Issue with invoking assistant when the magic mirror is on Spotifycanvaslyrics
-
@bugsounet hey i am facing a bit trouble with invoking assistant while songs are playing in Spotify and then new module of Spotify canvas lyrics has been installed in my mirror when the song is playing on Spotify with lyrics and when I’m trying to stop it with my assistant but my assistant is not getting invoked to perform any other action and i have installed all the modules as per wiki only so please let me know if there is any change in config while Spotify is playing with lyrics and I’m trying to invoke assistant to search another query or to give another command…
One more thing when i removed this new module Spotify with lyrics and played song on mirror i can able invoke assistant and give another command so i guess something with this new module kindly please do check and please let me know if there is anything that i can help
️️… and by the way great work with new module 
…do keep going and rock it… -
Hi, I know this issue, Canvas video take a lot of resources for displaying. That why I have created
noCanvasin configSo, Can you try with
noCanvasfeature ? -
@bugsounet can you give me exact parameter which one should I update as “noCanvas” in the config
-
There in
EXT-Spotifyconfig -
Yeah done updated and working great thank you so much @bugsounet

Hey guys , i installed Spotifycanvas and it suddenly made the boring
spotify feature to a real karaoke experience lol. Really nice work and i would like to point out that depending on the song the lyrics are loaded at their original language quite nice. I would like to suggest to Bugs a couple of things to improve the functionality of the module. It is an external feature of GA and Spotify yet you cannot stop it with the stop it audio command that supposively should terminate any open EXT- feature. Personally at my mirror i dont use touch screen and trying to build it with audio commands. I would like also to point out that the feature doesnt auto close after a time interval which it should if for example no new song is loaded in x amount of time kill process to return automatically to the main mm screen.
My suggestion is the users should have the ability to set up in the config of this module when spotify plays which of the 2 screens to use . for example if spotify run , run it only with lyrics or if spotify plays run it without canvas.
Second we need an auto close function after an X amount of seconds that the canvas will be idle.
Third we need to have an audio recipe for the users that dont use touch screens.
A recipe that will switch spotify modes from normal to canvas and back. Also a termination of the module command .
Thank you very much for reading friends , Bugs please let me know what you think.
Have a nice evening guys. -
Hey @Angel thanks for the input will sure look in those i guess you didn’t update config of EXT-SPOTIFY in your config file after installing Spotifycanvaslyrics so please do check it and update and i guess you will have smooth process for audio commands . Please do check it and let me know

Yes, works only when player is playing with MagicMirror
My suggestion is the users should have the ability to set up in the config of this module when spotify plays which of the 2 screens to use. for example if spotify run , run it only with lyrics or if spotify plays run it without canvas.
Not possible MagicMirror limitation (only one screen)
Personally at my mirror i dont use touch screen and trying to build it with audio commands
I have to do a recipe for lyrics, all other commands are in wiki
actually:- TelegramBot can control it too
- Gateway too (but not lyrics command, i have to upgrade it)
Second we need an auto close function after an X amount of seconds that the canvas will be idle.
actually, it’s controled automaticaly by the magicmirror “player” and with the Spotify API
I know, i have to do someting better -
Thanks bugs for the Response .
Always an honor to hear an answer from you.
