SMART MIRROR | Spotify Setup

[@AG-wl6yh]

After long time 😄😄.... please keep uploading videos about magic mirror...loved it ❤️

[@tacocat1705]

I was able to follow along until around 3:23. I successfully finished step 2 and also copied the code and moved the folder as well but it isnt showing when I reboot

[@tacocat1705]

@kevin russel yes. When i entered the code git clone etc, I misspelled it and accidentally capatilized a letter. Im new to raspberry but I figured the code is to create a folder and download the files. Because the folder is misspelled, the config file was correct and it doesnt matches. After i fixed this, the spotify logo comes up but doesnt show playing. Rebooting should work

[@danielacosta1183]

NO! I want the album cover how do I adjust it to the right size so it looks cool

[@Mirko____]

Go to MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify/css/styles.css Search for the module .NPOS_albumCover and edit the width however you like

[@lazerblazer3629]

Also, for anyone looking to get rid of the spotify logo when nothing is playing: Navigate to the same styles.css file, search for the module .NPOS_nothingIsPlayingImage and change the opacity to 0.

[@Mase.0]

.NPOS_albumCover { width: 27.5%; position: absolute; right: 0; puts the album cover over to the top right of the spotify module, 27.5% makes it not clip over anything (if a song has a long name it will clip under the album cover though)

[@misterolix7849]

@@lazerblazer3629 Love you man,

[@tristanhamilton4639]

Your videos are great. Really makes me want to mess around with a raspberry pi for the first time. Keep up the good work

[@maltondurai9899]

Pls make a video on how to include KZbin and uber as well . And how to control this apps via voice assistant

[@jakobbosch438]

Hey i did every Step you did exact the Same Way but it Just Shows a loading Symbol not the Song that is playing can you Tell me what to do thanks 😊

[@JCrisOlme2]

Dude I love all the stuff you do in your channel. Really useful!

[@LordDarkone]

You do great work. You could custom build and sell these. Interested?

[@NigelPond]

How did you link Spotify to Alexa (or visa versa)? I've tried setting up the MagicMirror as a device in the Android Alexa app... It says the device is offline but apparently (according to Google) that's just the way it is. When I try to get Alexa to play music it says: "Sorry, music and playback are not supported on this device." Any ideas? Thanks.

[@Azam4624]

Please make a video to sync okay google in raspberry pi instead of alexa

[@Badhon1993]

i guess it is the same thing

[@rajanjain4613]

@J Jonah no question is dumb

[@pinkwakabeagle]

Not everyone is techy. I wouldn't know how to do any of this I watched the video and felt he was talking alien. Everyone is gifted in different areas but we all have the capacity to understand something new. Hense the question.

[@bmhoops1]

How do you remotely control the monitor from ur computer? Just getting started with this stuff.

[@lyingunderoath7147]

Hey Greg how do we get this working with the Google Home Install is it basically the same exact steps

[@stewiegriffin7410]

Could you make a video about how to connect alexa to spotify and the mirror

[@arifar3245]

anyone can answer this ?

[@truthplease98]

i have a bose soundtouch. How can I play songs from the smart mirror on the sound touch ?

[@TutorialMax9812]

Hey, I really enjoy your videos! Is it necessary to connect the whole thing to Alexa? Or will it always show the songs which I played on Spotify earlier on my phone, so that I just can start the tracks on it?

[@ShubhamYadav-sx9cp]

Watching this on my smart mirror

[@Youssefmahmoed]

How you did this ? I'm bulldog one for me but I'm facing some problems

[@SamNolan1]

Hey Can we do this with google play music? if so how do you??

[@booytoyy69]

If I have the Google voice kit I can still set it up all like you right ?

[@Trajan114]

Wow this guy is going places.

[@akhilraj.2291]

Hi there . I've pasted the code into config file . I have used google API for my smart mirror. But when I ask it to play spotify it does not work.

[@robertclithero1486]

I'm in the middle of finishing up. I have no clue how he installed alexa to the raspberry pi. Any idea how he did that?

[@markrowe738]

Excellent and well narrated. Followed this and works perfectly. Thank you

[@matt04k]

do you think there is a method to make the Serie A football ranking appear on the screen?

[@dexterding4780]

can you do a tutorial on how to install Alexa on the MM? PLs

[@sholombrummel1637]

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

[@ramisaban12]

Do you plan on releasing an integration with Alexa tutorial?

