Current song error: No song
The same thing happens to me and I think it's been since the last update of windows 10
Don't know if it helps, but trying to find out here, got this. The token being used has a 'faketoken' at the end. Any idea?
Hey! This could be a change in spotify API. Let me check this on weekend and I see what can I do.
@emilioastarita must be because Musixmatch and spotify-lyrics also do not seem to work, thought I messed something up haha, thank you :)
same problem... Looks like spotify changed something because https://open.spotify.com/token is returing a token that ends with "faketoken".
Just chiming in to say the same! @emilioastarita if you could use some help just ping me and I'll see what I can do. I'm not super familiar with typescript, but I may be of some use. Just LMK!
Same issue here as well, any updates on a possible fix? Got some experience with typescript so hit me up if you need some help.
Every Open-Source project which deals with new Spotify API struggles with this problem after recent API upgrade.
Solution 1 - upgrade to new WebApi
The official way to do it is to follow guide how it is mentioned under https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization-guide/
- It requires an app registration which would be assigned to some user account
- it could be maintainer/contributor account OR app author account
- Commentary for Open-Source App and Authorization Flows:
-
Implicit grant flowat least does not makes problems withsecret keyand server-side hosting, but requires token refreshing manually by user each time it expires (so logging in to Spotify) - Rest of methods require dealing with
secret key, so server-side hosting (so monies $$) - Another possibility is that each user can be asked to become yourself Spotify Developer and generate its own application to obtain its own
secret key
-
Solution 2 - offline mechanism usage in OS environments to obtain currently played song data
Linux
Under Linux it is possible to get currently played Song via MPRIS based on dbus - e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/33923095.
Shared code above is made for Python2. To make it work under Python3 just add brackets in "print" call invocation.
- NodeJs package to deal with
dbushttps://www.npmjs.com/package/dbus - NodeJs package to deal with
MPRISdirectly https://www.npmjs.com/package/mpris-
MPRISseems to be stable, so this package even might be stated as being done - not requiring constant upgrades.
-
Windows 10
There seems to exist an API called SystemMediaTransportControls or SMTC in C# - is there possibility to integrate it with NodeJs? I do not know - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.media.systemmediatransportcontrolsdisplayupdater
- NodeJS Edge seems to be a solution: https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge
Older Windows
Not sure if any method exist. Maybe reading data from Spotify App title.
Summary
- This solution can make Lyricifer even better app which is not limited to Spotify!
- Seems to be a lot of work to do.
- Another projects can be found via Google which uses
MPRIS: https://www.google.com/search?q=Lyrics%20MPRIS%20site%3Agithub.com- https://github.com/ok100/lyvi
Solution 3
It somehow misuses Spotify Developer example application, so I will not get into it. I will only say that it comes with specific client ID. Here is URL https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-users-currently-playing-track/. I will not comment on that method anymore.
