Spotify Playlist Player

Share your Projects!
1

Hi folks,

This is a player that can play selected playlist on a specified source using the spotify component.

This is inspired by the @Bob_NL 's Chromecast Radio station and player selection. And is in large just a modified version of the code found here.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/chromecast-radio-with-station-and-player-selection/12732

NOTE: Currently the spotify component can have some issues with source list remembering, so the source selection can be funky at times. Resulting in the playlist being played on the last used source - not the source you selected. It is unknown if this issue will be fixed in the future. However, you might have better luck than I had. In the near future Iā€™ll try to set up a dedicated spotify player like Mobidy and see if that works better, ill share my experience and code here.

So, letā€™s get to the code.

great addition, I was planning a similar approach, u saved me some time

edited the default volume though:

spotify_music:
alias: Play selected spotify playlist
sequence:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
entity_id: media_player.spotify
volume_level: ā€˜0.4ā€™
volume_level: ā€˜{{ states.input_slider.spotify_volume.state }}ā€™

also added:

spotify_music:
alias: Play selected spotify playlist
sequence:
ā€¦
- service: media_player.shuffle_set
data:
entity_id: media_player.spotify
shuffle: ā€˜trueā€™

Very, Very nice! I like this. I have copy it and it is working very good! Thanks!

I was wondering, is it posible to make it like a row switches? With activate behind it. Like this:

Playlist 1 Activate
Playlist 2 Activate
Playlist 3 Activate

A activate for every playlist. On this way i can use pictures from the cover in before the playlist nameā€¦
For my childeren. Then they can activate a playlist by see the picture and activate.

4

I like the shuffle function, did not think or knew that that was possible to do.

5

Iā€™m not sure if I understand you correctly, but you could have a input_bolion for every album and then a automation for every input_bolion - I donā€™t know to do it with multiple input_bolions and only one automation if that is what you mean? :slight_smile:

I like the childrenā€™s aspect of it, making them interact with the technology.

6

Thanks @GigabitGuy , i have make it how i want! Thanks for the input and example.
I make a tab on HA and build it out with all playlist and number we often lisen.

Also a part for the kids, then they can choose the music by there own. :grinning:

Thanks for the shuffle code for Spotify! Got mine going today - perfect for my setup - I didnā€™t know you could do that either! VERY COOL!

Thanks for your code!

Had some issues in the script but itā€™s solved! Great :smiley:

Iā€™m getting either a 403 Client error or a 500 Server error message when trying this code. Any suggestions on where I should look? Iā€™m guessing it has something to do with either API keys or Redirect URI (which I have set to http://192.168.1.26:80/api/spotify, although I get a 404 Not found when trying to access this address).

I havenā€™t opened up for external access to HASS and Iā€™d rather not if I can avoid it.

same problemā€¦

15

mine is not showing up ā€¦

16

@anon35356645 how did you manage to get the link including username?

17

sorry I canceled my message, now I am not sure what you are referring to

18

You asked how to extract the playlist link including the username and playlist ID. Since you canceled your post I figured you found out in the meantime and iā€™m also interested how to do that :slight_smile:

19

I found out: the username is ā€¦ well your username (or others, or spotify for playlist made by spotify).

For the playlist id, is very simple, run it on your browser is the last string of characters.

FOr example

user spotify
playlist 37i9dQZF1DX4WYpdgoIcn6

20

you know why the SHUFFLE is not showing in HASS?

@rensvdn
Is this wrong?

  -  service: media_player.shuffle_set
     data:
       entity_id: media_player.spotify
       shuffle: 'true'
21

Thanks for explaining. I donā€™t have the playlists running yet nor have any experience with shuffle. Will look into it once I have it up and running.

22

you can keep 2 volume_level?
