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!

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.

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"
        },
