Spotify Controller for SailfishOS. Documentation: https://sailfish-spotify.github.io/hutspot.
License: MIT License
Hutspot is a Spotify 'controller' for Sailfish OS. You can browse/search albums, artists, playlists and tracks. Playing the music is done on an 'connect' device. It requires a premium Spotify account.
Documentation can be found at sailfish-spotify.github.io/hutspot
Spotify web-api search supports the '' wildcard. It does not seem to search for substrings so if for example you search for 'Gubai' you will not find 'Gubaidulina'. When searching for 'Gubai' you will find her.
Hutspot will append a '*' to the search string if not yet present to make searching easier but what if you want to search for a specific string? Then you don't want the wildcard to be added. Should hutspot never append a wildcard or somehow have it configurable?
Currently the player page also contains the queue as a list beneath the controls. Can/should they be seperated or combined otherwise?
I can't see anything useful in logs, but it's easy to reproduce.
Installed hotspot together with librespot. Trying to set device to the phone using librespot, however it is greyed out.usibg the authorization blob does nothing. So I can play on a speaker setup within spotify through hutspot without problems, but cannot play on the phone itself (sony xa2). If however I have spotify running on the phone then all of a sudden I can play on the phone through hutspot as it uses spotify as the player. What am I doibg wrong? (spotify logon ib through facebook). Thanks!
Currently the MyStuff page contains five sets: saved albums, saved tracks, playlists, followed artists and recently played tracks. Should it remain this way, should the UI be changed or should they be on different pages?
When I try to play a track, I get "Play failed:404:Device not found".
Other suggestions?
Thank you
It is not possible to remove a track from a playlist. This is due to the Spotify web-api requiering a body for a DELETE request. QML on SailfishOS does not seem o support this (the body is not sent).
See https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/playlists/remove-tracks-playlist/
Spotify's web-api only lists known devices. Using zeroconf and http we could discover all local Spotify players and in theory make them register themselves (addUser) by capturing an autherization blob from an official Spotify application. Librespot and Spotcontrol do stuff like that.
See https://github.com/wdehoog/hutspot/tree/discovery for a some on this.
I have changed the listview in the genremoodpage into a gridview. This has two advantages:
property int limit: app.searchLimit.value into property int limit: 45
When enabling the librespot service by changing the [Install] lines in the unit file and systemctl --user enable librespot it is supposed to start at boot. However this does not happen.
It keeps complaining with ENODEV (No such device) about the network sockets.
After logging in systemctl --user start librespot works though.
Although one of the basic forms of the Jolla Icon set is a circle, I find the standard circle icon rather boring. Made myself a nice alternative Sailfish Spotify icon (no gradient of whatever, just a plain simple icon). (You would say I could spend my time better ;-)
Hi, I wanted to know it it is possible to port this app to the PinePhone's aarch64-architecture via the SailfishOS Application SDK.
Changing the navigation menu type from the settings to anything else than the default one results in losing access to the settings page. Docked Panel with all icons for instance just loses all its icons and the only way to recover is to reset it directly using dconf write /hutspot/navigation_menu_type 3
Might be broken somewhere else as well, it's really easy to see when browsing Saved Albums for example.
All data in the list is currently in alphabetical order, but what we get from Spotify actually isn't returned in that order. When you scroll past certain threshold, next page is loaded from the API, but since the data is displayed in alphabetical order, new data will be added, for example, under "A" section, making scrolling look/act broken.
When going to menu and opening Genre & Mood the app no longer is responsive and the screen stays empty.
Observerd behavior: when the lists have no items, a small label appears at the bottom of the screen that says: "nothing found". The viewplaceholder is designed for this purpose:
ViewPlaceholder {
enabled: view.count == 0
text: "No items yet"
hintText: "Pull down to add items"
}
It is shown at the middle of the page (and it has the non-interactive coloring, because it is not clickable).
When you lose internet connection, for example while riding an elevator, librespot won't show up on devices list until it's restarted. App should at least detect that and restart it when needed.
Despite entering the correct credentials, HutSpot complains about the authentication having failed. Restartung the app reroutes me from the simple credential entering dialog to a website, where I should follow a captcha process. This doesn't work, since it states, that my browser is not actual and therefore the authentication process could not be completed.
So I am stuck at that point, not having any option to avoid that captcha. Long speech, short conclusion: At the moment, this app unfortunately is unusable.
The dark ambience works nicely with Hutspot, but if a light ambience is used, the Now Playing screen isn't readable. I tried looking in to the qml, but couldn't find a clear indication on where the theme is defined (total noob here), I honestly don't know if this is something that is declared for each qml file separately or if it't inherited from somewhere.
Here's some screenshots of the Now Playing screen with light ambience:

