[IDEA] Integrating Raspotify to MagicMirror
-
I recently stumbled upon https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify , has anyone thought about making a module to show the album artwork and other details of the song that is currently playing? I think it would be really awesome!
-
There are a few posts I believe that have toyed with this idea. Doesn’t seem to have really taken off though. I do know a workaround is in place by scrobbling from Spotify to LastFM and using a LastFM module to display the current album artwork.

like this: https://github.com/CatoAntonsen/MMM-SpotifyConnectUI
or this: https://github.com/PtrBld/MMM-Scrobbler
?

This is the lastfm one that i’ve used, others may work too i’m not sure.

What do you play your Spotify on? I play my music on Sonos speakers around the house and use MMM-Sonos to show what’s playing where including the album art.

@cruunnerr I tried to work with MMM-SpotifyConnectUI, but the libspotify key generation deprecated a while ago. I have to wait for Spotify to email me an app key.

@joela85 Currently I’m using my phone and laptop to play Spotify. MMM-Scrobbler works fine when I’m streaming using phone and laptop, but when I try to stream using raspberry pi the track information won’t update.
