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 ?

@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

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 ?

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
