mmmmh

@Sean Is it intentional that the z-index of the artwork (or the Spotify logo) is equal to or higher than whatever the Alert module shows? Alerts do not cover the Spotify module’s content.

A Former User

@mmmmh not intentional. i rarely use alert module, so i didnt know about it. if you can make PR to fix it, feel free to contribute.

Hi all! i ve set a config as

SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST: {
            notificationExec: {
                notification: "SPOTIFY_PLAY",
                payload: (params) => {
                    console.log("SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST")
                    return {
                        context_uri: "spotify:playlist:1EaTnmluBfauzzcOdjebNG", // 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 
            }
        },

and activate it with

SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST: {
            pattern: "play my playlist on spotify", // (.*)  is an action  eg: play my playlist / run my playlist etc... 
            command: "SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST"
        },

but every time i get this result which is very weird
weird response

any ideas plz?

@larrougos
It seems MMM-AssistantMk2’s commands.
You made some mistakes.

This is somewhat similar what you want.

"SPOTIFY_MA_PLAYLIST": {
  notificationExec: {
    notification: "SPOTIFY_PLAY",
    payload: "spotify:playlist:1EaTnmluBfauzzcOdjebNG"
  }
}

notificationExec cannot emit multiple notifications. It will emit just one - In your case, the last “SPOTIFY_NEXT” would be emitted. that’s why your issue happened.

If you want to emit several notifications, use MMM-NotificationTrigger to relay and chain notifications. Or you can use moduleExec to make some logics. (Anyway that is not the point).

And SPOTIFY_SHUFFLE is just toggle flag for current status, so it will not guarantee to be a shuffle mode.

ok!! thats a start! can you please help me with that! i mean how this should have a proper syntax! i would really appreciate.

Also another problem that i have is that if spotify is not already playing in the background i am not able to play anything. whatever command i give. and the frontend does not even show the spotify logo. it just disappears on after one sec on start.

In that case, maybe, the module cannot find available active devices. It doesn’t mean you have no device. But by default, Spotify doesn’t know which device is yours unless it is powered and logged as your account.
So at least one of your devices need to be activated when this SDK is used. I recommend to install Raspotify, that could makes your spotify always on.

i am running from ubuntu laptop with Spotify application! i tried with raspotify to install but from what i understood it does not support the laptop arch!

First of all thanks for the module and the effort you put in it.

@Sean said in MMM-Spotify:

updated

1.1.0 (2019-03-25)

Device Limitation : Now you can allow or limit devices to display its playing on MM.

One question regarding the device limitation: if I leave it empty, the module shows the cover etc. as it should. If I try to limit it to my echo dot with

 allowDevices: ["myechodot"],

the spotify logo appears if I start playback on the echo dot, but no cover etc. is shown. Any hints?

A Former User

@rabbit83ka
When you play something on your echodot, nothing been displayed?

rabbit83ka

@Sean
If I comment out

//allwoeDevices: ["myechodot" ]

it shows the album cover/etx/progress etc. when I play something on my echo dot. With

 allowDevices: ["myechodot"],

the spotify logo appears when something is played on the echodot, but no cover/text/progress etc. is shown.

However, the

    SPOTIFY_PLAY: {
      pattern : "music please",
      command: "SPOTIFY_PLAY"
    },

Doesn’t work. It recognizes the command, but nothing happens. Playback from the mirror (raspotify) doesn’t happen. If I switch the source from my desktop/phone spotify app to Raspotify, then everything is fine (e.g. I renamed the player from Raspotify to MagicMirror if that matters).

There are no errors in the logs as far as I can see.

Any thoughts?

A Former User

@Ivanov_d
Only that command doesn’t work? Other’s OK?
Raspotify should be already running when you use this module. (This module cannot boot up Raspotify itself)

Ivanov_d

@Sean yes, the other commands work. I can skip the song, increase/decrease the volume and etc. Also Raspotify is running, because I can start the playback on the mirror from my Desktop/Smartphone app.

Ivanov_d

@Sean, I did some more testing and I can confirm that this is the only command that doesn’t work. Maybe I am not understanding it correctly.

My expected results would be:

Raspotify is running in the background (but no music is playing)
When I say “music please” spotify will start a random song and play it on the MagicMirror

The result however is:

Raspotify is running in the background and no music is playing
When I say “music please” I see no errors in the logs, however, no music is starting as well
To workaround this I start the music from my smartphone or desktop app and switch the player to MagicMirror, after that I can control the player via AssistankMK2

A Former User

@Ivanov_d
There could be 2(or 3)kinds of possibility about your issue;

AssistantMk2 cannot catch your word “music please”
AssistantMk2 could catch “music please” but cannot emit “SPOTIFY_PLAY” notification
Spotify cannot receive (or understand) SPOTIFY_PLAY notification. (hmmm… I can’t agree about this)

Well, I’ll test from last third issue. Wait for a while.

A Former User

@Ivanov_d
I just tested 3rd case, and there is no problem to work. I think your music please phrase is not hooked, because music is reserved word for default Music feature of Assistant itself(for Youtube Music or Spotify on Google Home itself, but not yet supported by SDK for devices - only allowed for Google Home or some genuine devices). Some keywords or phrases are reserved for Google itself. Unless you override the keywords by Custom Action for Assistant (And even though, cannot guarantee it will work), your music keyword couldn’t work.
Can you try other phrase? like “stay tune.” or any phrase you like.

Ivanov_d

@Sean I will try that and report back. Thanks for the suggestion.
