@Sean OK maybe it is my fault, but it was my understanding that this Spotify module can be also a stand-alone player?
For some reason a second try at
Michael Jackson on Spotifymade start the web player I was previously running on my computer…Does this mean that if I have Raspotify (how to set it up then?) I can actually run everything from the Pi?

@Cr4z33
This is not a standalone player. you need “RASPOTIFY” to play songs directly on MM.
There is some API about standalone player, but unfortunately, RPI doesn’t support that feature.
Your trial was not about this module on RPI. It was an original features of Google Assistant. -
@Sean I want them both. ;)
Voice commands to play Spotify songs STRAIGHT in MM.Thanks for confirming I am going to have some Raspotify reading now.

@Cr4z33 if you don’t want to use gaction like me .
I’ll share my transcription hook and command i’m using with this module and others.
It works perfectly. with raspotify. raspotify is pretty easy to install and run.transcriptionHook: { HIDE_ALL_MODULES: { pattern: "standby mode", command: "HIDEMODULES" }, SHOW_ALL_MODULES: { pattern: "show modules", command: "SHOWMODULES" }, SCREEN_ON: { pattern: "turn on screen", command: "SCREENON" }, SCREEN_OFF: { pattern: "turn off screen", command: "SCREENOFF" }, REBOOT: { pattern: "reboot the mirror", command: "REBOOT" }, SHUTDOWN: { pattern: "extinction totale", command: "SHUTDOWN" }, STOP_PLAY: { pattern: "stop the video", // this is for youtube but it is preferable to have youtubeAutoplay: false, when running spotify so you don't get interaction with youtube player. command: "STOP_VID" }, // STOP_PLAY2: { // pattern: "arrête la musique", // command: "STOP_VID" // }, SPOTIFY_PREVIOUS: { pattern: "previous song", command: "SPOTIFY_PREVIOUS" }, SPOTIFY_PAUSE: { pattern : "stop the musique", command: "SPOTIFY_PAUSE" }, SPOTIFY_PLAY: { pattern : "music please", command: "SPOTIFY_PLAY" }, SPOTIFY_NEXT: { pattern: "next song", command: "SPOTIFY_NEXT" }, SPOTIFY_VOLUME: { pattern: "set music volume to ([0-9]{1,2}[0]?|100)", command: "SPOTIFY_VOLUME" }, SPOTIFY_SEARCH: { pattern: "play (.*) on Spotify", command: "SPOTIFY_SEARCH" }, SPOTIFY_SEARCH_PLAYLIST: { pattern: "playlist (.*) on Spotify", command: "SPOTIFY_SEARCH_PLAYLIST" }, SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST: { pattern: "(.*) my playlist", // (.*) is an action eg: play my playlist / run my playlist etc... command: "SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST" }, SPOTIFY_TRANSFER: { pattern: "play the music on (.*)", // (.*) is the name of your device command: "SPOTIFY_TRANSFER" }, VOLUME_UP: { pattern: "volume up", command: "CMD_VOLUME_UP" }, VOLUME_DOWN: { pattern: "volume down", command: "CMD_VOLUME_DOWN" }, SET_VOLUME: { pattern: "set master volume to ([0-9]{1,2}[0]?|100)", command: "CMD_VOLUME_SET" } }, command: { STOP_VID: { moduleExec: { module: ["MMM-AssistantMk2"], exec: (module, params, key) => { module.assistant.subdom.youtube.innerHTML = ""; module.assistant.subdom.youtube.style.display = "none"; module.youtubePlaying = false; } } }, SPOTIFY_TRANSFER: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_TRANSFER", payload: (params) => { console.log("SPOTIFY_TRANSFER @",params) return params[1]; } } }, SPOTIFY_PAUSE: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_PAUSE" } }, SPOTIFY_PLAY: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_PLAY" } }, SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_PLAY", payload: (params) => { console.log("SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST") return { context_uri:"spotify:playlist:0bdByehKVfdsfdsfdsOhF5t", // Uri of a personnal playlist or album } }, notification: "SPOTIFY_SHUFFLE", // added this to toogle shuffle notification: "SPOTIFY_NEXT" // added this to not always have the same song starting first } }, SPOTIFY_NEXT: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_NEXT" } }, SPOTIFY_PREVIOUS: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_PREVIOUS" } }, SPOTIFY_VOLUME: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_VOLUME", payload: (params) => { console.log("SPOTIFY_VOLUME @",params) return params[1]; } } }, SPOTIFY_SEARCH: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_SEARCH", payload: (params) => { console.log("SPOTIFY_SEARCH @",params) return { type: "artist,track,album,playlist", query: params[1], random:false, } } } }, SPOTIFY_SEARCH_PLAYLIST: { notificationExec: { notification: "SPOTIFY_SEARCH", payload: (params) => { console.log("SPOTIFY_SEARCH_PLAYLIST @",params) return { type: "playlist", query: params[1], random:true, } } } }, CMD_VOLUME_UP: { notificationExec: { notification: "VOLUME_UP" } }, CMD_VOLUME_DOWN: { notificationExec: { notification: "VOLUME_DOWN" } }, CMD_VOLUME_SET: { notificationExec: { notification: "VOLUME_SET", payload: (params, key) => { console.log("@", params); return params[1]; } } } },hope this will help.
@Sean let me know if you want me to update the wiki.

