Add a way to play liked songs #125

Closed SoptikHa2 closed 4 years ago

SoptikHa2 commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to add command to play songs that I liked on Spotify? When I say play liked songs or play favorite songs, it plays other people's random playlists that are named like that.

I've looked through the api documentation and I don't see a way to get the user's liked songs at the moment. I do think you can create a playlist from your liked songs, this playlist should be usable "play the playlist liked songs"

If you find a way to find the user's liked tracks/albums through the API we could add this.

I know it sounds confusing, but "Liked songs" as shown in the Spotify client actually refers to "Saved tracks": https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/library/get-users-saved-tracks/

In that case it should be possible to handle it. :+1:

I've been trying to implement this in https://github.com/TheLastProject/spotify-skill but I keep getting

Removing event mycroft-spotify.forslund:launch_librespot

 23:26:03.097 | INFO     | 20468 | Playback Control Skill |    No matches

And I don't know why this is happening. So unless someone can give me a hint to resolve this I'm afraid I won't be able to implement this myself.

Looks like good progress in your fork.

I don't know your setup so I'll go through the basics, You need to connect and add a username (password isn't necessary unless you're on a Mark-1) on home. You'll need to start a Spotify instance yourself unless you're on a Mark-1 device.

My goto first check is to ask "what spotify devices are available" which will tell you if there's any issues connecting to your Spotify account or player.

Just tested your branch and looks like it works as you intended (at least for me). I'd be happy to accept a PR with this feature!

This should be resolved by #127 (through #131). Closing this issue.
