Tell me more details. What happens on MagicMirror when you activate your spotify app on your smartphone?

@Sean i restarted the pi and my computer that is running the spotify. Everything is running and working as it should. buttons work, displays very well and its all good. Sorry, for the false alarm. noob moment.

Love the module, but noticed it makes the mirror by far the noisiest device on my network. Any idea why it talks so much to the spotify api?

Because, Spotify playback API doesn’t be designed to push the status to the caller. The module should use pooling to get CURRENT playback status whenever it is needed. Set bigger value to updateInterval.

@Sean thanks, appreciate the reply. Makes sense!

Hello,

i am using your Module a couple of Months, it always worked well…
…but since the last Update, it “hangs” after a couple of Minutes, which means,
it still shows up, but the Title-Information and the Time is frozen.
I am using MMM-Spotify and MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify (I also use MMM-Carousel,
so I have different “screens” on which I use both Modules, but not simultaneously.
While MMM-Spotify is “freezing”, MMM-NowPlayingonSpotify is going on well…

They worked BOTH OK, before the Update…

Any Ideas?

Hmmm. A recent update was for just multi-account supporting. Can you show backend log when it happened?

Mondfisch

Thank you for answering…

I´m not sure which log do you mean… Can you give me a path, i will post it, then…

I have similar situation like @Mondfisch described. And once problem appears, I got below log:

I tried to uninstall and install the module, but no luck, the problem keeps exist. Not sure if there is any solution on it.

Try to set updateInterval: to 2000 or 3000. I’ll inspect later.