@ejay-ibm thanks. As your wish, my colleague.
-
@ejay-ibm thanks, but it came out that the module was already fine only I didn’t know I had to setup Raspotify if I want a stand-alone solution.
Tbh you guys should state that as I guess many here would love to run Spotify completely from the mirror, but it is not so obvious. ;)
-
@Sean @ejay-ibm can you please add the option to hide module commands?
If someone like me is using MMM-AssistantMk2 to control it then buttons aren’t needed anymore. ;) -
@Cr4z33 We have added an option to hide the control
after doing a “git pull” from : ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Spotify/
you can set in your config file
control: "default", //"default", "hidden" available~Ejay
-
@ejay-ibm nice thanks! :thumbs_up_medium_skin_tone:
Also I didn’t notice in your last reply the many Spotify’ MMM-AssistantMk2 commands you were sharing.
Thanks for that too (although GA doesn’t understand properly yet when calling a specific Playlist, but hey we can’t have everything lol). :D -
@ejay-ibm @Sean I noticed only now that if using
allowDevices:with the Raspotify device name I can then hear the music, but somehow the module doesn’t ‘wake up’ and keeps showing the Spotify logo only. -
@Cr4z33 thats true. That was one of my feature request on page one. I only wanted to see the information about the song on the mirror when i play it on it. Because for other familie members the information about my playing songs arent very interessting when i am not at home. :-D

This post is deleted! -

Also @ejay-ibm maybe it’s because I translated them into Italian, but the commands used with MMM-AssistantMk2 that you posted earlier this week don’t get applied.
Ie. I say the hotword and then ‘next song’ and nothing happens…Usually GA either executes the command or replies saying he didn’t understand, but not this time… :thinking_face:

-
@Cr4z33 1st you have a wonderfull miror
2nd , if you send it to me maybe i’ll give you the answer ^^… joking …
I’m not sure what’s wrong .What I would do first is turn on verbose mode on hotword and Mk2 assistant and check .
1- Console log .
2- pm2 out logs ( see “pm2 show scriptname” )
3- pm2 error logsCapitalization is very important in hook eg .
hook is like “next song”
when you say this to assistant if assistnat wirte " Next song" that that wikk not work .All I can say for now is check the logs and share with us , that mitght help to help .

can whatever that is playing on your phone be played by the mirror too?
-
@icripps
If you mean multi-speaker, It isn’t.
To play Spotify on your MagicMirror(Raspberry Pi), you need to install Raspotify on your Raspberry Pi.
Then, you can play Spotify on your MM directly and can control Spotify (Wherever it played on). -
-
Okay thank you. Will manage what I have for now
-
Hi guys,
Do you know which parameter to play with into the custom.css to get the module smaller in size? (it’s taking to much place on my screen).
Thx
