Plugins / Re: (Version 3.1) Spotify Integration Plugin
« on: December 09, 2022, 04:47:37 PM »
Hello,
I'm a brand new MB user and I am in no way a coder or techie. Although this plugin doesn't actually do what I hoped it would do, I have nevertheless managed to install it and get it to work exactly as the designer intended (I think, anyway!). I achieved this by:
a) making sure I had the latest downloads of MB (from the website, not the Windows store) and of this plugin.
b) following the steps in the video above exactly, making sure the correct files were copied to the correct location.
If you do this I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Things to note:
c) the plugin takes a track playing from your physical library (you know, the one on your PC etc) and then mirrors it to Spotify.
d) this enables you to very quickly add your owned library to your streaming library (by clicking on the 'Track/Album Saved in Library' etc link), providing that track exists on Spotify.
e) that's it. That's all it does.
Therefore you have to be playing a track from your physical library, for it to show in the plugin. If you are not playing a track from your physical library then you will see the 'No track found! comment. Although that said, it sometimes finds a similarly named track instead of the correct one.
What the plugin does not do:
f) play tracks in the Spotify client.
g) sync tracks in reverse from Spotify to MB - it's a one-way syncing service.
Bonne chance!
