Hi, which platform is this on?
I'm seeing this on rpi3+ raspbian buster, mycroft git clone installation method
I'm also experiencing this problem on the pi 4, I'll ask to play a song and it will start playing on another spotify device instead of the mycroft.
The skill doesn't handle playback, on the mark-1 the skill will launch a player. on Picroft this is not handled automatically.
Is raspotify installed and setup with username, password set? Is the name set to the same name as the mycroft device?
Thanks for the quick response, I didn't realise playback wasn't handled by this skill. Just after posting my first comment I installed raspotify and have since got it working. Thanks again
Great, I'm looking at using the old libspotify to handle playback in the skill but that's it's own can of worms.
I should add a Picroft entry in the readme to make this clear. putting it on my Todo
Oh I'm so sorry! I forgot I opened this issue, I need to pay more attention to this stuff. But yeah, I'm running picroft on raspi 3b+. I'll try double checking the username and password stuff and see if I can work it out.
One question I had was, should the NAME be the name of the physical raspi or the name I chose on the mycroft website? I just assumed it was the latter.
I knew I did something dumb! I forgot to uncomment the parts of the configuration file that I needed. Seems to be working fine now! Sorry for what was basically a non-issue
Glad you figured it out!
Similarly to this question: https://github.com/forslund/spotify-skill/issues/29 I could not get mycroft to play anything by itself, even with raspotify installed. It just keeps telling me there are no spotify devices available. I'm wondering if I missed a step between installing raspotify and playing it through mycroft.
Thanks for any help!
