Spotify support for Phoniebox (this guide is for all who want to manually update to +Spotify Edition)
MUST READ
If you want to integrate Spotify:
- You must have a Spotify Premium subscription. Phoniebox will not work with Spotify Free, just Spotify Premium.
- You need a non-Facebook Spotify username and password.
- If you created your account through Facebook you'll need to create a "device password" to be able to use Phoniebox. Go to http://www.spotify.com/account/set-device-password/, login with your Facebook account, and follow the instructions. However, sometimes that process can fail for users with Facebook logins, in which case you can create an app-specific password on Facebook by going to facebook.com > Settings > Security > App passwords > Generate app passwords, and generate one to use with Phoniebox.
- MP3 (local music) handling has completely changed for the +Spotify Edition. The tracks need to be indexed by Mopidy & Mopidy-Spotify (this is the part of Phoniebox, which gives you spotify support) and the created M3U files do have another structure than normal M3U files.
- You have to scan you library once (if you hadn't yet) and everytime you upload new local tracks to your Phoniebox.
- You can scan local files under "Folders & Files" (Top Navigation).
- For the future we try to integrate an automation for that.
Testers needed for the Spotify integration Please read more in this thread.
If you open an issue on github, please provide as much informations as you can. What is you Edition (Classic or +Spotify)? Which version so you have? What is the problem and what did you try to solve this? And so on..
** END of MUST READ :) **
You best start will be to start a FRESH INSTALLATION, please read more here.
The one-line-install should detect an existing installation and ask you if you want to keep the content. That should work, no guarantee :) a backup won't hurt anyone.
The below documentation might be out of date. The one-line-install script will be more up to date. But the below still exists, because it has more content about how the integration works - and that might help you to understand a problem if and when it occurs. Please add, edit and comment to this document while testing the code.
- Install Buster on SD Card.
- Remove card and insert again.
Setting up the Phoniebox via a SSH connection saves the need for a monitor and a mouse. The following worked on Raspian Buster.
- Flash your SD card with the Raspian image
- Eject the card and insert it again. This should get the boot partition mounted.
- In the boot partition, create a new empty file called ssh. This will enable the SSH server later.
- Create another file in the same place called wpa_supplicant.conf. Set the file content according to the following example:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
network={
ssid="YOUR_NETWORK_NAME"
psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Note: This works for WPA-secured wifi networks, which should be the vast majority.
- Save the file
- Unmount and eject the card, insert it into the Raspy, boot.
- Find out the IP address of the raspberry. Most Wifi routers have a user interface that lists all devices in the network with the IP address they got assigned.
- Connect via ssh with username pi and password raspberry.
- Jump back to the top of this document to walk through the other steps of the installation.
cat /proc/asound/modules
You get:
0 snd_bcm2835
1 snd_usb_audio
Change sort order:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
If file is empty, add the following lines:
options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_bcm2835 index=1
options snd slots=snd-usb-audio,snd-bcm2835
After reboot you get:
cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_usb_audio
1 snd_bcm2835
sudo passwd root
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Search for PermitRootLogin and change
#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
to
PermitRootLogin yes
Pin major version of Mopidy to 3
echo -e "Package: mopidy\nPin: version 3.*\nPin-Priority: 1001" | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mopidy
Add the archive’s GPG key:
wget -q -O - https://apt.mopidy.com/mopidy.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Add the APT repo to your package sources:
sudo wget -q -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mopidy.list https://apt.mopidy.com/buster.list
Install Mopidy and all dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get --yes --allow-downgrades --allow-remove-essential --allow-change-held-packages install mopidy mopidy-mpd mopidy-local mopidy-spotify
Finally, you need to set a couple of config values, and then you’re ready to run Mopidy. Alternatively you may want to have Mopidy run as a system service, automatically starting at boot.
To install one of the listed packages, e.g. mopidy-spotify, simply run the following:
sudo apt-get --yes --allow-downgrades --allow-remove-essential --allow-change-held-packages install libspotify12 python3-cffi python3-ply python3-pycparser python3-spotify
On modern systems using systemd you can enable the Mopidy service by running:
sudo systemctl enable mopidy
This will make Mopidy start when the system boots.
sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-Iris
Set the rights
sudo nano /etc/sudoers
Add this line to the end
mopidy ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy_iris/system.sh
You have to reboot now.
sudo reboot
sudo nano /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
This file should look like this (you first have to get client-id and client-secret here: https://www.mopidy.com/authenticate/ ) This must be done manually. Put your username, password, client_id, client_secret into the spotify section. The audio section has to be tested, because i don't know if "output = alsasink" works for everyone. "mixer_volume" is the start volume of phoniebox! attention: if you leave this blank, volume will be 100% after reboot!!

If you don't disable MPD here, mopidy will not run!!!
sudo systemctl disable mpd
If you have problems with UTF-8 and ANSI, try to start raspi-config and change localisation to UTF-8. I don't know if it works, for me it does after several tries.
When you right-click an album, a track or a playlist in MOPIDY IRIS or Spotify Client (share button), you get a Spotify URI. This Spotify URI must be used when registering a card with the following syntax:
Tracks: spotify:track:######################
Albums: spotify:album:######################
Playlists: spotify:user:username:playlist:######################
(e.g. spotify:user:spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DWUVpAXiEPK8P or
spotify:user:tomorrowlandofficial:playlist:0yS25E7g9xQZ1Dst5SqUZn)
Podcast: spotify:show:###################### (This has not been tested yet!)
The information will be stored in a spotify.txt in an audiofolder.
