[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!

@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/

[Abstr]

@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

[sdetweil]

@Abstr raspotify plays in the background

dont expect phone and other software to work the same. spotify doesnt care about not its platform

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil the mm aps show the music that is playing SOMEWHERE.

some modules will let u stop/start/move play somewhere. not all 100% functional all the time

[Abstr]

@sdetweil ‘‘spotify doesnt care about not its platform’’, thats oke but my problem is switching between multiple spotify accounts.

[sdetweil]

@Abstr ok doc said u had to authorize each account in the order u set them up in the config json file

did u get a request to allow for each account?

never seen one work like this

[Abstr]

@sdetweil Yes, I got both both accounts allowed in the correct order. Username, ID’s and token work fine. I’ve setup two users in spotify.config.json like the sample below. The user which I put first in the spotify.config.json get to display the music in MagicMirror. The second user doesnt. No matter if I swap them.

[
{
“USERNAME”: “AN NAME TO IDENTIFY THIS ACCOUNT”,
“CLIENT_ID” : “PUT_YOUR_SPOTIFY_APP_CLIENT_ID”,
“CLIENT_SECRET” : “PUT_YOUR_SPOTIFY_APP_CLIENT_SECRET”,
“TOKEN” : “./username_token.json”
},
{
“USERNAME”: “ANOTHER NAME TO IDENTIFY THIS ACCOUNT”,
“CLIENT_ID” : “PUT_YOUR_SPOTIFY_APP_CLIENT_ID”,
“CLIENT_SECRET” : “PUT_YOUR_SPOTIFY_APP_CLIENT_SECRET”,
“TOKEN” : “./another_token.json”
}
