NowPlayingOnSpotify authentication error

@sdetweil
Using browser on Pi,
But spotify will be used from my phone or computer once fully set up -
@MadeInMaine this process is authorizing THIS computer to talk to the Spotify system, thru the application you create on the spotify server. has nothing to do with phone or other computer.
so sounds like you didn’t start the authorization app per the instructions
-
Thanks for the reply.
I guess I don’t know what I did wrong and how to correct it. I followed the instructions to the letter.When I type in localhost:8888 to chromium browser, i get the “site can’t be reached”.
Could you explain what you think I am doing wrong and how to fix it?
Please and thank you
-
@MadeInMaine chromium browser doesn’t sound right. what browser are you using on the system running MagicMirror?
-
I am not using a browser to run MagicMirror.
I run it through terminal and “npm start” to run it.Not sure if that helps
-
@MadeInMaine when u do npm start , it starts the MagicMirror app, which displays thru a browser (electron by default)
the black background is electron …
on that screen, press ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard
and a second panel will open, the browser developers window
(just like on Windows, anything built on Firefox or Chrome) -
Looks like electron as it does not look like standard browser.
-
@MadeInMaine yes. it’s electron (what I said before).
-
Any advice on how to get the authentication to work?
-
@MadeInMaine no, clearly something you are doing
