Spotify Mini Player: Control your Spotify library at your fingertips

[sollymay]

Hi I'm having a problem with this. I recently updated to version 3 and actually tried to update my library. I've been waiting for more than 24 hours and the library is still updating. how can I stop the update and redo the library scan?

Hi I'm having a problem with this. I recently updated to version 3 and actually tried to update my library. I've been waiting for more than 24 hours and the library is still updating. how can I stop the update and redo the library scan?

 

Hi, to force stop the update, remove the file "update_library_in_progress" in /Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.vdesabou.spotify.mini.player/update_library_in_progress

 

Then I suggest that you:

 

-delete /Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.vdesabou.spotify.mini.player/library.db

-delete /Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.vdesabou.spotify.mini.player/settings.db

-re-download and install workflow here Download Workflow

-create your library

 

Depending on the number of playlists you're using, it may take time, to give you an idea I have 3100 tracks in my library, it takes about 10 minutes to create the library (but the very first time it takes more time as all the artworks are downloaded)

If you experience same issue with never-ending library creation: 

-then type "spot_mini_debug" command and you should have a spot_mini_debug.tgz file in your Downloads directory. Send it to me.

 

Cheers

Worked like a charm! Thanks!!!! 20 min after doing that, it works flawlessly.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. Hope you enjoy the workflow

[vdesabou]

I've just updated to version 3.1, UPDATE YOUR LIBRARY!!!
 
3.1:

• Moving to spotify API 1.x: no more 200 tracks limitation on playlists

• Added spot_mini_debug command to help troubleshooting

• Improved robustness and error detections

I do not get any JSON-Output. I don't get an error either. Do you have any idea what the problem is? I am stuck at the following screen:

Hi, 

 

Hum, there must be something wrong when doing the export.

 

Can you, once you have clicked the Export as JSON button, open the debug console. In Spotify, type "alt-cmd-J", or go in Development->See inspector

 

And then you should see a console like this:

 

[0x6368]

Cool, I didn't know there is a debug console

 

I debugged it a bit a found out, that snapshots.length (miniplayer.js line 269) equals 8, but snapshots.get(7) (miniplayer.js line 271) is null, so line 288 is never called. Any idea why it is null?

Thanks for debugging this!

 

I think I understand why, I've reproduced by adding a folder at the end of my playlists, see "test" folder:

 

 

Can you confirm it is your case?

I'll provide a fix shortly

Yea, I have got a folder at the end of my playlist. Thank you! Awesome support! :-)

 

BTW: I like your musical taste, Bon Iver is great!

Can you re-download the workflow, I have updated it with a fix.

-Delete the ~/Spotify/spotify-app-miniplayer folder to force the fix to be installed.

-You may have also to restart Spotify to make sure the latest version is used.

 

Let me know if this fixes the problem

Does still not work. Line 306 is false, because array_results.length equals 6 and matchedPlaylists.length equals 7.

mmm, so I guess line 247 is not executed for one your playlists:

 

if(snapshot.length == array_tracks.length)

 

Can you add a console.log like this and see which playlist is causing issue:

 

console.log(snapshot.length,array_tracks);

if(snapshot.length == array_tracks.length)

 

Otherwise, maybe you can share temporarily all your playlists, so that I can subscribe to them and see if I can reproduce?

[vdesabou]

No more need to copy the JSON data, now the install/update library is even more easy !!!
 
 
3.2:

• No more need to copy JSON data! Just click on "Update library"

• Added spot_mini_kill command to kill update library if it is stuck

I added the line

 

console.log(snapshot.length,array_tracks);

 

But it seems that every playlist is added. I get the following output:

I added the line

 

console.log(snapshot.length,array_tracks);

 

But it seems that every playlist is added. I get the following output

 

Do you have a playlist that is empty, with no songs ?

When I create it one, I reproduce your issue

Can you re-download the workflow, I fixed this empty playlist issue (if you confirm you have one).

 

Otherwise, can you give me more info on the missing playlist?

[0x6368]

I already tried version 2.0; I still don't get a message that the library was installed even though I don't have an empty playlist. But I think I know where the problem is.

 

It looks like you iterate iTunes playlists as well. In iTunes I have a playlist with an audio stream (URL: http://mp3stream1.apasf.apa.at:8000/). Maybe you can access the playlist with the URI: spotify:user:@:playlist:54TRqJcX15CifJyeEhLq8G

Hum, I'm not sure to understand. I added your stream into an iTunes Playlist but I'm not sure how it would impact Spotify..

I don't iterate over iTunes playlists. Can you provide more details? Does this stream appear in Spotify ?

Can you show a screenshot of the Spotify console when the problem happens?

 

Thanks

[0x6368]

Okay, I think I actually found the problem now. The iTunes playlists that were listed in the output were in the playlist folder "iTunes". If I delete the empty playlist "FM4" at the end of the folder, I get the JSON-Code. If the playlist is at the end of the folder, I don't get the JSON-Code.

 

Hope this helps! :-)

 

Edit: I get the JSON-Code now, but I still don't get a notification that the library is installed and I still see the "Install Library" entry.

This is my console output:

So did you remove the empty playlist finally? Because I can't reproduce on my side with this:

 

 

 

When you execute "spot_mini" again, do you see a warning message saying that library is in progress?

 

Also, if you can open a terminal and type the two commands:

 

 

 

ps -efx | grep php

 

and

 

netstat -an | grep 17693

 

Also, can you execute "spot_mini_debug" and provide the tgz file that would be generated in your download folder?

 

Thanks for your help

After I executed the two terminal commands, I got the warning message that library is in progress (don't know if it worked before), but it did not end. So I killed it and it seems to work now.

 

Sent you a pm on last.fm (didn't find the button here xD) with the download link for the tgz file :-)

From the debug files you provided, It looks like it is working fine. The library creation was in progress, 103 tracks are processed.

Don't forget that the first time, it downloads every artwork so it can take a while!

 

So if you killed the update library, you can restart it by executing "update library".

 

Then be patient

It works now, thanks a lot! :-)
