client identified not found

[chrfrancis]

Hello, I am trying to configure everything and I am running into this error..

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ./player -uri spotify:album:3oyu7chRauu88JYPYfFB55
2020/07/04 15:24:01 client identified by spotifyd not found

Here is my yaml contents with the username and pw scrubbed.

pi@raspberrypi:~/diskplayer $ cat diskplayer.yaml
spotify:
callback_url: http://localhost:8080/callback
device_name: spotifyd
client_id: xxxx
client_secret: 0xxxx
recorder:
folder_path: /tmp
filename: diskplayer.contents
server_port: 3000
token:
path: ./token.json

Any ideas?

I too am getting this error, need to dig deeper and see if I can run it verbosely to see where its looking for the client
EDIT:

Ok so maybe the Spotify wrapper isn't passing the required info which would return the empty string that throws the error.
I'll start digging there.

Hi - I myself have not setup the Diskplayer in a few weeks now, but I will find some time this weekend to walk through it again and see what's missing.

Oh wow, cool.

I know you aren't actively supporting the project, I was just posting my own troubleshooting for others who may be looking here.

I've narrowed it down to:

playerID := diskplayerId(&ds, n)
	if playerID == "" {
		return fmt.Errorf("client identified by %s not found", n)
	}

Which points us to:

func diskplayerId(ds *[]spotify.PlayerDevice, n string) spotify.ID {
	for _, d := range *ds {
		if d.Name == n {
			return d.ID
		}
	}

	return ""
}

I don't see anything in "https://github.com/zmb3/spotify" about a "spotify.PlayerDevice" which could be an issue (Maybe they renamed that bit?) But that would easily explain why we are getting a null value returned instead of the actual ID

Edit: Found a Type in Spotify/Player.go But that's it so far, I'll dig more when I get home to see where this type is actually used.

Which Points us to something outside the project, I Forked so I could set up a dev environment and try and poke at this, but man would it help to have insight from the OD.

Hi @afritsch89 @chrfrancis , I've run through the setup on my Pi again and it is working, but I did notice that the README is missing the steps involved relating to Spotifyd.

Can you try the following:

• Install the spotifyd binary for you platform of choice: https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/releases
• Create a config file at /etc/spotifyd.conf and include the following:

[global]
username = YOUR_SPOTIFY_USERNAME_OR_EMAIL_ADDRESS
password = YOUR_SPOTIFY_PASSWORD
device_name = YOUR_SPOTIFY_DEVICE_NAME

I'm not entirely sure what one would place there if you authenticate via Facebook or some other identity provider. I vaguely recall being able to setup a password from the Spotify account page: https://www.spotify.com/account/

The device name above should match what you have set in the diskplayer.yaml file. I have device_name: diskplayer123

Then run spotifyd and make sure that it can connect to Spotify. I recommend running Spotifyd as a service (https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd#running-as-a-system-service)

I see the following logs when I run sudo systemctl status spotifyd.service which tell me that I am connected to Spotify:

You should also be able to see the device show up in the Spotify desktop or mobile app as a playable device:

If you have everything running like this you should be able to issue play commands successfully:

./player -uri spotify:album:3oyu7chRauu88JYPYfFB55 

Let me know if this helps at all?

Well, I feel dumb...

Though missing from the README, I do recall this being in your blog post...

I will give this a go when I get home, I'm sure it will do the trick.

And would fall in line with the errors I semi backtracked.

Though I'd still like to start picking up GO.
Gotta branch out from Python eventually :) I'll let you know how the changes go!

You can mark this issue closed.

Best part? I think it was covered in a previous issue that I didn't even see before. (I'm not a smart man jenay.)

But this is the exact fix thank you so much!!

Next is wrapping up the hardware, my build is using a pi zero W and an old external floppy drive(With a USB adapter) it will
just be a single box with power and audio coming out of the back (maybe I'll do an sd extension but meh)
