EXT-Raspotify Error 404 "No active device found"

kmallingham

I got MM-GoogleAssistant running smoothly and am running into a little hiccup with the EXT-Raspotify plugin.

I downloaded both EXT-Raspotify as well as EXT-Spotify, got my Client ID and Client Secret ID, but when I try to play a song on Spotify, it gets stuck in a loop of trying to find a device, saying there’s no device to be found, then tries again.

How can I set my mirror as an Active Device for Spotify?

@kmallingham hey is your issue resolved?

This “error” means :

Raspotify not installed
email and/or password incorrect in config
You don’t use an spotify Premium account
npm run setup have not used after create your config

mroyusa

you need one or the other not both.

Hi guys,

I also have this same problem:

error: {
status: 404,
message: ‘Player command failed: No active device found’,
reason: ‘NO_ACTIVE_DEVICE’
}

I tried raspotify, EXT-librespot. When I start spotify a song from my phone to magicmirror, everything works fine, it plays and album cover is displayed, However, When I call google assistant and say “play madonna on spotify” it tries to connect and failse with above error. username/password with premium account is available. I tried npm run setup command also…

I also tried different sound devices like:

iec958:CARD=Device,DEV=0
hdmi:CARD=vc4hdmi1,DEV=0
hw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0

not worked.

Regards

Hi,

username/password with premium account is available.

in your config, it’s email used for spotify not username

Note: You need EXT-Raspotify or EXT-Librespot not both

If you try EXT-Librespot don’t forget to uninstall EXT-Raspotify with npm run remove , otherwise you will have a conflict

Notes:

to verify email and password field just connect to Spotify website with it
verify if llaunched:
