@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 Spotify Connect Web seems to rely on libspotify which is obsolete.

@raywo ,How can play and hearing song from Magic Mirror directly (not only display spotify playing song)

@nobita just install raspotify https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify

the easy way (but I recommend reading the docs):

curl -sL https://dtcooper.github.io/raspotify/install.sh | sh

Hi, would love to try this module but I keep failing installing it.
First of all I have quite many messages after npm install. Newbie as I am I tried npm audit fix to fix vulnerabilities. Still had a few (not high) vulnerabilities.

What happens is the nothing of this module comes up.

Tried again by deleting the module folder and installing again.

Druing npm install:
npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
added 664 packages from 770 contributors and audited 4892 packages in 233.343s
found 16 vulnerabilities (2 low, 7 moderate, 7 high)
run npm audit fix to fix them, or npm audit for details
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify $ npm WARN deprecat ed socks@1.1.10: If using 2.x branch, please upgrade to at least 2.1.6 to avoid a serious bug with socket data flow and an import issue introduced in 2.1.0

I was playing with another module MMM-RTSPStream and I had to switch to wip develop branch. Is this my problem now?

I made it work.

I tried again and did a npm audit fix --force this time (without knowing what I actually do).
I may have pressed ctrl + z first time, this time i pressed crtl + c (which means I didnt stop service. I think?).
Now it’s working as it should.

I just upgraded Spotify to a family account, how can I make it only recognize my music. We each have a unique log in but the module is based on account number. Is there a way to specify which log in?

Indeed - having the same issue.
i connected my spotify account to google home. And when you ask google home to play some music. it’s considered like an another account.
