@Sean @ejay-ibm nice release guys.
Only could you please replace the plain white Spotify logo with a darker one (like in MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify)? :grimacing_face:

Also Is this a stand-alone Spotify module?
And if yes is it mandatory then to have a (Spotify) Premium account?

In addition:
I noticed that the module doesn’t go into ‘standby’ view once I end playing music until I restart MagicMirror.

Thanks for using

You can replace image file by yourself (It is under resources directory). Feel free to change it as your wish.
This is not stand-alone player. Originally, I was developing stand-alone player with new Web Playback API but unfortunately, current Electron/Chromium on RPI miss core feature about that. Somedays, when Electron/Chromium on RPI has that feature, I’ll implement. Currently you need RASPOTIFY to play spotify on RPI. (Or any other spotify-enable device like smartTV, smartphone, or smartspeakers)
You could not controll playback or not use some features without premium account.
Eh, last song cover is better than spotify icon, isn’t it? :D
spotify icon will be appeared when there is no possible playback or device. But not sure. I didn’t test about it. If you need that feature absolutely, I’ll consider it on next update.

@Cr4z33

Yes that is correct . When nothing is played and all players are disconnected the white spotify icon appear.
We place that one here just to not have nothing.
As Sean said this is customizable , you just need to change the png file under the resources directory .

Enjoy you new module.

Hello,

i installed this module today. Works perfect, thanks for this great work :-) I just overwrited the css a little bit, hope this is ok for you!

And now my question: is it possible to show this module only on my mirror when i play music on it? Because when i am not at home i think my music selection isnt very interessting for my girlfriend :-D

Thank you

Frankly said, I didn’t test, but module would work only under same network. But I might be wrong. I hope there be who can explain it clearly. Or i’ll test it on monday by myself.

@Sean @kwaeksler
Spotify is account linked, so actually, the module will display what is currently played on any devices linked to the same account ( same client ID/secret) even out of your network. I tested with a Spotify family , even different email are linked to the main account. So I can not think of a solution right now.

@kwaeksler I think I can add device limitation to display or control. I’ll consider it on updates.

kwaeksler

@Sean That sounds great :-) Thank you!

ejay-ibm

Never got it working, but here it is.

@Sean @ejay-ibm I’ve got a Spotify Premium account now so I was giving MMM-Spotify another shot, but I am stuck at instructions step #4.

I am logged in however I get INVALID_CLIENT: Invalid redirect URI in the webpage once I click the generated URL. :confused_face:

Any thoughts?

A Former User

@Cr4z33
Your two values of “REDIRCT_URI” should be the same; Your spotify App setup and your spotify.config.json. Check again.

Cr4z33

@Sean sorry where shoud I look for that? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

In the generated link or?

Cr4z33

There’s more now I notice a following error message in the terminal

[SPOTIFY_AUTH] Error: null { error: 'invalid_request',
  error_description: 'code must be supplied' }

A Former User

@Cr4z33
Go to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications (login)

Then select your spotify app for this module. (You might have created one if you followed instruction)

Then check your redirect_uri with your spotify.config.json.

Cr4z33

@Sean that was the solution. :D
The redirect URI for some reason was empty.

As soon as I added it manually re-running step #4 worked like a charm. :thumbs_up_medium_skin_tone:

Cr4z33

@Sean OK now a different issue.

I added the MMM-AssistantMk2 needed lines, but when I say ie. Michael Jackson on Spotify nothing happens…

Isn’t it supposed to play then straight on MagicMirror? :thinking_face:
