@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?

[socosurf]

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!

if Soptify logo not hidden after start, it’s means :
token missing or token error

you 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!

It’s means that the token is not set
maybe callback url is not set
after if you have used the sudo command for install MM or for install this module, it will not work (not write access)

yes, I can’t display ALL account in the same time.
example 2 accounts listen at the same time -> what is the visual (complex to determinate) !?

for CPU time: X account registred = X * CPU time
So X * time DNS access, X * traffic to spotify

that’s why i use a switch for another account

[spoonek]

@Bugsounet Good point. I was thinking I needed to reuse my client ID credentials I had already setup for MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify. DOH! I just created a “New App” on the Spotify Dev page for MMM-Spotify. Should be good to go now.

I just started over from scratch and now was able to get the authorization webpage login to work.

I understand the CPU and traffic issue, but would there be any chance to check at least 2 accounts at the same time in a future version?

My MBP was gone a few weeks ago with 12,000 mp3s which I was collecting for my whole life… :(
I’ve never used any streaming service, but now have to.
So I consider to use Spotify. I know there is already some modules about it. Anyway, I need something different. I was playing with Spotify API for my private purpose.

Just at that moment , @ejay-ibm wanted to control Spotify with voice command through MMM-AssistantMk2. He asked sometimes and I answered. I asked also sometimes he replied…

And then, Wow, Suddenly This module is born.
Special Thanks to @ejay-ibm. He gave me great inspiration and motivation to complete this (and real coworking also).

TODO

I’ll add touch interface to control Spotify. (somedays)

@etayl : and ? what’s the problem ?

[JAMJAMT]

@Bugsounet I am using Spotify free account do not pay for the Premium,can I just download Spotify to MP3 by using any third-party tool and then add music on my mirror?
