davidcannis Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 It's not asking me for client id and secret. Seems like I'm missing a step. Are all of the first-time setup instructions here? https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/wiki/First-time-use Link to comment

djjcarroll Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Season's Greetings From Canada!After seeing the Alfred Christmas 2014 calendar and the announcement of this Spotify mini-player (Day 13) I decided to "attempt" to install the workflow. As background, although I have been using Alfred for approximately 1-2 years, I am a newbie when it come to workflows; I have installed some however. Re your Spotify Mini Player I have followed all instructions to date but I seemed to be hung up at the Library updating stage, according to the message I get, 1350/7196 tracks have been uploaded or processed but that was from last night. I have gone over most of the back (in time) postings on this site to see if people have had similar issues, they have. I thus tried to follow some of your suggestions: 1. As per a posting on this forum from last year (see below) "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)" I have checked my library and I do indeed have the folder described above but I do not have any of those .json files. In the com.vdesabou.spotify.mini.player folder I have:Artwork folderlibrary_new.dbsettings_tmp.dbsettings.db update_library_in_progressLooking forward to some assistance in getting your workflow up and running.

Don J J Carroll Hi, Sure I'll be happy to help. Can you open an issue here https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/issues It would be better to do debugging from there. Link to comment
vdesabou Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 And please follow instructions from here https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/wiki/Troubleshooting I need this debug file to help troubleshooting. Link to comment

vdesabou Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have the same issue (library update stops at some point and never completes). Should I just wait the issue to be solved or I can do something at the moment? I assume that it is the first time you use the workflow, is that right? When the create/update library starts, it has a token from Spotify which is valid 1 hour. As it is the very first time you use the workflow, it downloads all artworks so it takes a while, so after one hour, the token is no more valid and the update stops.. The good news is that the next version will fix that because artworks will be fetched in background, so the update library will be a loooot quicker. ! The bad news is that I can't release the next version yet because it needs to use a beta version of Alfred which has not been publicly released... As a workaround you can: 1-Execute "spot_mini_kill" (see https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/wiki/Troubleshooting) 2-Then call the workflow again and it shall propose to Create the Library. It will process more tracks, and fail again...But there will be a improvement in the progress. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all your tracks are processed... Or maybe you can reduce (temporary) the size of your library: Maybe you're subscribed to a playlist with thousands of tracks ? So you could unsubscribe until the next version of the workflow is released (January) Let me know how it goes Link to comment
vdesabou Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have already tried the first workaround (kill the update and create the library again) with no success. After killing the update I got no improvement on the progress in some attempts, so now I gonna try to reduce the size of my library. Thank you for the fast reply. I sent you a PM so that I can get the debug file, maybe that's an other issue... Depending on the problem I may have to release a version 5.21 as it seems to impact quite a lot of users... Thanks Link to comment
vdesabou Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have tried the version you sent me by PM and now things work fine after running 3 times the "create library" command. Thank you! Ok good. I'm a bit surprised you had to run it 3 times with this version. But anyway, the next version would definitely improve this. Link to comment
vdesabou Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Version 6.0 is now live ! I have even created a specific website for describing the workflow http://alfred-spotify-mini-player.com See the release note http://alfred-spotify-mini-player.com/release-notes/#v6.0 Link to comment
vdesabou Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Version 6.0.1 is released, it should fix problems seen by some users (no such table: artists error, or "No ’error’ provided in response body" when creating library) IMPORTANT: If you got issue with library creation with version 6.0, follow steps here and choose 'Browse to App Support Folder', then in Finder, delete library.db and fetch_artworks.db files before re-creating the library Blog post: http://alfred-spotify-mini-player.com/blog/Version-6.0.1/ Edited January 30, 2015 by vdesabou Link to comment

rice.shawn Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I just have to chime in and say that this workflow is really amazing. It's one of the most polished ones that I've seen released. I recently looked at the code, and it's pretty amazing how much effort has been put into it, so kudos Vincent for making something so amazing and eminently useful. vdesabou 1 Link to comment

Martin Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 This looks great Are there any Spotify controllers that doesn't require having the Spotify Mac app running all the time? Like a controller for mopidy-spotify or spotifyd? Link to comment
vdesabou Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 This looks great Are there any Spotify controllers that doesn't require having the Spotify Mac app running all the time? Like a controller for mopidy-spotify or spotifyd? No I don't plan to use these kinds of controllers for my workflow because it requires a Spotify Premium account and I don't want to restrict the audience. There was an enhancement issue proposed some time ago https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/issues/40 as well. I'll stick to Spotify WEB API + Applescript for now. Link to comment
vdesabou Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) If you are one of the users who got an automatic update of Spotify desktop application (version 1.0.1, the one with Lyrics button), the workflow is broken because the AppleScript support is broken, see https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/issues/66 for details and how to install previous version and prevent auto-update. You can also kudos the problem here https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Instant-issues-with-new-update/m-p/1040271#M111276 so that Spotify gets it fixed ASAP Edited March 6, 2015 by vdesabou Link to comment
