[MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify] – Display the currently on Spotify playing song

muffinimal

Thanks developing this module. It’s one of the first modules I tried to set up on my setup.

Your instructions on how to configure very clear. Being new to MagicMirror I couldn’t get it to work fully, though. I finally figured out what I did wrong (I am still in the dark as to where I can find some useful logs): I installed your module to /home/pi instead of to the MagicMirror-folder.

As I didn’t want to bother on finding out on how to uninstall, I simply moved the entire directory to the right place and the module seems to run fine now :D

Awesome module! I’d been using the MMM-Scrobbler, but this is a better module in my opinion. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow as well! I really like how instant it is as well. I currently just set this up while on break at work, so I can’t check it out at home yet, but watching from a VNC, it is incredibly responsive! Thanks again sir!

Hey, very nice module and easy to install! Thanks!!!

I have a little question. I use a google assistent speaker… and when i say my google assistent “stop spotify” the song which is paused be show on my MM.
Can I hide the current song if it is paused for more than X minutes?

Thanks

@philreis This is unfortunately not possible. The waySpotify works is that no song is actually ever stopped but it is paused. That is why the API can’t differentiate between stopped or paused songs. The only way to force the display to show nothing is by quitting the Spotify client.

Loving this module so far.

As a feature request, would you be able to add a Config option to hide the progress bar? I’m not updating every second, so it makes the bar look off when it’s not moving/updating.

Just installed this and loving it so far! I’m trying to make a Pi media player, is there a way to make this work with tracks played through the Pi using Raspotify (or something similar) rather than always showing tracks tied to a specific account?

@raywo will you consider into doing the same kind of (beautiful) module for Deezer users too? :grimacing_face:

@raywo I’m having trouble authorizing the app. I entered the callback link, paste the Client ID and Client Secret. After I click “Authorize My App” and “Agree” on the next page, it takes me to this link https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize/accept and show error “Oops! Something went wrong, please try again or check out our help area.”

Any idea?

Great job man. Works great and instructions are flawless. Was very easy to install.
Thanks for the work.

A little off topic, but maybe someone can help or point in the right direction. I’m not able to play Spotify using the MM speaker. I’m using the Google AIY voice hat. Isn’t it possible?

I’ve completed all the steps, and the module is stuck on a Spotify logo with “Loading…” in the middle of it. I authorized the app and everything and can’t seem to get the module to display any now playing info. After a minute or so it goes to a spotify logo and says “Spotify”.
Any help is appreciated.
