@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?

Great job man. Works great and instructions are flawless. Was very easy to install.
Thanks for the work.

A little off topic, but maybe someone can help or point in the right direction. I’m not able to play Spotify using the MM speaker. I’m using the Google AIY voice hat. Isn’t it possible?

I’ve completed all the steps, and the module is stuck on a Spotify logo with “Loading…” in the middle of it. I authorized the app and everything and can’t seem to get the module to display any now playing info. After a minute or so it goes to a spotify logo and says “Spotify”.
Any help is appreciated.

Anyway to get cover art in black and white?

@raywo Your module is amazing. I am using raspotify on my mirror, which is account independent and I was just wondering if there is a chance of implementing spotify connect meta data (e.g. from using raspotify). Instead of using your account as input for the track info using the output from

systemctl raspotify status

as the track id. And then use spotifys web api to get the song info?

It sounds like MMM-SpotifyConnectUI may be better suited for you. I haven’t tried it but it sounds like its exactly what your looking for… and exactly what I’m looking for.

I have been using MMM-Now PlayingOnSpotify for a while and its really great, however in my house we have a family account, so the module only displays whats playing from my account, not my wife’s, or our guests. My MM is a mirrorless display that is out at our pool, so it’s rare that I’m the only person controlling the music and by rare I mean almost never…lol).

@murrayireland

This is exactly what the MMM-SpotifyConnectUI does. you need a premium account though.

@sharpy400 thanks, I will try immediately. I honestly tried finding a module like that, but that must one I must have overseen.

edit: nope, won’t work, seems spotify has changed the way they give out API keys none of the instructions will work. Spotify Connect Web seems to rely on libspotify which is obsolete.
