Command-line spotify-launcher

Overview

spotify-launcher

Spotify has a free linux client but prohibits re-distribution, so this is a freely distributable opensource program that manages a spotify installation in your home folder from the official spotify release server.

If you work for spotify please reach out so we can talk. 👉👈

Configuration

spotify-launcher is going to look for a configuration file at the following locations (in this order):

${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/spotify-launcher.conf
/etc/spotify-launcher.conf

If no config is found it's going to start with default settings. Your configuration file may look like this:

[spotify]
## Pass extra arguments to the spotify executable
## You can test this with `spotify-launcher -v --skip-update --no-exec`
#extra_arguments = []
## On HiDPI displays spotify doesn't pick up the scale factor automatically
#extra_arguments = ["--force-device-scale-factor=2.0"]
## On wayland you might need
#extra_arguments = ["--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform", "--ozone-platform=wayland"]

Pass arguments + flags to `spotify` executable
Is it possible to send arguments + flags to the spotify executable?

E.g. for wayland support it is necessary to start spotify like this

spotify --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

Caused by: ENOEXEC: Exec format error `

I'm running arch on a M1 mac so I'm using the aarch64 architecture, your program has an ARM version (https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/spotify-launcher) which I think is fantastic, but I guess this end result "ENOEXEC" is probably because the spotify client that gets downloaded isn't aarch64? If so is this a problem that can be helped (by e.g specifying the architecture in config) or is this entirely due to spotify not having an ARM linux client?

Kind regards

Keyboard shortcuts doesn't work?

I'm not sure I might have configured something wrong but I cant get keyboard shortcuts to work like the official Spotify packages, at least for Windows where I come from, e.g Ctrl+Right for next track, or Ctrl+Up for increase volume. Is this a known bug?

Insane update timeout

According to src/http.rs#L15, the default timeout for updating is 1 hour. This is quite insane, as who's prepared to wait an hour to download an update? My current network blocks spotify, however allows the connection to open - this means that spotify-launcher hangs for an hour before giving up, unless --skip-update is passed (which isn't ideal when I'm only on this network 4 out of 7 days of the week, for a few hours each day).

Are there any plans to allow the timeout to be configurable, or at the very least lowered?

Add configuration of env vars

This PR adds configuring environment variables in the config file, which is useful for specifying LD_PRELOAD for using e.g. https://github.com/dasJ/spotifywm.

It allows specifying extra_env_vars = ["K1=V1", "K2=V2" ] and calls set_var before the execv. However, I'd like your feedback on whether this approach or using execve would be better.

Add support for opening URIs in existing instance

Right now if we open Spotify URLs (for example via Spotify Web -> "Open in Desktop App"), it will always open a new Spotify instance, even if there is already one running and playing music already.

This patch uses Spotify's org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.OpenUri dbus method to open the link in the existing instance instead.

If this dbus call fails for whatever reason, it falls back to opening a new instance (like the old behaviour). Obviously we also first check if an instance already exists, before attempting to call OpenUri.

Unclosable window on launch

When launching the program (including the first launch when it installs), my spotify will open and function normally, but there is also a completely black window that I can't close. Once I close the functioning window, the other will remain until I send it a KILL signal or use ^C if I am running it in the terminal. Here is my config and my logs:

[spotify]
extra_arguments = ["--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform", "--ozone-platform=wayland"]

Configure pulseaudio application icon name

Spotify registers as pulseaudio stream with application name spotify but no application icon is shown within volume controls (e.g. pavucontrol).

An easy way to adjust is to provide the icon name directly via an environment variable.

# Configure icon name via env
$ env PULSE_PROP_application.icon_name=spotify-launcher spotify-launcher
# Check the setting
$ pw-dump spotify |grep -F -e application.name -e application.icon-name
        "application.name": "spotify",
        "application.icon-name": "spotify-launcher",

This works within the DesktopEntry as well

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Spotify (Launcher)
GenericName=Music Player
Icon=spotify-launcher
TryExec=spotify-launcher
Exec=env PULSE_PROP_application.icon_name=spotify-launcher spotify-launcher %U
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/spotify;
Categories=Audio;Music;Player;AudioVideo;
StartupWMClass=spotify

Would be nice to include the environment variable in the DesktopEntry to show the Spotify icon.

(This is different from #11, where the DesktopEntry is actually parsed for the icon name.)

Rename DesktopEntry file to `spotify.desktop`
First, thanks for making this cool wrapper. :)

Spotify exposes its own DesktopEntry as spotify during runtime as part of the MPRIS specification. This can be used to show further details like the Icon in other applications or the system tray (e.g. by mpris-indicator-button). Currently this would fail as the launcher is installed as spotify-launcher.desktop and not spotify.desktop, so the advertised value is different from the actual DesktopEntry.

# Query the advertised DesktopEntry from DBus $ dbus-send --session --print-reply=literal --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:org.mpris.MediaPlayer2 string:DesktopEntry variant spotify

Can you rename the file spotify-launcher.desktop to spotify.desktop to be consistent with the self-advertised value of Spotify?

Unfortunately the DBus property seems read-only when Spotify is running and I had no luck in manually changing it from outside.

A simple workaround is to rename the DesktopEntry locally.

# Link locally with the advertised name and hide the global system entry $ ln -s /usr/share/applications/spotify-launcher.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/spotify.desktop $ cat ~/.local/share/applications/spotify-launcher.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Spotify (Launcher) Hidden=true
