Problem

Can't get track to play at all. What am I doing wrong?

Steps

Package installed
Spotify app set up, callback done, global-smudge-remote-mode turned on
Open a playlist
Run smudge-controller-toggle-play

Got the following:

Contacting host: accounts.spotify.com:443
No active device

Local setup

Ubuntu 20.04
Emacs 28.0.50
Spacemacs 0.300

I dunno if this has anything to do with it but it sounds like I need to tell emacs to play through the correct audio output. If so how do I do that?

ykgoon commented 3 years ago

Spotify isn't responding with any device for API /me/player/devices. I wonder if the reason has to do with local callback web service.

When global smudge-remote mode is enabled, is http://localhost:8080/smudge-api-callback expected to be responding on the web browser?

Mine has no response/connection FWIW.

Smudge by itself is unable to play songs, it is merely an interface with the Spotify API. You need to have a client to play songs, like the native Spotify native client or something like spotifyd.

OK that makes sense.
