Following address is opened in browser: https://accounts.spotify.com/de/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=XXXXX&scope=user…

-> Press Agree button in Browser in order to agree access to spotify

Afterwards address in browser is changed to:
http://localhost:8888/callback?code=XXXXX&state=XXXXX…

I assume the code (anonymized XXXXX) in this address is the relevant one. But how to proceed with that? Because at the time I have received this code I already have the errors in my terminal window.

I’m going to inspect the first_auth script. there is too much problem, I think.
a little patience within a few days this should be fixed

hi @Bugsounet ! I’m working on my first smart mirror and was very happy to just get mmm-GoogleAssistant up and running! It’s able to do normal searches and that kind of thing, so I just tried to install MMM-Spotify.

Unfortunately, MMM-GoogleAssistant doesn’t seem to be recognizing the commands, and I don’t see any changes on the screen when I try to use the commands for it (for example, “Michael Jackson on Spotify”).

The code I used in the .config is below. Did I miss something?

Thanks!!

natively, MMM-Spotify and MMM-GoogleAssistant can’t read directly music on Spotify.
MMM-Spotify can display only what you are listening on a device
and you can change music ONLY with a premium account with vocal request
if you want listening music on your mirror you have to install Raspotify or librespot on your mirror (but needed again a premium spotify account)
After, A2D is coded to read +/- native google response without Spotify recipe

aaaah, okay, thanks so much!

Does anyone know how I can adjust this module so that the album art is to the left and all the info is to the right of the album art? I basically am running this solo in magic mirror with a dedicated display to show what song is playing in my apartment but right now the album art and text doesn’t utilize all the real-estate of the screen since it’s centered and stacked.

Can this be altered to have the album art to the left and all the text stacked to the right?

Hi. I was wondering if someone could tell me what I need to edit in the MMM-Spotify module to make Spotify fully function and what I have to do to have it appear on my screen. I have all the details of the MMM-Spotify folder listed under my Music folder on my raspberry pi 4. I dont need to type out the coding. Again just asking what I need to edit of the coding. Already have all the code. Other than all the coding that is in the MMM-Spotify.js document. What do I need to puth for AUTH_DOMAIN: AUTH_PATH: AUTH PORT: SCOPE: and TOKEN.

A Former User

I really don’t understand, what do you want to do with this modules…
MMM-Spotify works

dcimag

I have the module MMM-Spotify. I just want to know what parts of the module do I have to edit to make the module work properly and what I need to edit to have it appear on the screen.

A Former User

@dcimag : haaa ok… And do you ask to the developer why he take some time for doing a module and coding an none working module?

socosurf

Here is what I did with this. I made it in full screen so that I have a dedicated display that shows what I’m playing on Spotify. Changed up the styling and also added a cleaner ‘not playing anything screen’. Pics attached. Was a blast to edit and looks and works great! Picture here.

Just installed this module, really great.
About multiple accounts: I have Spotify family account (=6 Accounts) and multiple devices. I have run through the auth process, went fine, works.
What I’d like: To show anything that is playing on any account or device.
What I get: Just a single account which is set in “accountDefault: 0”.
When I change it to 1, 2,3 - it works with the respective accounts.
When I delete it, it’s back to default account 0.

Do I have to call the module multiple times or is there a way to do this, @Bugsounet?

zauberclown

@requiemmg I actually have the exact same problem/challenge. I tried to include the module multiple time, but that did not work. Were you able to solve the problem to display multiple accounts in a family account?

Thx

the module will only show what is playing on one device. this is a Spotify limitation

@Bugsounet Good I checked the older messages in this thread to better understand the complexity with multiple accounts. I had no idea it would impact the CPU that much. Thanks for pointing out.
Being able to change it verbally is currently not an option as I don’t plan to implement vocal for my mirror. But can’t think of an alternative as of now.

BTW: Thanks a lot for your hard work on this module!

if Soptify logo not hidden after start, it’s means :
token missing or token error

you should have in console something like that :
[SPOTIFY:ERROR] USERNAME: [your username]
[SPOTIFY:ERROR] Token Error ! ./[token name].json

@Bugsounet I have this same error. I got the webpage after running node first_auth.js but it said invalid and then I had to CRTL-Z to stop it. Now when I run node first_auth.js I get errors. Do I need to uninstall MMM-Spotify and start from scratch?

Also, I already am using MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify and that is working fine. Can I just reuse my existing Client ID and Client Secret? I’m worried that using both modules is causing the issue. I could be wrong though.

Thanks!

It’s means that the token is not set
maybe callback url is not set
after if you have used the sudo command for install MM or for install this module, it will not work (not write access)

yes, I can’t display ALL account in the same time.
example 2 accounts listen at the same time -> what is the visual (complex to determinate) !?

for CPU time: X account registred = X * CPU time
So X * time DNS access, X * traffic to spotify

that’s why i use a switch for another account

@Bugsounet Good point. I was thinking I needed to reuse my client ID credentials I had already setup for MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify. DOH! I just created a “New App” on the Spotify Dev page for MMM-Spotify. Should be good to go now.
