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).

@ejay-ibm lol for my mirror and thanks for the suggestion. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

@icripps please note that to be able to use Raspotify a Spotify Premium account is MANDATORY. ;)

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

@bolish
Is style: "mini" still too big? It has only around 360px X 120px.
Unfortunately, there is no single magic keypoint to modify simply.
See MMM-Spotify.css and redefine values on your css/custom.css

@sean thanks for feedback.
I liked the default view, but wanted it to be a little bit smaller.

I was a bit lost into the .css but I will try to play around with it and see what happens.

Good idea would have been to have a single entry to modify ( like in %) so that user could adjust itself but I believe it’s very personal need, it’s maybe not worth to implement into the module.

Add this into your css/custom.css.

:root {
  --sp-width: 300px;
}
#SPOTIFY {
 width: var(--sp-width);
}
#SPOTIFY_INFO {
  width: calc(var(--sp-width) - 20px);
}
#SPOTIFY_INFO .text {
  width: calc(var(--sp-width) - 70px);
}
#SPOTIFY_COVER {
  width: calc(var(--sp-width) - 40px);
  height: calc(var(--sp-width) - 40px);
}

--sp-width:300px is magic point. adjust it as your wish. I think 200px is the minimal value possible.

@sean, thanks I will try in the evening

@Sean Works great. Tx

Another awesome module, thank you!

The displayed album cover goes dim when there is no playback which is nice. Would it be possible to add an option to completely hide the module when there is no playback?

@mmmmh
Add this into your css/custom.css

#SPOTIFY.pausing {
display:none;
}

@Sean said in MMM-Spotify:

#SPOTIFY.pausing {
display:none;
}

Simple and works perfectly. Thanks!

I stopped and quit the Windows 10 Spotify app, but the artwork keeps showing.

That checks only playing and pausing. Inactive device is another issue.
This module is pooling to pull current playback data per 1~2 secs.
PPL may have several spotify devices, so if one device is deactivated, but others could be alive. And there’s no way to receive one device’s activeness at event time. (Spotify API doesn’t support pushing to client)
To check “ALL DEVICES” are inactive, another pooling be needed to pull data about available devices per 1~2 sec. I’m not sure whether it’s good approach or not. It would make API usage double. (Somebody be already worrying about too many DNS calling by this module)
Anyway, I’ll consider it.

[Cr4z33]

@Sean OK thanks.

UPDATED

1.1.1 (2019-04-11)

• Added : CSS variable for easy adjusting size. (Adjust only --sp-width to resize)
• Added : Hiding module when current playback device is inactivated. If you don’t want to hide , modify CSS .inactive. (More test might be needed, but…)

This popped up today:

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Any Ideas?

The module seems to be working as it is supposed to… :confused_face:

set updateInterval to 1500 or 2000, then try again.

@Sean Hi Sean, from your descriptions I assume you have spent some quality time with the Spotify API. Is there a way to get user-related statistics (e.g. most often heard songs in recent time, new albums by favorite artists…) on the mirror? Have you tried out anything of that?
