Spotify Playlist Player

Sunonline · April 28, 2018, 3:18am

Good morning.

I got my spotify works. However, I don’t understand about the media_player part especially the aliases part. Please kindly advice.

media_player:
  - platform: spotify
    client_id:  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    client_secret:  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    aliases:
         xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: 'Web Player (Chrome)' <== Where is the 'xxx' from and stand for? and also "Web Player (Chrome)" <== is this the name of speaker devices in HA example 'name of the media_player in ha I have?
         xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: 'All Home Speakers'

Thank you very much. I got it working so nice.

regarding the question above ‘aliases’ I didn’t use that part in my media_player at all.

Makani where did you add this code? Thanks!

Also what is the “ID” in your example.

@makani47
Your automation only updates when you pause or play the spotify. I added a feature to change the sliders while playing. It includes a 10 second delay to prevent input number jumping to “original” value. So when volume changed outside HA it actually takes 10 seconds + time to notice the change to update input_number.

@Dracoy
That code needs to be in “automation:” section. If you want to modify your automations from the front end they need to have unique ID’s. ID can be whatever you come up with.

- alias: Spotify volume (set)
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_number.spotify_volume
  action:
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data_template:
      entity_id: media_player.spotify
      volume_level: '{{ states.input_number.spotify_volume.state }}'

- alias: Spotify volume (get)
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: '{{(states.media_player.spotify.attributes.volume_level | float) != (states.input_number.spotify_volume.state | float) }}'
  action:
    # 10 second delay to prevent input_number jumping to "original" value
    # before it is updated from spotify
  - delay: '00:00:10'
  - service: input_number.set_value
    data_template:
      entity_id: input_number.spotify_volume
      value: "{{states.media_player.spotify.attributes.volume_level}}"

That might explain why I get errors on occasion with input_number. I hadn’t looked into it much since I last posted. I’ll give your modified version a try.

Hi,

I liked the idea of controlling spotify directly from panel but I wanted it to be bidirectional not only for volume but for shuffle and source too.

Here is my approach:

As I’m working with packages, I have everything related to spotify in packages/spotify.yaml

media_player:
  - platform: spotify
    client_id: !secret spotify_client_id
    client_secret: !secret spotify_client_secret

group:
  home_spotify_player:
    name: Spotify Player
    entities:
      - media_player.spotify
  
  home_spotify_controls:
    name: Spotify Controls
    control: hidden
    entities:
      - input_select.spotify_playlist
      - input_select.spotify_source
      - script.spotify_music
      - input_number.spotify_volume
      - input_boolean.spotify_shuffle

        friendly_name: "Spotify Volume"
        value_template: "{{ states.media_player.spotify.attributes.volume_level }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      spotify_shuffle:
        friendly_name: "Spotify Shuffle"
        value_template: "{{ states.media_player.spotify.attributes.shuffle }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      spotify_source:
        friendly_name: "Spotify Source"
        value_template: "{{ states.media_player.spotify.attributes.source }}"

      entity_id: input_select.spotify_source
      data_template:
        option: '{{  states.sensor.spotify_source.state  }}'

Additional Changes:

Volume Slider goes from 0-100
Volume Slider, Shuffle and Source are synced when Homeassistant starts or the state changed (i.e someone changed volume not in HASS)

Info:

The delay of 5 secs is enough for volume and shuffle to not rumble around
The (Sync) automations rely on the according sensors and if I’m right, HASS updates these attributes every 30 secs, so it might take a while to reflect in HASS

Happy Spotifying

This looks really good
Does this prevent Spotify from loosing the sources?

Nicras · May 3, 2018, 10:52pm

What do you mean?

maurizio53 · May 4, 2018, 12:10pm

Great project… i have just only one doubt: how to get the correct URI of my playlists to insert inside the package?

Nicras · May 4, 2018, 12:23pm

As you are in the Spotify app and on your playlist, click the three dots -> Share -> Copy Spotify URI

maurizio53 · May 4, 2018, 12:32pm

Thanks, and then i must put the whole link or only the last numbers?

Nicras · May 4, 2018, 12:44pm

the whole link…

Faecon · May 4, 2018, 2:52pm

I don’t want to open my HASS to the internet. Is it possible to use spotify without portforward and use a dyndns service ? ( I don’t even know how )

Nicras · May 4, 2018, 3:00pm

As far as I know you need to connect to a spotify developer app and this needs a redirect url to your HASS. But it might only be needed for initial connection and you can disable portforward afterwards

After configuring all without any error from checking the various configurations, i get the following error when i try to send spotify playlist to one of my media players:

Can you help me in tracking and solving this?

Nicras · May 4, 2018, 8:53pm

Does the player itself work?

phairplay · May 4, 2018, 9:26pm

I’ve set up Spotify and it keeps loosing the source to play from. Meaning I can’t get any scripts or automations to work.

maurizio53 · May 4, 2018, 9:27pm

What you mean? I have the player on the chrome and on the phone and all of them are working… did you mean this?

Nicras · May 5, 2018, 1:09pm

I mean the media_player in HASS

Nicras · May 5, 2018, 1:11pm

Please post your config and describe your problem more exactly
