Issues on Ubuntu Mate 18.04: image_cache_path

[robrecord]

Hi, thanks for making this Very Awesome Work of (album-)Art!

I am having issues setting up on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

First I had to install two python packages:

sudo pip3 install spidev
sudo pip3 install RPi.GPIO

and now I have the following output when I run the program:

PiDi Spotify Running

Listening on FIFO: /tmp/spotify_album_display

Press Ctrl+C to exit

    track = spotify.track(track_id)

    return self._get("tracks/" + trid)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 284, in _get
    return self._internal_call("GET", url, payload, kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 220, in _internal_call
    headers = self._auth_headers()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 211, in _auth_headers
    token = self.auth_manager.get_access_token(as_dict=False)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/spotipy/oauth2.py", line 186, in get_access_token
    token_info = self._request_access_token()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/spotipy/oauth2.py", line 213, in _request_access_token
    error_description=error_payload['error_description'])

Is this something to do with authentication?

Nevermind - I got a fresh ID and secret from https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications/ and it works!

You may need to add the installation of those two python modules into your install script, though, in case other users have this issue.

You should definitely check out this- https://github.com/pimoroni/pidi-spotify/pull/2

Since I think you're working with a version of PiDi Spotify that's already obsolete.

I'm closing this as #2 fixes all my issues. Thank you!
