Spotify with MMM-Assistant2Display

sdetweil

@killerjoe34 by default, the pi does not enable PLAYING spotify music ON the PI… the librespot or raspotify modules must be installed outside of MM and configured to enable the PI to be a spotify device.

if u install the Spotify Connect app on your windows machine, it will show u the devices it knows about and let you start play on one of them. (if u have a spotify premium account)

there u can tell if the librespot or raspotify setup is correct and working

THEN
you can use the MMM-Spotify module to SEE what is playing wherever
and
the A2D extension to send commands to start/stop play on the spotify device.

recipes: [ “with-MMM-Spotify.js”, “with-radio_fr.js” ]

why using “with-MMM-Spotify.js” recipe ?
[pourquoi utilisez-vous le recipe de “with-MMM-Spotify.js”]

I will broken the search spotify process
[Cela va poser souci pour la découverte des lien spotify et ne trouvera rien]

connectTo: null
You need to give the name of your Librespot device, I will connect to it when you want to play music
[Vous devait renseigner le nom que vous avez donner a votre Lecteur Librespot, pour qu’il se connecte a lui a la demande]

and You can call any spotify music with play Thriller on Spotify after activating assistant
[ Ensuite vous pouvez demander a l’assistant Mets Thriller sur Spotify une fois activé]
[L’assistant decouvrira le lien et ouvrira librespot pour ecouter la musique demandé]

Ok, I removed Spotify recipe
And null is the name I left by default it seems :D
If I enable this device (null) on the Spotify App, I can hear the music through my MM, so that looks good

But if I say “Jarvis, play Thriller on Spotify”, GA says “opening app” and nothing :(

@Bugsounet i have not read your doc in a long time, been busy…

Oh strange thing, I just opened teh app on windows again and MJ began to sing on my MM :D

I guess I don’t have the right command words, where can I find or modify them ?

It’s a tag to say to spotify module: there is no Librespot installed so … i will never connect to it automaticaly
[c’est un tag qui permet de dire qu’il n’y a pas Librespot installé, donc il ne se connectera pas automatiquement]

You have to set the name of your Spotify device
[Vous devez donc definir le nom du lecteur]

connectTo: "LibreSpot",
For example

Ah si si ! J’essaie de suivre et je modifie à mesure, j’ai pleinement confiance en vos capacités, n’en doutez pas ;) Et d’ailleurs ça fonctionne maintenant grâce à vous !
Je cherche juste quelles commandes lui lancer :D

A Former User

In GA configuration, you can set your prefered command to stop all process of A2D

A2DServer: {
  useA2D: true,
  stopCommand: "stop"
},

Actually, it’s an english value
so set stopCommand: "stoppe" for frenchies

killerjoe34

Thanks again ;)

if i leave out the recipe with-MMM-Spotify, my a2d will not follow instructions? i have tried the with-A2DSpotify recipe and the search doesnt work.

speaking of search… is anyone elses spotify search results a bit weird… for example i say “jarvis play jack johnson on spotify” it returns a crazy song called jack johnson/ghostrider. if i get more specific and ask “jarvis play jack johnson, upside down on spotify” it returns an the sone upside down but its from Acoustic tribute to jack johnson album. its as if the mainstream artists are avoided!?

edit:

ive just seen this…

so am i right in thinking that search is still under development?

thanks very much for all time and effort in modules! :)
