Spotify reign

[sauldraws]

I know - we have a bunch of spotify workflows, my studio has a dedicated mac mini that is running 'Reign' allowing control via a web browser on the same network (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reign-for-spotify/id553794498?mt=12)

 

it's free, somewhat ugly to look at, but it works really really well - I'd love to be able to control it via Alfred - it's a very simple from a browser - or a php script, but I can't get alfred to hit the end points without opening a browser (which isn't what I want)

 

The endpoints are quite simple

 

http://mini.local:9999/next

http://mini.local:9999/previous

http://mini.local:9999/play

http://mini.local:9999/pause

 

any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you getting the script to open those urls? It would probably work better at the command line to use curl and hit those. Python and several other languages have ways to accomplish this as well

Haven't been able to get it to work within alfred - I was able to do shell script ... via applescript but it only worked via applescript editor,

Hi Saul, I'm the guy that made Reign and it's great to hear it works well in your studio. I've actually been dying to make this myself and just spent this Saturday creating the workflow. You can get it here: https://github.com/DangerCove/reign-alfred2-workflow.

 

It's a work in progress, but all major features work and it will definitely help you get away from the (ugly) web interface .

 

Make sure you follow the Installation guide. It'll help you setup the hostname and port correctly. I'm planning to make that step redundant, but that'll require some work on the app as well.

 

Hope this does what you (and hopefully a few others) were after!
