This option contains the Spotify Connect canonical login ID (e.g. 3758dfdsfjk435hjk6k79lm0n3c4, 1257898300, etc) used to login to a Spotify Connect device. This MUST be the canonical equivalent value of the spotifyConnectUsername value. Note that for some Spotify accounts, the LoginId and Username values are the same. Not sure why that is, as it’s a Spotify internals kind of thing.
The LoginId value can easily be found using the Spotify Developer Web portal, using the Get Current Users profile service. Click on the Try It button, then find the id response value.
This option is required when activating Spotify Connect devices (including librespot).
This release requires the SpotifyPlus Integration v1.0.67+ release; please make sure you update the SpotifyPlus integration prior to updating this SpotifyPlus Card release.
Some Spotify Web API functionality has been deprecated unexpectedly (and without prior notice!) by the Spotify Development Team, and has affected SpotifyPlus Card functionality. More information can be found on the SpotifyPlus Card Troubleshooting Guide wiki page, as well as the Spotify Developer Forum Blog.
Due to the above chnages made by Spotify, any Algorithmic and Spotify-owned editorial playlists are no longer accessible or have more limited functionality. This means that you can no longer obtain details via the SpotifyClient.GetPlaylist and SpotifyClient.GetPlaylistItems methods for Spotify-owned / generated content (e.g. “Made For You”, etc). A 404 - Not Found error will be returned when trying to retrieve information for these playlist types.
Added category shortcut capability to user-defined presets. This will allow you to quickly display category playlists. This change is irrelevant though, as the support for category playlists was deprecated by the above Spotify Development team changes to their API!
I am leaving the deprecated functionality within the card for the time being, with the hope that Spotify changes it’s mind and restores the functionality.
In your reply to that, you mentioned you have a Denon AVR X-1600H and Teufel holist speakers. I am waiting on someone to run some Wireshark network traces for me on a Denon HEOS device (similar to yours maybe). After I get those, I should know a little bit better of what is going on with the Denon devices.
I don’t have any Denon devices to test with, so I am relying on others with Wireshark network tracing abilities to help me out.
Hello, I would love to help you with Wireshark. However, I have no experience with it! If you say the whole thing is feasible for a layman with your help, then I can install it. Best regards
Stefan
This release requires the SpotifyPlus Integration v1.0.68+ release; please make sure you update the SpotifyPlus integration prior to updating this SpotifyPlus Card release.
Added “Active User” information to Spotify Connect Device details display.
I just done first tests and identified an issue around the default coloring. I’m using dark theme and the colors of background and font do not have enough contrast. What would be best way to change it? By card-mod or would you add this feature native?
@somansch
What is the name of the playlist that you marked in your screenshot with the red arrow? I would like to search for it and see how it appears on my system. It should not be too hard to add more contrast to the titles.
It’s not about the specific playlist. All search results have the same appearance. Seems to be a styling issue in my CSS. I use “Mac-OS theme” and done some changes around coloring. What colors variables are you using for the background and font of these buttons?
I’ve done some research in dev-tools of the element “button.button”, but can’t find the difference .
I am going to adjust the background of the title / sub-title text to use a faded gradient instead of a solid color. I am also going to change the text color to use a variable (e.g. --spc-medialist-items-color: white) for the media items. This value defaults to white, which will contrast better on the gradient background. You can customize the --spc-medialist-items-color by overriding the theme. I am also thinking about a configurable “media list item text color”, so you can set the media list items via configuration settings. That will come later though.
Thanks, this information helps a lot. I’ve setup the additional “rgb-card-background-color” entry in the existing MacOS theme (as it was not defined in this theme yet). Now, I got the contrast for better readibility
This release requires the SpotifyPlus Integration v1.0.69+ release; please make sure you update the SpotifyPlus integration prior to updating this SpotifyPlus Card release.
Added playerVolumeControlsHideLevels config option that hides volume level numbers and percentages in the volume controls area of the Player section form. Volume slider control is not affected by this setting.
Added albumFavBrowserItemsLimit config option that specifies the maximum number of items to be returned by the Album Favorites media browser.
Added artistFavBrowserItemsLimit config option that specifies the maximum number of items to be returned by the Artist Favorites media browser.
Added audiobookFavBrowserItemsLimit config option that specifies the maximum number of items to be returned by the Audiobook Favorites media browser.
Added episodeFavBrowserItemsLimit config option that specifies the maximum number of items to be returned by the Episode Favorites media browser.
Added playlistFavBrowserItemsLimit config option that specifies the maximum number of items to be returned by the Playlist Favorites media browser.
Added showFavBrowserItemsLimit config option that specifies the maximum number of items to be returned by the Show Favorites media browser.
Added trackFavBrowserItemsLimit config option that specifies the maximum number of items to be returned by the Track Favorites media browser.
Added “Copy X Preset JSON to Clipboard” action for all section detail displays that contain a “Copy X Preset Info to Clipboard” action. This will create a user-preset JSON format configuration entry for the selected media and copy it to the clipboard; the entry can then be pasted into the userPresets.json file, which will create a user preset for the media item.
Added theme variable --spc-card-footer-background-color to set card footer area background color; default value for the player section is vibrant color (based on cover art colors); default value for all other sections is card background color.
Added theme variable --spc-card-footer-background-image to set card footer area background image; default value for the player section is a gradient, which provides good contrast; default value for all other sections is card background color.
Added theme variable --spc-card-footer-color to set card footer icon foreground color; default value is inherit, which is card foreground color value.
Adjusted scrollbar colors to more closely match selected theme.
@somansch
I added a Themes wiki page to document the various theme variables, as well as provide examples for popular themes. I also added the “macOS” example theme example, which gives you an idea of how to modify a theme for both light and dark modes.
Make sure you update to the latest SpotifyPlus Card and SpotifyPlus Integration versions.
