libspotify installation
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
As an alternative to the despotify backend, we are working on a
|
|
`libspotify <http://developer.spotify.com/en/libspotify/overview/>`_ backend.
|
|
To use the libspotify backend you must install libspotify and
|
|
`pyspotify <http://github.com/winjer/pyspotify>`_.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
This backend requires a Spotify premium account, and it requires you to get
|
|
an application key from Spotify before use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing libspotify
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
As libspotify's installation script at the moment is somewhat broken (see this
|
|
`GetSatisfaction thread <http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/libspotify_please_fix_the_installation_script>`_
|
|
for details), it is easiest to use the libspotify files bundled with pyspotify.
|
|
The files bundled with pyspotify are for 64-bit, so if you run a 32-bit OS, you
|
|
must get libspotify from https://developer.spotify.com/en/libspotify/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing pyspotify
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Install pyspotify's dependencies. At Debian/Ubuntu systems::
|
|
|
|
sudo aptitude install python-alsaaudio
|
|
|
|
Check out the pyspotify code, and install it::
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/winjer/pyspotify.git
|
|
cd pyspotify
|
|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib
|
|
sudo python setup.py develop
|
|
|
|
Apply for an application key at
|
|
https://developer.spotify.com/en/libspotify/application-key, download the
|
|
binary version, and place the file at ``pyspotify/spotify_appkey.key``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing the installation
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Test your libspotify setup::
|
|
|
|
examples/example1.py -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Until Spotify fixes their installation script, you'll have to set
|
|
``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` every time you are going to use libspotify (in other
|
|
words before starting Mopidy).
