    Spotify Mini Player: Control your Spotify library at your fingertips

    in Share your Workflows

    Posted

    I copied the code and went back to the "Install Library" section but nothing happens?

     

    After some time (with my library it takes about 15 seconds), you should get a notification saying that library has been created/updated.

    Can you check your /Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.vdesabou.spotify.mini.player directory and let me know if you have some files in there?

     

    You should have a library.json, library_starred_playlist.json and playlist_*.json files (one per playlist)

    Same here - unable to run the app! If I add the app manually, it disappears after reboot. 

     

    If you can see the same thing as "mattsaundersmcp", then you're fine. When you say that the app disappear after reboot, I think you mean that if you add the spotify mini player as Favorite, it is removed from favorite side bar at next spottily startup. I experience this as well. That's a small bug. The app is not removed, it just does not appear in sidebar. But you can still call it using the alfred spotify mini player menu, or just type "spotify:app:miniplayer" in search bar. But remember you need to access this app only when you have to update your library.

     

    Let me know if you need more help. Appreciate your feedback

    I've updated the library, re-cached all the artworks and changed the max results to 15 as well (I thought it would affect the amount of playlists returned but it doesn't) There's been a slight performance increase which is nice.

     

    Happy Days.

     

    I was thinking can it set up so that if I type "playlist" or "artist" or "album" etc it goes to the "browse by {x}" sub menu instead of performing the search? maybe hook it to {x}: e.g Playlist: Top 40 and it will find the playlist like it does in the playlist sub menu and allow you browse/launch/etc?

     

    Also, is it possible to add a whole playlist to the Alfred playlist with the shift option like you have on the albums? I'm using the AP basically as a play queue and I often combine several playlists into a "now playing" one in spotify and then play from the new one

     

    Done  :P

     

    2.5:

    • Quick access to menus, for example start typing setting and Settings menu will be selectioned
    • Add a playlist to Alfred Playlist using ⇧ modifier

    I have noticed that in my /Users/xxx/Spotify directory there is a spotify-app-miniplayer, but it's not a folder...it's a link with an unknown destination!

    That's the problem :-)

    It should be a symbolic link but a valid directory.

     

    -Can you try to delete the link in this directory, and then just call Spotify Mini Player (it checks the directory and create a symbolic link if it can't find it)

    rm ~/Spotify/spotify-app-miniplayer

     

    If it still doesn't work, you can copy the spotify-app-miniplayer folder from spotify mini player workflow folder in ~/Spotify folder

     

    Note: the symbolic is created using:

     

    ln -s /path/to/spotifyminiplayerworkflow/spotify-app-miniplayer ~/Spotify

    Hi thank you for the reply...

    - I have a spotify-app-miniplayer in my /Users/xxx/Spotify directory

    - I have downloaded and installed Spotify after updating account

    - I'm logged in Spotify with the same account (i have only 1 account)

    - I've restarted Spotify, i have tried to logout and login again and also to restart my mac but nothing change

     

    Strange..

     

    - what os x version are you using?

    - what spotify version do you have (in spottily-> about menu) (I have 0.9.0.129.g6978da9c)

    - Can you try to install spotify app example, see Installation section in  https://github.com/spotify/apps-tutorial

    Hi i have a problem with the mini player...it seems that spotify's app miniplayer doesn't work property...for example if i write "random" in Alfred 2, i get this error in Spotify:

     

    I have followed all your instructions...in fact on another mac mini player works good...How can i resolve it?

     

    Hi, things to check:

     

    -Do you have a spotify-app-miniplayer in your /Users/xxx/Spotify directory?

    -Did you download and install Spotify after you've subscribed to your dev account?

    -Are you logged in Spotify with same account used for Dev Account?

    -Did you try to restart spotify?

    -Did you try to logout and login again?

     

    Cheers

    Performance is fine all things considered - most results come back in <5s

     

    5 seconds is slow compared to what I have !

     

    however opening some of my larger playlists can take up to 30s

     

    I think you should try a "cache all artworks" (you don't need to clean it before) because since 2.3 I've improved the way we get artworks for playlists (before we did not get artworks for subscribed playlists, only our own playlists), so the 30 seconds might come from the fact the mini player download the artworks "on the fly".

     

     

    but to be honest most of the time I just launch playlist without browsing it first so that's not really an issue

     

    I do have it set to search all my playlists and max results is set to 100 so I wasn't expecting instantaneous results with a library of my size :-P

     

    Max results set to 100 is huge! I personally set it to 15 max.

    Why do you set 100 results? It is not handy to scroll within 100 results anyway ?

    Would be worth to test with 15 to see what are the performances

     

    Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!!

