ovos-media-plugin-spotify

This is a Spotify plugin for ovos-audio and ovos-media. It lets OVOS start playback on Spotify.

NOTE: You also need the companion skill to integrate with voice search.

Install

pip install ovos-media-plugin-spotify

Oauth

You must perform Oauth manually.

After you install the plugin, run ovos-spotify-oauth on the command line and follow the instructions.

$ ovos-spotify-oauth
This script creates the token information needed for running spotify
        with a set of personal developer credentials.

        It requires the user to go to developer.spotify.com and set up a
        developer account, create an "Application" and make sure to whitelist
        "https://localhost:8888".

        After you have done that enter the information when prompted and follow
        the instructions given.

Configuration

Edit your mycroft.conf and add the Spotify players you want to expose.

The easiest way to configure this is the ovos-spotify-autoconfigure command.

$ ovos-spotify-autoconfigure
This script will auto configure ALL spotify devices under your mycroft.conf
        
        SPOTIFY PREMIUM is required!
        
        If you have not yet authenticated your spotify account, run 'ovos-spotify-oauth' first!

Python usage

If you do not want to use the companion skill, you can write your own integrations.

s = SpotifyClient()
# pprint(s.query_album("hail and kill by manowar")[1])

from ovos_utils.skills.audioservice import ClassicAudioServiceInterface
from ovos_utils.messagebus import FakeBus

bus = FakeBus()
audio = ClassicAudioServiceInterface(bus)

audio.play("spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX08jcQJXDnEQ")
audio.play(["spotify:track:5P2Ghhv0wFYThHfDQaS0g5",
            "spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX08jcQJXDnEQ"])
time.sleep(5)
audio.pause()
time.sleep(5)

audio.resume()
time.sleep(5)

audio.next()
time.sleep(5)

audio.prev()
time.sleep(5)

print(audio.track_info())
