MMM-Spotify

[raf]

hi all
I have installed spotify but can only play the sound on my smartphone and my google nest mini, how can I play the sound through the speakers of the raspberry pi
spotify does appear in the MagicMirror

@raf Spotify requires a supporting player.

librespot or raspotify

note these are both installed in the base system outside mm.

once u install and start them, you should see the pi device in your phone app Spotify player to transfer play to.

I have installed the Spotify Connect app.on windows and my desktop linux, and can play on my pi, and see what is playing on mm

@sdetweil
its only for premium users ?

[sdetweil]

@raf I think so

[sdetweil]

@Lauren0612 bugsounet has removed his modules.

open again (temporarily)

[Lauren0612]

@Bugsounet noooo please come back 😥😥

[A Former User]

MMM-Spotify works now :)
I have open it

[Lauren0612]

@Bugsounet if i put it on my rasberry pi and you take away the module again I’m assuming it won’t work anymore? Sorry I’m new to rasberry pi and still trying to figure everything out 😩

[A Former User]

don’t cry :)
You know i will not stop coding … I prefer make good thing and take time …

in All case, actually i have not many time … (changing job and location)
So i prefer make on line my modules rather than make you wait a long time !

but in the long run i will make my own mirror system (it’s planned!)

[Lauren0612]

@Bugsounet good luck in your new job!

[A Former User]

Thx, i start it in 15 days !
So imagine, i have not many time for coding !

and besides what I tell you the internet connection will be really but really not great …
(maybe LTE altenative needed … i think)

@Bugsounet Thanks a lot! Your modules are GREAT!

Hey guys,
I recently discovered this module and love it! Unfortunately, I can’t manage to enable the volume control via notifications. While other notifications such as “SPOTIFY_SHUFFLE” or “SPOTIFY_TOGGLE” work, “SPOTIFY_VOLUME_UP” or “_DOWN” won’t.

I am using a usb macro pad as input device (mapped to numeric keys 1-10) with MMM-Keybindings. The following settings are a minimal working example from my config.js:

modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
            		module: "MMM-KeyBindings",
            		config: {
				enableKeyboard: true,
				handleKeys: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10'],
				actions: [
						{
						key: "1",
						notification: "SPOTIFY_SHUFFLE"
						},
						{
						key: "2",
						notification: "SPOTIFY_VOLUME_DOWN"
						},
		{
  		module: "MMM-Spotify",
  		position: "bottom_left",
  		config: {
			volumeSteps: 5,
			debug: false, 
			control: "hidden"
 			 }
		}
	]

I also realized that the module is not receiving the current volume from my devices but is rather stuck at 100%.

Is there anyone who might have an idea of how to fix this problem? Thank you so much in advance!

@requiemmg

Hey Requiemmg, I’m dealing with the exact same problem, so im very curious if you managed to fix the problem? thnx!

[sdetweil]

@Abstr install the spotify connect app on your pc. it will.let u control spotify on the pi. install raspotify or librespot on the pi. spotify connect will.let u make sure spotify is working. i think.u can control the player volume from the connevt app

https://www.spotify.com/us/connect/

@requiemmg , @sdetweil Thanks for the quick reply. Volume is working fine, but switching between 2 different “Client Id’s” isnt working. The MagicMirror only shows the accountdefault: 0. This means first device is working fine, but it isnt possible to switch to another device.

[sdetweil]

@Abstr device or account.

each system is one device. far as i know spotify bequires logoff/logon to switch
accounts. even family is multiple users under one payment plan

again verify how it works with the connect app. has nothing to do with mm

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil verify w the connect app
