I have installed Pytify with pip on Arch Linux.
pityfy -x commands (n,p,pp,c) are working fine, but when I use the search function I can't change to the selected song.

Dbus times out.

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Ubuntu 16.10
Spotify version 1.0.38.171.g5e1cd7b2, Copyright (c) 2016, Spotify Ltd

After searching I get the following error message:

And pytify stops...

I looked at some help with this 'addwstr() ERR' and found that might be an issue with libncurses5 or libncursesw5 dependencies. I upgraded both (tried reinstalling only one or both, simlink etc etc) but it not worked at all

Do somebody can help me?

Running Spotify 1.0.49.125.g72ee7853 with Pytify 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 17.04.

Hi,

This app doesn't work.

When I'm launching it, I get the following exception:

Installation went fine with pip, dependecy check is okay:

When I try to run pytify I got this error:

I'm using Arch Linux, python2 and python 3 packages are installed.

It would be great, if you can add requirements.txt file.

For easy installing development version of this application:
pip install -r requirements.txt

Prev got issues with the dbus

installed via pip just now

python v3.5.2
pip v9.0.1
python-dbus [installed]
OS => arch linux
kernel => 4.8.13
architecture => x86_64

Traceback here

Is this possible?

When I run pytify in CLI:

$ pytify

Some errors occured. Try restart or start Spotify. 

I install following the tutorial and I did it in Mint, python3.4.3
I don't know what happened, and I will try to fix it myself if there are more information.

use pip install pytify==2.1.0

instead of pip install pytify , which installs the latest build

"I did install it, but from the source though. However I noticed one problem; pytify creates a history file in whichever directory it is invoked from. Shouldn't there be one history file at ~"
#57 (comment)

I need to install prompt-toolkit>=1.0.15 but pytify requires prompt-toolkit==1.0.0.

Is version 1.0.0 necessary?

Hello,
I would like to use pytify in a python code, but what are the methods, and functions ?

thanks

Type song number and press <enter> to play. Press <enter> for new search.
> 2
22:32: syntax error: A identifier can’t go after this identifier. (-2740)

After doing a quick google, it looks like it has to do with osascript.

My package manager and pip only provide version 2 of the prompt-toolkit library. This version, among possibly other things, removed the AbortAction method, which causes pytify to fail. Other changes are listed in this changelog.

By saying “Save to your music” I mean the + button in the screenshot. This will be definitely very helpful because most of the times we don't want to switch to Spotify UI and click the button.

Create a dotfile (.pytifyrc) where people can add their config. Like Oauth keys.

Then we can add more functionality to Pytify.

Looks like this library would be fairly easy to add python 3 support to. I get an error on line 49 of the cli.py file (where we print).

Is it possible to get the current playing song using action script in osx?

If so we need to add def get_current_playing(self): see https://github.com/bjarneo/Pytify/blob/master/pytify/linux.py#L31 to https://github.com/bjarneo/Pytify/blob/master/pytify/darwin.py
Output should look like this:
Artist - Title

I get the following string while I search, I have configured environment variables:

➜  ~ pytify
pytify 3.3.2 [https://github.com/bjarneo/Pytify]
youser - Search:
> i like me better
u'tracks'
youser - Search:
>
 exit: ctrl+d | clear: ctrl+c

As the expense of having to add tests?

Hi everyone.
i'll be quick, when i try to run it returns an IndexError.
Here is the output.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pytify", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/home/emaa/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytify/cli.py", line 88, in main App() File "/home/emaa/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytify/cli.py", line 19, in __init__ self.run() File "/home/emaa/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytify/cli.py", line 58, in run print(self.pytify.get_current_playing()) File "/home/emaa/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytify/linux.py", line 32, in get_current_playing return self.metadata.get_current_playing() File "/home/emaa/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytify/dbus/metadata.py", line 23, in get_current_playing playing['artist'] = value[0] IndexError: list index out of range

I've got a project in my mind so i'll be very greatful if you help me to solve this issue.

Might be related to #54 .

Running Spotify 1.0.49.125.g72ee7853 on Ubuntu 17.04 with pytify, latest git version:

Searching for anything gives an error: 'bool' object is not subscriptable. Other commands work fine.

I used this to print the current song in my tmux status-bar. I encountered a problem with the encoding, not being able to print some foreign characters (åäö in my case) in song titles.
I solved this by:
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf_8 pytify -c
Not sure there's a configuration issue with my system or the script uses another encoding (haven't been able to find that in the source though). Anyway, if anyone wants to use it for the same purposes that's how I solved it.

It does not work very well at all.

hat artist / song are you searching for?

Red hot Chili pepper
Search went wrong? Please try again.

As the title says. Just to be sure.

;)

Currently it doesn't seem possible to find & play playlists through the search function

It would be nice to install it using pip install spotipy or something like it.
Just have to take note that there is already a registered python package with the name spotipy: https://github.com/plamere/spotipy

I got this error every time I type a number in order to play a song. Example:

What artist / song are you searching for?

I am running cly.py on virtualenv, python 2.7.8 and Mac OS X Yosemite.
The song I selected didn't play

We need a logo! Up for grabs!

Must be clean. Simple.

I have a bash script file that is set to run automatically: https://github.com/c7v/work_run/blob/master/work_run.sh and I start Spotify before work.I was hoping that there would be music on Spotify at exactly 9:00, which would let me know if I'm not at the computer about the start of work hours. I was planning to run music in Spotify via cron using a script:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/bash -i -c '/usr/local/bin/pytify -pp'

as a result, the script worked, but the music did not turn on, the following error was issued:

Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2022 10:53:01 +0400 (+04)

bash: не удаётся задать группу процесса терминала (21894): Неприменимый к данному устройству ioctl
bash: этот командный процессор не может управлять заданиями
bash: не удаётся задать группу процесса терминала (21894): Неприменимый к данному устройству ioctl
bash: этот командный процессор не может управлять заданиями

Some errors occured. Try restart or start Spotify. Pytify is just a cli application which controls Spotify. So you can't use Pytify without Spotify.

How can I start Spotify music at 9 am automatically?

Thanks for the help and software! ❤️

Would be nice to like have this feature.
