MMM-Spotify

[matt216]

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?

@Mondfisch
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.

@woodstock37
Try to set updateInterval: to 2000 or 3000. I’ll inspect later.

@Sean Thanks for your suggestion. It definitely helps. Thanks.

Re: [MMM - Spotify]
Hi @Sean
Just a suggestion, If you could include the heart/like button on the controls (to add the current song to your liked playlist)

Thanks!

p.s installed and works perfectly with 2 accounts!