[@anthonybarefoot6744]

So do I still need to do this if already installed the Alexa info I get from.the Amazon website?

[@windycityoutdoors5273]

Wait, so the magic mirror (e.g., mmm-awesome-alexa) doesn’t really play Spotify? The MM will show the current song but You still need a separate dedicated echo to play Spotify?

[@Adrian.kihmoy]

True, it only shows what song is played on another unit, it doesnt play anything on its own.

[@cicloptopupo1278]

I can't install this module anymore :/ .. it looks like github changed some stuff

[@jamiedash3740]

You using the dot or the voice command on the pi? If you are using the dot, do you have any documentation on how you integrated this? Or another video?

[@bgustinjr]

Is that dot connected to the Mirror in some way or does it just happen to be near it physically? It looks like the mm is just displaying what the spotify acct is playing to what device. Seems more novel than functional.

[@enehzeta]

Also works with Google Home mini or just Amazon Alexa?

[@Zerous_12]

Beautiful Project, Is there any list of components of this work?

[@vinayakagarwal924]

How to get both Alexa and the google assistant on the magic mirror? I know we cannot get the google home features with the magic mirror because it is only the API so can we get the okay google feature and can see the text for the conversation. Please tell us if there is a method for that. Thank you.

[@paarthmittal4557]

Hi Everything is working fine except there is no audio output please help if you can Thanks.

[@bcotter]

Great build, I love the frame!

[@sabasf111]

can this work with apple music? if so, could you please do a video on it?

[@Schecter1989]

God damn that's clean... Could you do a video showing how to mount the whole thing and hide the wires??

[@adityamixup4367]

How do I stop the progress bar size changing every time it goes to the next song? The showCoverArt is false

[@asopok]

is the Alexa from an Alexa speaker or integrated into the mirror

[@jacobphillips1527]

In a previous video it appeared the voice activation was through the mirror, here you can see the echo dot in the counter. Can you confirm this is just for displaying your current songs? That’s how I’ve had it set up. Thanks again for your videos. They’re great. I have a pretty developed mirror in large part because of your videos showing it’s possible for regular people.

[@Grensom]

Yeah, the echo dot needs to handle the Spotify commands

[@jacobphillips1527]

Grensom thanks for responding

[@eskildloen3771]

is there a way to make the spotify app pop up? so i can search for songs and choose playlists and such? same with an internet browser so i could watch youtube videos? I was thinking of maybe installing android on it and using it the same way as a tablet, but i dont know if thats a good idea.

[@SylvanSorcerer]

Is there a need to waterproof the components if you are putting the mirror in the bathroom? Will there be issues with steam and what not?

[@tabemash0594]

I would think that since it is condensed steam there are a lot less ions to conduct electricity. Maybe also add a fan to remove trapped steam and turn on the bathroom fan that does the same thing to be safe. In the end though, water proofing the system won’t hurt if you are capable of it

[@tabemash0594]

Yeah read up some more on condensing steam from boiling water. It’s not a method used often by big distilling companies but it is still a distilling process.

[@bloodyenigma666]

Is there a way to connect it to iTunes?? Or Siri on a specific phone?

[@trentonadams6117]

As someone with no raspberry pi experience at all, I really want to build this! I’ve checked out your other videos and I’m still a little lost. Maybe a slower paced video? Either way, thanks for the direction.

[@shruthis4371]

Do we need echo to do this....Or we can use a normal speaker🤔🤔?

[@Grensom]

shruthi kookie You don't need an Alexa, you can play Spotify from any device anywhere and it will show up on this Module

[@shruthis4371]

@@Grensom thank u for replying 😊

Can you do this with a google home? If you don’t have a echo

could u play music from your iphone on the spotify app and display it on the mirror?

hi my friend! why i config then error not using "ok google" but play spotify on my phone then screen on but mute :( help me pls!

[@MrSyn7]

It would be interesting to see text messages notification added to it. Be very useful for people who spend a lot of time looking at the mirror 😄

[@janglesvr6]

Hey I see where someone else asked about the tutorial on adding Alexa to your smart mirror, I have a similar question. Did you use 2 separate raspberry pi’s on your mirror with Alexa integrated? In other words did you have one pi running AlexaPi and a second pi running magic mirror. If so were they connected in any way or 2 completely stand alone units housed in the same mirror?

