I assume this is only working for those with a paid subscription?
As a non-paid user, I get the following error:
spotipy.client.SpotifyException: http status: 403, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/volume?volume_percent=30:
Not available for the current userYeah, you need a premium (paid) account for API controls to work.
Nice project but in my config there is a problem. Any ideas?

About this shuffle mode does it always play the same 1rst track then start shuffeling at the 2nd one?
or how does this work cause i have:

Great work @Wheezy, I didnāt know about the new package feature, as I have been away from HA a while. Iām having huge issues with automations in general after trying to split it up/being away for a couple of months, maybe this approach can fix my issues as well.
Iām going nuts over this! Iāve must have tried a hundred different combinations of base_urls and redirect URIās to no avail, I get either an Error 500 or a Invalid redirect URI no matter what I do.
The firewall ports are open, I can access HASS from outside my LAN, so my Duckdns redirect is working. Iāve tried using the local server IP as URI, Iāve tried my Duckdns address, with and without trailing slashes or port numbers. Still I get an error all the time. What am I doing wrong?
configuration.yaml:
http:
# Uncomment this to add a password (recommended!)
api_password: xXxXxXxXxXx
# Uncomment this if you are using SSL or running in Docker etc
base_url: XxXxXxXxXxX.duckdns.org
media_player:
- platform: cast
host: 192.168.1.152 #Kitchen
- platform: spotify
client_id: XxXxXxXxXxXXxXxXxXxXxXXxXxXxXxXxX
client_secret: xXxXxXxXxXxxXxXxXxXxXxxXxXxXxXxXx
(Yes, I have saved them)
From the log:
2017-12-16 22:57:47 INFO (Thread-5) [homeassistant.components.media_player.spotify] no token; requesting authorization
The last times I ran the authorization before writing this post, I got an INVALID_CLIENT: Invalid redirect URI in my browser, it doesnāt matter if I use my internal IP:port or my Duckdns address. Neither the HASS log or the journalctl output will give me any more details on whats wrong.
Edit: after changing my base_url to my local IP for the umptieth time it suddenly works.
http:
# Uncomment this to add a password (recommended!)
api_password: xXxXxXxXxXx
# Uncomment this if you are using SSL or running in Docker etc
base_url: http://192.168.x.xx:8123 #
Spotify whitelist as above.
Now that the authorization is done I just have to get it working too, that seems easier said than doneā¦
With all respect @bonterra, but I donāt think this is the thread to be doing component troubleshooting in, and you might get better help in a dedicated thread. 
Yeah, youāre probably right. Eventually I did get the authorization to succeed though, I added my details to my post above. Iāll give @Wheezyās package a try once I find some time to sit down.
Easy workaround: Just automatically skip to the next track once shuffle is enabled.

Hey Home Assistant Community,
I figured out a way to accomplish casting Spotify Playlists to Chromecast Audioās through Home Assistant. I use this project in tandem with a writeup on Mopidy and Icecast2, can be found here: https://www.vittoriomonaco.de/home-automation-part-7.html
You can use my adaptation here:
https://github.com/robwolff3/homeassistant-config/blob/master/packages/audiocontrol.yaml
From my testing so far it works pretty well.
dude this is exactly what i need, basically commenting to remember for later so i can adjust mine. I thought that w should ahve ability to set the text and value on input_selects so we donāt have to do anything weird.
Nice @robwolff3, I tried to play with Mopidy earlier on, but newer really got it going - that tutorial was just what I neededā¦ Maybe its time to revisit and update this when I have the time.
Commenting to setup myself soon. Thanks for all the code 
Great trick!
How did you set up your āAll Home Speakersā ? I can play only one device with spotifyā¦
In gh, you can create groups of speakers containing chromecast audio and gh devices. Name it and it will show up as a new device that you can cast to.
I have this configuration, the playlist select works fine, but the source not at all. Any hints?
Other thing, do I need the below automation, for?

Iāve just started using packages and I had to make a few amendments to the last one I tried because of thisā¦
Edit: Also, your package has an entity_id āscript.playlist_remoteā in a group, but doesnāt actually exist in the package.
Edit2: Nevermind, got it all working, found the script elsewhere in your config. THANKS!
Hi, I also could not find that script: script.playlist_remote
Any hint about where to look for?
Thanks in advance.
