Module-Developers didnt install yet but is there a way to actually play the song from the MM speaker?

Just installed this and loving it so far! I’m trying to make a Pi media player, is there a way to make this work with tracks played through the Pi using Raspotify (or something similar) rather than always showing tracks tied to a specific account?

All i can seem to get is a quick loading then it just says spotify. i dont get any other information, the module is up to date, and i have created the app on the spotify website. i have a terminal open and listening. and my localhost shows that it is complete and ready to use. please forgive my noobness anyone got any ideas? also i deleted and remade a new app already no go.

@raywo will you consider into doing the same kind of (beautiful) module for Deezer users too? :grimacing_face:

@raywo I’m having trouble authorizing the app. I entered the callback link, paste the Client ID and Client Secret. After I click “Authorize My App” and “Agree” on the next page, it takes me to this link https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize/accept and show error “Oops! Something went wrong, please try again or check out our help area.”

Any idea?
