examples/play.py does nothing

[erF3]

I try running the examples/play.py but it produces no output either in the terminal or from my speakers.

I have a premium account, and have tested that spotify-websocket-api works by getting several albums' metadata.

clients/respotify doesn't seem to work: $ python respotify.py myusernae Please enter your Spotify password Traceback (most recent call last): File "respotify.py", line 283, in client.connect(host="localhost", port="6600") File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/mpd.py", line 491, in connect self._sock = self._connect_tcp(host, port) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/mpd.py", line 464, in _connect_tcp raise err socket.error: [Errno 61] Connection refused

I've tried adding 'print' statements to different functions within examples/play.py to see which blocks of code are running, but the only ones that show up are in the final if...else codeblock in play.py . There aren't even any error messages that show up, it just silently quits.

I've also tried changing the command play.py runs when it executes track_uri_callback() to something that I know works from the command line (with a known local file), but this still has no effect. Any ideas whats going on? Is this project out of date with the official spotify api? Or maybe I have too vague an understanding of what callbacks are?

A simple working example of retrieving a track's mp3 url would be extremely helpful.

is mpd running and accepting connections? At a guess I'd say that mpc can't connect.

Try running mpc from the command line. This should show if you can connect or not.
