MMM-Spotify

@Sean oh OK. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I ran npm start, but unfortunately no error came up.

Same thing for PM2 logs.

At the end I tried to delete and reinstall MMM-Spotify, but the issue is still happening.

By the way this is my current config entry:

		{
			module: "MMM-Spotify",
			position: "top_left",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				onStart: null, // disable onStart feature with `null`
				// allowDevices: ["Cr4z33 Mirror"],
				control: "hidden", //"default", "hidden" available
				}
		},

Try it without any config (default setup).
And nothing in log? Not only Error but also normal log can help to examine.
At least these(or similar) logs should be shown.

@Sean OK here is the console log output of default config with above module entry.
Please note that I also launched Spotify playing (after launching MM).

Hmmm weird. It seems nothing special suspicious point at all.
The only thing I suspect is that you are using different account on MMM-Spotify and your real spotify player. but i think it would have bare chance.
Try onStart to activate it by force, at least it would show some errors.

onStart: {
    device: null,
    search: {
      type: "playlist",       
      keyword: "death metal",
      random:true,
    }
  }

@Sean tried this config

		{
			module: "MMM-Spotify",
			position: "top_left",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				// onStart: null, // disable onStart feature with `null`
				// allowDevices: ["Cr4z33 Mirror"],
				control: "hidden", //"default", "hidden" available
				}
		},

and the white big Spotify logo came up at MM loading and then disappeared.

Isn’t it enough to // onStart line to let the module show all the time? :thinking_face:

Even if wasn’t the token OK at MM loading log?

Token might be OK with different account, but if different account is used, it cannot derive current playback info. (You cannot get spotify info from your friend’s account playback with your account). Have you several accounts for spotify?

This is normal. Unless you should customize CSS, with no playback, the module will be disappeared by default. (Some PPL have wanted so I added that feature.)
When playing on any Spotify player starts, module will be appeared. (If it can get current playback info from server)

@Sean OK so to be 100% sure everything is set properly I start installing the module from scratch again generating once more the JSON file and the token.

@Sean working now!

For some reason previous installation generated a token without .JSON at the end (I know because I made a backup on the Desktop) while this time it was generated properly!

Thanks for your support anyway. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
