Thanks ! Really appreciate the feedback

[AnnieYazbeck]

I have acrossed this page: Spotify Mini Player to find the Alfred Spotify Mini Player, which could be one of the best mini player for Spotify for me to control Spotify music at my fingertips. 

Thanks very much for your hardworking and keep move on!

Have a nice day! 😜

Alfred Spotify Mini Player workflow has been stuck on 19310/35490 artwork downloaded for about a week. I believe I started the download and left my house a few hours later, disconnecting from the internet. I am sure that this is what caused the issue but I don't see a way to resolve it. Is there a way to reinitiate the download of artwork or should I reinstall the workflow?

type spot_mini_kill in alfred to stop the artwork downloading process.

 

note for everybody: reinstalling the workflow never helps 😉

And what do I do to start the download process again? Will it remember the artwork downloaded already and just download new artwork? And will I need to tell it to download artwork as I add more songs to my playlists?

 

Thanks!

It is just automatic, it will download in the background during next library update. And yes it will remember current progress and only download new artworks.

Is there a way to play a Playlist randomly? It would be great if I can just shuffle my songs.

There are random track and random album commands already. But not for playlist.

 

[Belfong]

Will be great to have an option to play random song from a playlist though. That way, I don't always have to start from the first song in the playlist. It gets boring after a while.

For that you can activate shuffle directly from the workflow

Can the Spotify Mini Player skip 15 seconds ahead/behind while playing podcasts? If not can this be added?

 

Also to change the playback speed of podcasts would be nice too, though I'd not use it personally.

Thanks for the suggestions, I've opened https://github.com/vdesabou/alfred-spotify-mini-player/issues/550 to track this. Let's follow-up there

[Kelson01]

When I activate the Spotify mini player window I am not able to do the same command again to close it. I am used to doing this with the clipboard history and within Alfred itself. Am I doing something wrong or is the workflow unable to do this?

I don’t think that is possible to do that with workflows.

it’s more a generic question rather than specific to my workflow

 

but if you find that it is possible to implement, let me know and I will update the workflow !

[Kelson01]

Would the workflow be able to detect if you run the command again and would it be able to virtually press the escape key? Or would this break things? Is this possible with if statements?

How can I disable this workflow sending me notifications? I scrolled through the workflow and I don't see a notification block and I also went in the settings of the workflow from inside the mini player and disabled the notifications, but I'm still receiving them.

I successfully set up mini spot on 1 computer. Then when I set up Alfred and attempted to use it on a 2nd computer, I had some authentication issues. 
 

After trying to troubleshoot, I’m at the point where I essentially try to start from scratch but then receive a error 429 when attempting to authorize. 
 

I sent in a debug email late last night with the error log. 
 

anyone have any tips for clean remove/replace?

I've just upgraded my Mac to Monterey and the notification looks like this:

 

 

Any idea what to change to see the coverpics?

Things are a little bit better today:

Have you rebooted since the upgrade ? That generally fix this issue

[flex]

Thanks for your response. Reboot not helped.

 

Mini Player, itself has the artwork but not the notification:

☹️

I'm getting a 'INVALID_CLIENT: Invalid redirect URI'.

 

Do I need to add a redirect uri into my application settings? I don't see that listed in the tutorial.

 

I entered the client id, then the client secret and I'm on Monterey. Thanks for the help!
