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?

A Former User

@matt216
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.

matt216

@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.

woodstock37

@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!

Hi @Sean, I just have a question I read the whole forum but I did not find the answer.
I installed Raspotify on my Raspberry pi, but when I launch my mirror, I cannot launch music by saying “music play”, only from my phone, once I have started the music from my phone and I connect it on raspotify I can change the music as well as all the other commands.
And spotify does not launch with onStart.

{
  module: "MMM-Spotify",
  position: "bottom_left",
  config: {
    style: "mini", // "default" or "mini" available
    control: "hidden", //"default", "hidden" available
    updateInterval: 1000,
    onStart: {
      deviceName: "RASPOTIFY", //if null, current(last) activated device will be.
      spotifyUri: "spotify:track:0hNduWmlWmEmuwEFcYvRu1"
      //when search is set, sportifyUri will be ignored.
      }
    }
},

thank you for your answers.

@Lasmazze
Limitation of api. Until spotify really starts, api doesn’t return even the device list. So module can do nothing. Sorry.

Hi,

im wondering if its possible to allign the spotify module to the right edge of the screen? ive recently added a covid-19 module and the spotify module alligns its self with the longer left edge. also is it possible to increse the padding on the bottom, i just want to space it away from th e covid module.

hopefully the link works and you can see what i mean…

@banbutcher
Try this. (But it could make unexpected result by your other modules. anyway worthy to try)

/* In your `css/custom.css` */
#SPOTIFY {
    position: absolute;
    right:0;
}

Or you can adjust by manual.

#SPOTIFY {
  left: 150px ; /* depends on your layout */
}

Lasmazze

@Sean Ok thank you for your answer. apart from that your modules work really well, continue like that!

Hi !
Thirst, thanks to the devs for this module and the multi account function !

I have a problem with the module. After some songs, the module stay stuck on a song.
I have only some modules on my MM, and all others modules work fine.

We are 2 at home, with 2 premium account and 1 Spotify Connect receiver. We mainly use le Spotify Connect receiver.

The problem occurs with all the revceivers (Spotify connect or smartphones).

Do you have an idea of the problem ?

I did a clean total reinstallation of my RPI3 under Raspbian Buster. Always the same problem, module blocked after a few minutes.

Can we think of a bug?
I will reinstall MMM-Spotify with only 1 account configured to see if the problem recurs.

Hi!

I have been trouble shooting an install of MMM-Spotify for a few days now and I can’t seem to authorize/authenticate the token…

When executing Step 4 of the install Get Auth;

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Spotify node first_auth.js

My terminal hangs up and I need to CTRL-C to get out.
