@wirdman Hey, sorry, been a very busy couple of days. I can use it to change lighting, turning off devices in smart home, but when I ask to play Spotify, it just gives me info about a video, but doesn’t play.

[wirdman]

@blake_northrup no problem.

okay but about youtube ?

[blake_northrup]

@wirdman It doesn’t play videos either. It just gives a snippet of what I ask for, but no video.

[wirdman]

@Bugsounet @blake_northrup okay because for me now everything work welle but i cannot ask to my google to play something on spotify

[blake_northrup]

@wirdman Yeah, I will dig around a bit to see what I can come up with. At least mine is controlling my smart devices, so that works for now. Please let me know if you figure it out, and I will do the same.

@wirdman can u use the windows Spotify connect to play Spotify on your mirror pi? ( I can)

you have to install one of the Spotify system extensions to make play on pi work.

I thought bugsounet said he updated the MMM-Spotify module to do that recently.

[wirdman]

@sdetweil

this part ? cause i have mmm-spotify

[sdetweil]

@wirdman no. the raspotify system extension
https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-spotify/

it is outside mm
it is required to play Spotify on pi. with or without mm

[wirdman]

@sdetweil oh no i didn t know i gonna do that

if you want to use MMM-Spotify:

npm run spotify step is not needed (only if you want visual)
npm run librespot is needed only if you want to listen music in mirror

spotify A2D config should be :

spotify: {
  useSpotify: true, // because you use and love this sub-module
  useIntegred: false, // if you use MMM-Spotify
  useLibrespot: true, // if you use librespot
  connectTo: "A2D", // set your device name to librespot
  username: "MyUsername", // Spotify username for librespot
  password: "MyPassword, // Spotify password for librespot
}

better it’s clear with that ;)

I also have a problem, I installed everything according to the documentation and it was done correctly, but when I run the application an error appears and the screen goes black. I need help please, thanks.

It’s meens that snowboy module is not builded correctly

I think when you did npm install you should have some errors, right ?
or maybe you did have no error but you try to do an npm fix command

what OS do you use ?

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet this post
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13383/mmm-googleassistant-doesn-t-run

says running Ubuntu, and note that mm is in a subfolder from the users home folder
/home/mauro/Escritorio/MagicMirror

one error posted shows
cannot find module ./lib/node/index.js error

[A Former User]

I have some know issue with ubuntu
Snowboy don’t want to build
I have not ubuntu installed to debug it but maybe some package is missing ?
If someone have a working version in ubuntu, simply contact me for updating script/dependencies

in all case, It’s ouside the requirement of GA (for this moment)

@sdetweil said in MMM-GoogleAssistant not running:

cannot find module ./lib/node/index.js error

it’s meens node_modules/@bugsounet/snowboy/lib/node/index.js don’t exist so ?

[sdetweil]

you can use free VMware player to create a single virtual machine of some other os.
download the os iso boot disk image, and use VMware player to launch it

[A Former User]

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet or on windows as host machine
