@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!

@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

@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

[Abstr]

@sdetweil Sorry, you are right. But I mean, I can connect my phone (with account A) to the spotify module. It shows up on the MM and music plays with Raspotify.

But switching to another phone (with account B ) isnt working. Music plays with Raspotify but doesnt show up on the MagicMirror.

I’ll try the connect app
