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.

@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:

[SPOTIFY] API Request fail on : /v1/me/player

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?

Maybe possible.

I didn’t implement these apis yet. But not too difficult.
But… I have no idea how to use them for MM modules.
Maybe you can implement it by yourself. I made a class to wrap APIs so I think ppl can easily expand. https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Spotify/blob/master/Spotify.js

@Sean Well that’s fantastic. On my way…

What I see now as most interesting to me is a revolving Top 10 of songs for short_term, medium_term, and long_term.

@Sean I’ve switched Spotify account so I went to the MMM-Spotify folder, deleted the old token, update Client ID and Secret ID into spotify.config.json and created again (succesfully) the new token.

The problem is that now the module doesn’t come up when I want to play music from the smart mirror, BUT I still can hear the music (because of Raspotify I suppose).

Can you think about anything I am missing perhaps? :thinking_face:

PS: did you remove by chance your Telegram account? I am sending you private chat messages from time to time, but they never get a reply or show to be seen…