    Fast Spotify Search

    in Share your Workflows

    There are several Spotify alfred workflows that use the Spotify API, but are painfully slow.

    As there are not so many spotify workflows in the wild, I feel like you're referring to spotify mini player( http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1892-spotify-mini-player-version-24/ ) here :-)

    It does not use slow spotify API, but a local file representing the user library and everything is cached locally, so everything is made to be really fast. If you're looking for speed, you should definitely give it a try. And if you already tried it and found it slow, I would be interested to investigate in order to improve it!

    Cheers!

    Mini Player to control Spotify

    in Alfred Feature Suggestions

    Posted

    Also this one http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1892-spotify-mini-player-version-24/ (self promotion as well :-) )

    And you can actually use spotify mini player and spotifious at same time(when I listen to my library and my playlists, I use spotify mini player, and when I want to search a track not in my library, I look for it in spotifious)

    I tried to be as close as possible to iTunes mini player, so let me know what you think of it!

    Loving this app, what about a new feature to add a searched song to the play queue instead of playing it straight away? Maybe under an action modifier of shift.

     

    ...if that's even possible...

     

    Just a thought.

     

    Modifying the play queue is not technically possible, as a workaround, I added "Alfred Playlist" feature in 2.4, give it a try and let me know what you think :-)

     

     

    2.4:

    • Introducing Alfred Playlist: control a playlist from Alfred. Add Track with fn or Album with shift to the playlist, browse it or clear it from Alfred.

    Thanks for digging into this and sorry for my sluggish reply. 

     

    Interesting problem... if you delete the avatars folder in the extension directory and try again, does the same number of images show up again? It might be that something went wrong during extraction. The most general tip is to wrap

    with contextlib.closing(sqlite3.connect(path).cursor()) as db:
        for av in db.execute("SELECT skypename,avatar_image FROM Contacts WHERE type=1 AND is_permanent=1 UNION"\
                             " SELECT skypename,avatar_image from Accounts"):
            try:
                if av[1] is not None:
                    with open("avatars/"+av[0]+".jpeg","wr") as f:
                        f.write(str(av[1])[1:]) #For some reason, the first byte is 0, then the jpg starts.
                    bg = Image.open("avatars/"+av[0]+".jpeg").resize((96,96),Image.ANTIALIAS)
                    bg.save("avatars/"+av[0]+".jpeg")
                    for v in vers:
                        bg = Image.open("avatars/"+av[0]+".jpeg")
                        #bg.thumbnail((96,96),Image.ANTIALIAS)
                        fg = Image.open("images/status_"+v+".png")
                        bg.paste(fg, (0, 0), fg)
                        bg.save("avatars/"+av[0]+"_"+v+".jpeg")
            except IOError:
                pass
 

     

     

    Thanks that worked!

    Can you share with me your library.json in Application Support Folder and your 'guistate' file located in /Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Spotify/Users/spotusername-user/guistate ?

     

    I'll try to reproduce using your files.

     

    Thanks

     

    Interesting, I'm using your files and I cannot reproduce any of the errors you're reporting...

     

    Can you please open an issue here: https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/issues

    I get an error when installing the library - Notification says: "Library has been created. Notice: Undefined offset: 4 in create_playlists.php on line 92.

     

    When updating the artwork cache it eventually says - "Notice: Use of undefined constant artist - assumed 'artist' in …function.php on line 131"

     

    Whenever I have an artwork folder in the Application Support folder - I cannot see anything when I type "spot_mini" if I delete it I can see some options again. I search a playlist - files get added to artwork and then I can't see anything again when I type spot_mini...

     

     

    Can you share with me your library.json in Application Support Folder and your 'guistate' file located in /Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Spotify/Users/spotusername-user/guistate ?

     

    I'll try to reproduce using your files.

    I tried to debug a bit more and I get:

     

    python vinc.py

    raise ImportError("The _imaging C module is not installed")
ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

     

    Not sure yet how to fix this since I don't know python, I'll google it. But if someone knows the issue, that would be great :-)

     

    So I found a way to install the missing _imaging module (found here http://appelfreelance.com/2010/06/libjpeg-pil-snow-leopard-python2-6-_jpeg_resync_to_restart/)

     

    http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v8.tar.gz

go into your shell environment and untar by running the following

tar -zxvf jpegsrc.v8.tar.gz


cd jpeg-8

then run

./configure
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make install

     

    Looks better now, but now I get:

     

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "vinc.py", line 3, in <module>
    print s.sendMessage("skype update")

    raise IOError("image file is truncated (%d bytes not processed)" % len()
IOError: image file is truncated (7 bytes not processed)

     

     

    However, I have now 100+ images in avatars directory, so it looks like one of the images is corrupted. 

    Any idea how to fix that?

     

    Thanks
