How to clear queue?
I'm finding a way to clear all songs from queue but couldn't find it. Can we have this feature in the future? Thank you.
Any progress here? It's super difficult to develop anything involving queuing without this.
Same, developing with queue is impossible without this feature. Are there any plans to make this happen soon?
Not the best way, but what I do is send a specific track (can be a sound effect) to the queue and keep advancing (and removing items) as fast as possible to the "next" track until I find the "id" (the end of the playing queue). Here is the Js code of my recursive function. It can give you a rough idea of a possible solution:
static clearSpotifyQueue(init) { //Recursive
let i=init;
let id="0ICWP0NnWaJUCgp6EvgNmT"; //Mission Imposible, my 'tag' track. This can also be changed so that you can send an specific id to the function.
let tId="";
if(i>=25){setLoops(); return;} //Max number of tracks in the queue that will be removed
if(i===0){ //the first time send the track to the queue
clearInterval(theLoop); //specific to my application. Stops updating the UI
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/queue?uri=spotify:track:'+id , method:'POST',
headers: Player.getHeaders() //replace by corresponding headers
}).done(setTimeout(function(){Queue.clearSpotifyQueue(i+1);},1000)); //adds some delay before calling the function again, otherwise it won't work
} else {
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player', method: 'GET', headers: Player.getHeaders()
}).done(function (data) {
tId = data.item.id;
if(tId===id) {
Player.next(0); //implements a simple player/next or eliminate if you want to play the 'tag' track
setLoops(); //specific to my application...change it.
} else {
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/next', method:'POST', headers: Player.getHeaders()
}).done(setTimeout(function(){Queue.clearSpotifyQueue(i+1);},2000));
}
});
}
Yes i gonna do the same, enqueue a specify song (hope user does not enqueue that song before). I think the api (web and sdk) are very limited.
The current state of the API gives very limited control of the playback.
I want to hold and control a playlist in my application and keep the playback in sync. I tried 2 different methods to achieve this:
- Working with the queue gives no control over reordering tracks, clearing the queue.
- Working with a custom playlist gave me the most control, except this gave me problems later on. The client automatically synchronises with changes being made by the API. Until x changes have been made, then the client gets 'throttle limited' and won't update anymore until you manually refresh the playlist (by switching to another playlist and back). That makes the playback uncontrollable.
I would love to hear suggestions/work arounds :)
5 years later... please add support for this or at least explain why you won't
