Pain

When I ask google assistant to play music with spotube, it doesn't understand what I want.

Suggested solution

Add the appropriate integrations necessary for google home to recognize spotube as a music service provider.

I wonder if it's possible.

I wonder if it's possible.

According to the documentation available on https://developers.google.com/assistant/app, this should indeed be possible. Please see the updated ticket for more details on useful resources.

Should be 100% possible as the application is available in the Google playstore.

Hi,

would it imply to include non-free dependencies ? If yes then it would trigger a red flag from F-Droid.

The app already depends on Spotify, which is non-free:

There isn't really an added dependency other than an additional optional feature making use of the assistant if it is already enabled on the device, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Hello @ThrosturX

well it's another case, it's because Spotube relies on Spotify API to access account login and music database, that's why F-Droid flags it with an anti-feature warning. Using API doesn't mean including closed-source code.

I asked this question because i really don't know and i'm interested to get this answer.