Hallo!
At the login page the login button doesn't work...seems to be a html/JavaScript problem...
Cheers Florian
First of all I want to thank you for this project... Hutspot is awesome! I've been waiting for this for a long time (ever since Cutespot stopped being updated and ever before that actually...)!
This is not an issue but rather a question or feature suggestion/enhancement: Is there any way to download songs or playlists? I haven't found that option in the app nor any info on this in the documentation, and this is the only feature I'm missing from Hutspot right now.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
SFOS: 4.4.0.58
device: XA2
After update to SFOS 4.4.0.58 I had to login to hutspot again. This was not possible due to a white login page and due to a not working login over the standard browser of SF (see attached screenshot). I really hope that there is a workaround possible or an "easy" fix for you because I´m a huge fan of hutspot and would really miss it on my device. Thanks for your great work for SF. Greetings from Austria, broncheolus.
edit: I managed to reregister when starting hutspot from commandline (login page shows). After that hutspot works from commandline but still not from icon. I will investigate further.
edit: all the config folders seem to be empty (in .config and .local/share)
edit: Oh, is it the thing with sailjail disable and the .desktop file? One has to edit it, I think. But not knowing how, so next step to be solved. Just a little help would be appreciated. Thx.
When I play a track, the track plays, but there is no sound to hear
System: SailfishOS 3.0.1.14
App-version: sailfish_hutspot_20190110-1.11.1.jolla
In future, make Hutspot not only a controller, but also a standalone player on the device it is running at.
That would make the app more useful and complete and eventually makes it a replacement for other not native SailfishOS apps.
First, I'd like to say that this project looks really promising. I'd love to see a good Spotify client on SFOS (especially when that damn Android app takes like 4 minutes to load, WHY).
As I understand, interface design is not something you focused on and, to be honest, it's not that good. The most confusing bit is that menu that appears after tapping on an icon next to "Playing", that took me some time to find.
Anyway, I'd love to help. Right now I have some issues with setting up your app under my SDK, so I focused on making mockups in QML and discussion.
This one is pretty straight-forward, I'm not 100% sure on that "Spotify" row, but I want something that clearly indicates that this is a Spotify client, not some other app.
Clearly inspired by Spotify's "Now Playing" page, with a Sailfish twist. (Only) on this page, cover art will replace your current ambiance background. I suppose this is a bit against guidelines, but it just feels so cool IMHO. I don't know where to place them yet. Also, this won't be the main view anymore, it'll be attached to the browse view (which I haven't designed yet) so it's always accessible with a swipe. Tapping on "Listening to Jolla C" will bring up device selection. I couldn't find any speaker-like small icon in Sailfish Icon Reference so I put a play triangle there (this will be changed obviously).
If you're interested, I can work further on that and integrate it into your current code (since I already use QML for these mockups, this shouldn't be too hard).

Recommendations are based on seeds. The web-api allows to specify up to five seed items out of genres, artists or tracks. Currently hutspot only provides Genres. Since they come from a list this was straightforward to implement. How could selecting artists or tracks as seeds be implemented?
See for more: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/browse/get-recommendations/
One can also add 'Tuneable Track attributes'. Should this even be supported?
OS complains it cannot install the rpm.

When using Librespot locally, user might expect their music to be paused after headphones get unplugged. This is not currently the case.
Whatever you try to play the last played track will restart.
Unfortunately Spotify changed something on their side and now Librespot does not work anymore. See
librespot-org/librespot#288
Hi, again
This is actually not an issue, but a suggestion - I just didn't know, where to open it...
I like the hutspot-app on my Jolla 1 very much, but I miss it on my Jolla tablet. Is there a chance, that you will make a port for the tablet, too?
Thank you for your excellent work :-)

I was wonder what was the reason for choosing Librespot, did you look at other options like spotifyd.
personally I don't care one way or another as long as there is an working native client for SailfishOS, I'm just curious
To get a more sailfish like loading of the pages, I suggest to remove the pageStack.clear from the harbour-hutspot.qml then the page will swipe in from the right.
Recently played list shows the oldest items first and newest last. This is a small but relevant little detail as it's more intuitive to see what you've most recently listened to.
Currently hutspot has two kind of menus:
Which one shall hutspot use? How will it be shown? Are there any other ways a menu could be shown ?
Dear all,
After playing a song using Librespot, playing stops (404 error). Then I have to stop and restart Librespot for the next song. (latest versions).
Haven't success to start and authorize Librespot manually yet.
By the way: if in the settings automatically start/stop at launch/stop of Hutspot is enabled, I have to restart Librespot manually for success.
