Following this now, interesting but I'll wait for fixes.. I can't even run on windows, server doesn't start because it thinks its a wrong path (default spoty on users/xxx/appdata/roaming/spotify/spotify) and on Mac. Ohhh pre alpha..

Error on server

Hi,

I'm trying to get this up and running, controlling the music centrally from an old Windows XP laptop. I've put the latest version of Java on it, but whenever I run the server I get the following error in the logs. Has anyone met this before and can give me some help or advice to get this running please?

Laurie

Is this app dead ?

Hi,
I didn't find anymore spotify controller on google play, and the last message in this topic is quite old.
Does it mean this app is no longer develloped ?

thanks :)

I installed the new client and server version.
The controller doesn't detect the presence of Spotify app on my phone and share from spotify to spotcontroller doesn't works anymore.
Play and pause controls works.

    I have created a new application that I would like to get your comments on :)

    Here's some info about it:
    Spotify Control lets you control the real Spotify UI on your computer.
    Now supports BOTH Windows and Linux. If upgrading, PLEASE upgrade the server software as well!
    Spotify Controller lets you control the official Spotify user interface. No other app can do this for Linux computers.
    PLEASE contact us by mail before submitting low ratings or negative comments.
    Requirements:
    * The official Spotify client must be installed on your computer. Please make sure that you can start Spotify and play music with it, prior to using SpotifyController.
    * Linux or Windows. For Linux you must use the the Linux version of Spotify (not the one running under Wine). We have tested SpotifyController on Windows XP, Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10. If you get it to work on other versions/platform please inform us so we can update this information.
    * To be able to populate app with playlists/songs you must have the official Spotify app installed on your device.
    Features:
    * Start/stop song.
    * Skip to next/previous song.
    * Use the official Spotify app to populate your own favorite list of playlists and songs.
    * Control the volume (using the volume buttons on the device).
    * Configure multiple servers, e.g. if you want to control more than one computer.
    * Shortcut in notification bar for easy access. Can be disabled in settings.
    * Change color theme
    * Show album art (can be disabled)
    * Animations (can be disabled)
    Server installation:
    1. Download SpotifyController server from here: SEE ANDROID MARKET PAGE (link below)
    2. Extract the package to any folder.
    3. Run the install script and follow the instructions.
    To upgrade server:
    1. Extract the new software to the same place.
    2. Run the install script again.
    Known limitations (Windows only):
    * Since the official Spotify client in Windows does not start playing playlists automatically, we need to kill Spotify and start it again when playlists are sent to the client. Drawbacks: slower loading of playlists and possibly dead icons in system tray.
    Permissions used:
    * External Storage - backup history items and server settings
    * Wifi State - advice the user to use Wifi
    * Internet - access the SpotifyController Server

    I think i've finished the Zenity script, so for those who wants a notification icon in Ubuntu can go here and check it out: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/384114/
    Download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/873907/SpotifyControllerZenity.sh

    Place it in the same directory as Spotify Controller. Double click on it to run. The script checks if zenity is installed, if it is placed in the correct location, if you're running Natty and need to whitelist applications for the system tray etc. It uses the same icon as provided by Spotify Controller so there's a beautiful little icon in the notification area which you click to shut down the server :)

    You have to right-click and choose Properties and check "Allow to execute" under the Permissions tab. In Natty, you can add it to the launcher with the Main Menu application and choose New Item (not sure how to otherwise create desktop shortcuts but to make a text file).
    Edit: I updated the script with cd $(dirname $0) in the beginning to make it work with shortcuts. Download it again to get the updated version (don't copy and paste from the pastebin since it's not updated).

    Check /usr/bin and see if you have the SpotifyController script there. Sounds like you don't, and I'm guessing the installation script failed for you somehow. While you're at it check if KillSpotifyController is there as well :)

    If you just want to try out the server you can download my script here and place it in the same directory as the zip you extracted: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/873907/SpotifyControllerZenity.sh
    All you need to do is right-clicking it and allow it to execute.

    Hello,

    I downloaded the server and installed is using the install.bat. Everything goes well. The music starts, the music stops, volume up, volume down.

    But when I try to access the server using the android app it keeps saying. No server available. Also when trying to access the server using ://localhost:1258/SpotifyControllerServlet/SpotifyControllerServlet I do not get any responce.

    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate (I switched off my McAfee firewall while trying). How can I check if the server/service is running and/or how can I start the server.

    Have you started the server with the other bat-file and/or shortcuts created by the install script? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but the install script doesn't start the server :) If you used the shortcut on the desktop, maybe you could try the bat file instead, and see if it gives you any pointers as to what isn't working.
