Odly enough, that helped! Thanks!
This is the wrong forum…
Having this error today.
Failed to call service spotcast/start. get_spotify_token() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘sp_dc’
I did recheck my sp_dc and sp_key.
restarted HA.
Uninstalled spotcast. restarted HA. and reinstalled. No luck
I have the same problem
Maybe the cookies that generated the keys have been invalidated / expired? My spotcast component continues to work fine. Try regenerating new keys in incognito and update config.
No, this has to do with the 3.2.0 update. You most likely are still running the older version which does work properly. https://github.com/fondberg/spotcast/issues/104
Should be fixed soon, but in the meantime I downgraded back.
Problem solved with update 3.2.1
Thanks!
@fondberg
I’m still having my other problem.
Whenever I choose a speaker to play it on, it always plays my first playlist and I can’t seem to be able to change playlist… It always plays the first playlist and I can’t change it.
I’m I missing something somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
That seems like a spotify card problem. Ask the q over there so ppl there can help
Hi @fondberg - first of all let me say - awesome work man !!!
I have an issue which I cannot understand (it may be a minor slip) - after installing from HACS the spotcast, configuring it with the cookies, from Service - Call Service with the below code it works without an issue - the music starts immediately.
code 1 which works:
Service:
spotcast.start
Entity:
media_player.office_speaker
Service Data (YAML, optional):
device_name: Office speaker
entity_id: media_player.office_speaker
uri: 'spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX7cZxYLqLUJl'
random_song: true
shuffle: true
If I put the same as above in a script - Morning Alarm - it does not work anymore and throws the error in the subject
code 2 which does not work:
Script:
'1593159898420':
alias: Morning Alarm
sequence:
- data:
entity_id: media_player.office_speaker
random_song: true
shuffle: true
uri: spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX7cZxYLqLUJl
entity_id: media_player.office_speaker
service: spotcast.start
The error code is:

Any ideas on what I am missing? Thank you very much.
There are 2 mentions of entity_id in your code.
Thank you for the notice, but removing the entity_id from data: does not fix it:
'1593159898420':
alias: Morning Alarm
sequence:
- data:
random_song: true
shuffle: true
uri: spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX7cZxYLqLUJl
entity_id: media_player.office_speaker
service: spotcast.start
any ideas on what’s wrong with my code?
It did not work for me either - if you make an automation it will work.
Hi, can you give me an example? as if I try to call it from Services directly it works. If I want to use it in an automation - then it does not work and throws the above errors.
I send you an example later today…

this works in my automation
WOW 
it worked - unbelievable - thank you very much.
I think it’s because of the force_playback ? and not stating the device directly?
that was weird.
It works now. Thank you very much @ha_user22323

Trying to set up Spotcast.
My first script is this one.
spotify:
alias: 'Spotify'
sequence:
- service: spotcast.start
data:
device_name: Onkyo
uri: spotify:playlist:2vFYF85ujUdZpgpSbCM6g
I get an error after 30 redirects. Any ideas on solving this problem?

For some reason I’m not seeing this custom component in HACS…?
