Spotify Browser

Hi All,

I’ve been building a Spotify Browser to somewhat replicate the Spotify Desktop application but for Lovelace. My use is for my wall mounted tablets throughout the house to control the house Spotify Account. I’m slowly working on making it mobile app friendly. It’s still very alpha, but useable. It depends on the SpotifyPlus Integrationcomponent.

You might want to edit the initial comment of this thread from “It depends on the Spotify Pro component” to the following, so people are not confused about the underlying requirements:

It depends on the SpotifyPlus Integration component.

Spotify Browser V0.0.8

Integrates with Last.FM to query similar artists in the Artist window.

It’s just so cool. Thank you for sharing!

One little thing, Spotify recommends “Good Morning” playlists in the evening. Do I need to configure the timezone somewhere?

That’s a bug. I need to finish working on the home menu. Will offer some more options for the top row.

I’ve tried installing the add-on five times using HACS – rmoving and adding the repo 3 times. It always downloads, no errors – but the Card never shows when I try to add to the Dashboard?

so I pulled up a Manual card, added the YAML starter code and see this (see screenshot)

Your repo doesnt say anything about requiring manual YAML coding? Does it not have any showing on the Dashboard Card selection menu or any visual setup at all? Or defaults for the card that automatically create the card basics?

Please add some info to the repo so we know how to actually install, add, and use the card. thx for making what looks to be a very useful addon

Check out Issue #1 How to Display UI for a solution. I had this issue as well, and posed a question on the wiki.

Hope it helps.

This happens to me very often with anything HACS I install. It’s a cache thing I think. It takes several days or restarts for the component to be seen. It’s extremely annoying. If anyone knows a fix!
Beautiful Spotify Card. It’s been needed for HA. Thanks

thanks for the pointer. I’ll wait until its more beta’ish… this card has a lot of promise too much manual setup right now and the default card works.

Hello, is only way to view results to press “Spotify browse” button? can i view immediately this screen? thank you

@Andrea_Ciullini, the button is merely activating a hash to the url which is what the card listens for to open the browser. You could in theory add #spotify-browser to your default load url, or whatever button is navigating to that view.

You can open a feature request if you’re looking for an option to configure it to auto open

Hello,
Great card on paper, looking forward to see it evolve !
Would it be possible for this card to work as a native card, as oppose to a popup like it currently is ?
I’m using a lovelace dashboard with multiple tabs, one of them is dedicated to media playback. This would be a perfect card inside my media tab, but right now since it’s only a popup, it’s not as useful as I would have hopped.

Also multiple questions/notes :

> queue:
>   desktop:
>     open_init: true
>     miniplayer:
>       previous: true
>       next: true
>       shuffle: true
>       like: true
>       volume: true
>       device: true
  • All the “See All” buttons don’t do anything ?
  • “Your Library” is supposed to take us back to the main view ? Because it does nothing as well.
  • Under every device in the source list, it shows “Unknown” for some reason.

  • Could it be possible to customize the images associated with each devices, in the same vein as what @thlucas did with his card ? Tell me if I need to open a feature request for this.

Anyway, for an alpha version, this is already an awesome card !

@DevoliaEsp Thanks for the feedback. I’m working hard in the background on a rewrite to address speed, a lot of bugs, and make the card more stable. I’ve taken requests into account and hope to have a new release in the next week or so.

Any news? :grin:

@nelsonamen Sorry for the radio silence. I stopped developing the card when Spotify nerfed the Web API. I’ve been waiting to see if they’d relax the API rate limiting which seems like they have. I’ll try and push the Beta version sometime next week. It’s a major overhaul

I hope this works out. I don’t make playlists on spotify, its background music for the most part. I like the made for me mixes… and picking random things. It’s about all i am missing from my dashboard. If this works out i would love a little card like the Maxi Media Player size vs a whole page.

Any update on this?