[@CharloSeychell]

It seemed very straightforward. However, although I followed the instructions step by step, the mirror's Google Assistant replies with "Hey, you need to enter your Spotify credentials in the config file first"". When I use the Google Assistant on my mobile, it works and shows the cover image on my mirror. What am I doing wrong?

[@mattjames8129]

Hey! Great Video! I have a question. I cannot get the music to play on my Magic Mirror, and I don't see an option to do that from my Spotify app. I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 connected via HDMI with a Bluetooth dongle that connects to my iPhone right away. I can see the song playing on my Magic Mirror but the audio playback is on my iPhone. Any ideas?!!!

[@abhyudyabhatnagar1763]

Thanks for the video but I still cannot play music. Can you tell us how to configure it with alexa

[@Youssefmahmoed]

You are using Alexa . How you installed it ? And if i want to use google assistant how can i do it ?

[@JRDN3004]

Possible to do this but with Apple Music?

[@jonjohnson102]

Pfft, use spodify

[@JRDN3004]

Jon Johnson use spellcheck?

[@shimpuden1993]

Do you will be able to do it with apple music?

[@Sofianeh94]

Do you use a built-in Alexa (with a microphone plugged into your raspberry) or you are actually using the Alex device? I try to start a song by using the MMM-Google-Assistant module but it doesn't seems possible to do ..

[@ismailatalay4711]

i agree with you it doesnt work anyway i think he used alexa kit.

[@instinct9672]

This is amazing thank you. This is just me being picky but does anyone know if it possible to set the cover art to a different position than the track information on the magic mirror screen. Maybe with 2 modules, 1 with the artwork hidden and one not? The reason i ask is that i have my mirror in portrait mode and i like to have the track bar for the current playing song across the bottom_bar section of the screen but the cover art then scratches to over most of the mirror. if i set the now playing module to bottom_left the cover art is then a nice size but the track bar is shortened. Its not a big thing im just curious :)

[@LiquidBeaverStudios]

Lol you set off my Alexa 😂 good video bro

[@dripmass]

Dude your webbsite is very broken like I want to make the smart mirror but im just stuck at the smart mirror page! Can you fix it or something?

how did you connect with the mirror? with a wire? through the wifi? what programe did you use? can I do this with a mac?

[@TheSplitts]

Screen only showing the Spotify Emblem and loading but nothing happening. Any solution? Thanks in advance.

[@kieyamcclung]

How were you able to edit the mirror from your own computer instead of using the raspberry everytime?

[@WayneRigley]

well, Probably the easiest video i have followed to date ! Thank you ! its running perfect, the cool thing is if i play from my pixel phone it shows that on the bottom and if i play it from a google home mini it then shows what GHM im playing from ! nice ! the only thing im not liking is if im away from home ( work ) and playing on spotify it still shows on the screen.. wonder if there is a way to disable if not on the same LAN. 1 Request as your background is very techinal, we have a NEST smoke/carbon dector.. is there a way to show the currect status of it.. ( everything is ok ) kind of message, this way i dont have to keep checking the NEST APP. anyway, great videos and im a follower ! next project is to see if i can get Google Assistant running on top of an active MM or does it have to be loaded frst ! only reason i have countless hours invested in the MM with regards to our home garbage and recycle and leaf pickup dates and a few other things... if your intrested shoot me a line.

[@Grensom]

It looks like someone developed a module that uses your Nest, see here: github.com/mochman/MMM-Nest

[@Eugene.Dingleberry]

i need to buy one one of these

[@Mikein203]

@Wayne did you ever find a solution w/ your spotify issue and Google Home? I'm quite interested if you found a way to resolve what's happening in your situation. Thanks in advance.

also can you know if you can do this with soundcloud?

same I tried to remove the png img in the MMM folder but that just made a box with the missing img icon in the top left of it where the spotify logo would be. If anyone knows how he got it to go away without the spotify logo I'd love to know

[@drawician3686]

Maybe try replacing the Spotify logo with a completely black/blank image? I’m not sure if it will work just an idea.

[@lazerblazer3629]

Navigate to /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify/css/styles.css, search for the module .NPOS_nothingIsPlayingImage and change the opacity to 0.

So I pick a song from my pc/mobile, it starts playing from the pc/mobile, but I can't listen trough my mirror, there is no possibility to listen from it the mirror itself. How can I fix this ?

I remain attentive to your kind response. Happy Holidays!!. Thank you.
