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.
|
|
|
|
**TODO** Test and document installation on OS X.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing libspotify
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Download and install libspotify 0.0.4 for your OS and CPU architecture from
|
|
https://developer.spotify.com/en/libspotify/.
|
|
|
|
For 64-bit Linux the process is as follows::
|
|
|
|
wget http://developer.spotify.com/download/libspotify/libspotify-0.0.4-linux6-x86_64.tar.gz
|
|
tar zxfv libspotify-0.0.4-linux6-x86_64.tar.gz
|
|
cd libspotify-0.0.4-linux6-x86_64/
|
|
sudo make install prefix=/usr/local
|
|
sudo ldconfig
|
|
|
|
|
|
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/jodal/pyspotify.git
|
|
cd pyspotify/pyspotify/
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting up Mopidy to use libspotify
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Currently :mod:`mopidy.backends.despotify` is the default
|
|
backend. If you want to use :mod:`mopidy.backends.libspotify`
|
|
instead, copy the Spotify application key to ``~/.mopidy/spotify_appkey.key``,
|
|
and add the following to ``~/.mopidy/settings.py``::
|
|
|
|
BACKENDS = (u'mopidy.backends.libspotify.LibspotifyBackend',)
