## Spotify
|
||||
|
||||
forked-daapd has *some* support for Spotify. It must be compiled with the
|
||||
`--enable-spotify option` (see

forked-daapd has support for playback of the tracks in your Spotify library. It
|
||||
must have been compiled with the `--enable-spotify` option (see
|
||||
[INSTALL](https://github.com/ejurgensen/forked-daapd/blob/master/INSTALL)).
|
||||
You must have also have libspotify installed, otherwise the Spotify integration
|
||||
will not be available. You can get libspotify here:

You must also have libspotify installed, otherwise Spotify integration will not
|
||||
be available. Unfortunately the library is no longer available from Spotify, and
|
||||
at the time of writing they have not provided an alternative. You can, however,
|
||||
still get libspotify here:
|
||||
|
||||
- Original (binary) tar.gz, see https://developer.spotify.com
|
||||
- Debian package (libspotify-dev), see https://apt.mopidy.com

||||
- Debian package (libspotify-dev), see https://apt.mopidy.com
|
||||
|
||||
You must also have a Spotify premium account. If you normally log into Spotify
|
||||
with your Facebook account you must first go to Spotify's web site where you can
|
||||
get the Spotify username and password that matches your account. With
|
||||
forked-daapd you cannot login into Spotify with your Facebook username/password.
|
||||
|
||||
The procedure for logging in to Spotify is very much like the Remote pairing
|
||||
procedure. You must prepare a file, which should have the ending ".spotify".
|
||||
The file must have two lines: The first is your Spotify user name, and the
|
||||
second is your password. Move the file to your forked-daapd library.
|
||||
Forked-daapd will then log in and add all the music in your Spotify playlists
|
||||
to its database.
|
||||
The procedure for logging in to Spotify is a two-step procedure due to the
|
||||
current state of libspotify:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Put a file in your forked-daapd library containing two lines, the first being
|
||||
your Spotify user name, and the second your password. The filename must have
|
||||
the ending ".spotify"
|
||||
2. Delete the file again - forked-daapd will have read it.
|
||||
3. forked-daapd will log in and add all music in your Spotify playlists to its
|
||||
database. Wait until completed (follow progress in the log file).
|
||||
4. In a browser, go to http://forked-daapd.local:3689/oauth and click the link
|
||||
to authorize forked-daapd with Spotify.
|
||||
|
||||
Spotify will automatically notify forked-daapd about playlist updates, so you
|
||||
should not need to restart forked-daapd to syncronize with Spotify.
|
||||
should not need to restart forked-daapd to syncronize with Spotify. However,
|
||||
Spotify only notifies about playlist updates, not new saved tracks/albums, so
|
||||
you need to repeat step 4 above to load those.
|
||||
|
||||
For safety you should delete the ".spotify" file after first login. Forked-daapd
|
||||
will not store your password, but will still be able to log you in automatically
|
||||
afterwards, because libspotify saves a login token. You can configure the
|
||||
location of your Spotify user data in the configuration file.

|
||||
|
||||
To permanently logout and remove credentials, delete the contents of
|
||||
`/var/cache/forked-daapd/libspotify` (while forked-daapd is stopped).
|
||||
|
||||
Limitations: You will only be able to play tracks from your Spotify playlists,
|
||||
so you can't search and listen to music from the rest of the Spotify catalogue.
|
||||
Limitations:
|
||||
You will not be able to do any playlist management through forked-daapd - use
|
||||
a Spotify client for that. You also can only listen to your music by letting
|
||||
forked-daapd do the playback - so that means you can't stream from forked-daapd
