@sbonn13 there will be a message popup on the browser with a code (press the copy icon)
then return to the terminal window and paste the code in at the little app prompt, and hit enter
(make sure u don’t hit enter on that window before the browser opens, as the little app will take you enter key as the ‘token’ and not wait)you run the node auth… app
and seeOpening OAuth URL. Return here with your code. Paste your code:then the browser opens, you pick your userid, then it asks for allow, then presents this screen

where u need to copy that and then return to app

Thanks unfortunately probably I do it completely wrong, I do not get it. Is there any instruction? OAuth was working fine for google services, but not with this Spotify solution :-(
My procedure:
1.) node first_auth.js as described in MMM-Spotify instruction.
-> [SPOTIFY] Initialized appeared in terminal window
2.) Browser opens with Spotify login, after having entered, spotify requesting access
-> No code yet, no additional terminal window, also no change in existing terminal window
3.) Click on accept access in browser (spotify)
-> callback localhost:8888 appeared in domain and shows ?code=**** in parameter.
But in the meantime the mentioned error has appeared immediately in the terminal window. No time or place to paste the code somewhere else. Where shall I put this code and at what point in the procedure? -

callback localhost:8888 appeared in domain
what does ‘appeared in domain’ mean?? sorry

@sdetweil
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.

@sbonn13 i do not know … @Bugsounet will have to help here
-
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!!
{ module: "MMM-GoogleAssistant", position: "fullscreen_above", config: { debug: false, assistantConfig: { lang: "en-US", projectId: "magic-mirror-79d8d", // Required to use gaction. modelId: "", // (OPTIONAL for gaction) instanceId: "", // (OPTIONAL for gaction) latitude: 45.255299, longitude: -75.729048, }, responseConfig: { useScreenOutput: true, screenOutputCSS: "screen_output.css", screenOutputTimer: 5000, activateDelay: 250, useAudioOutput: true, useChime: true, newChime: false }, micConfig: { // put there configuration generated by auto-installer recorder: "arecord", device: "plughw:2", }, customActionConfig: { autoMakeAction: false, autoUpdateAction: false, // in RPI, gaction CLI might have some trouble.(current version should be 2.2.4, but for linux-arm, Google haven't updated) so leave this as false in RPI.

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

-
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?
-
@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!

@Bugsounet said in MMM-Spotify:
if Soptify logo not hidden after start, it’s means :
token missing or token erroryou 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!
