Spotify connect, control 3rd device

Open odyslam opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

It is possible to use this library to automate spotify control, meaning that i want the device that runs this script(rpi) control another spotify device (pc).

I searched through the docs but I haven't find a clear answer, thank you for your time :)

Not sure what you mean. You can only have one active session (same user & pass) open on one of your devices at a time. This is a Spotify restriction.

This also means that you can control the flow of the music from every device you have your account opened on.

This library isn't capable of controlling other spotify devices, you could try https://github.com/badfortrains/spotcontrol though

Actually that's what I am trying to achieve. That library seems a little incomplete but I will give it a try It's strange that there are a dozen python spotify libraries but none seems to give the spotify connect functionality

You can try Spotify's Web API for controlling other Spotify Connect devices For example: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/start-a-users-playback/
