The Device selection button doesn't work

[albaayna]

How do I make this work? All the other buttons, pause, next, random... work except the one to choose a device. Is there a way to automatically play the music on the raspberry or choose the device without having to use my phone? I can't find MMM-Modal for the device popup selection either. I already have raspotify and everything works well when I select the raspberry device on my phone.

Have a look at the default device configuration:

defaultDevice: null, // optional - if you want the "SPOTIFY_PLAY" notification to also work from "idle" status, you have to define your default device here (by name)

MMM-Modalis another plugin which you need to install separately.

I am having trouble getting any of the buttons, pause, next, random to work.

Could you explain the process to enable?

Also is it possible to have previous, next, random, to be used while the module is on the bottom bar?

Possible configuration options are documented in the readme: https://github.com/skuethe/MMM-Spotify#detail--default

... to be used while the module is on the bottom bar

Sorry, the "miniBar" style is not supported any more. Also noted in the README: https://github.com/skuethe/MMM-Spotify/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L274

Thank you for the reply. I’m curious how to, for example implement this.sendNotification("SPOTIFY_PAUSE")

Into the module to enable a pause feature. Is this being added to the config file, or elsewhere? I apologize for the noob question

Notifications are an internal method of MM² to communicate between different modules. See documentation for more details: https://docs.magicmirror.builders/development/notifications.html

In case of this module, the notifications enable you to control MMM-Spotify from OTHER modules. An example:

1. configure third-party module to send notifications on specific triggers
2. execute trigger f.e. for "SPOTIFY_PAUSE"
3. notification is send
4. MMM-Spotify fetches notification and pauses the playback

For the first step, you would need to look around for possible third-party modules which can provide that. I can remember f.e. that there is / was a module to control your MM from your mobile device. https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules
