spotify-tv's Introduction

!!! DEPRECATED !!!

The official Spotify app for Android TV is finally here!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.tv.android

As a result, I won't be working on this project anymore. If you want to keep working on it (e.g. you feel it's better than the official one), please let me know.

Thanks everyone for collaborating on that project.

Release build

Add the values release.storeFile, release.storePassword, release.keyAlias, and release.keyPassword to release.properties. release.storeFile should be an absolute path to your keystore, the others should be the string value. See release.properties.sample for an example file.

Pull Requests

I welcome and encourage all pull requests. It usually will take me within 24-48 hours to respond to any issue or request. Here are some basic rules to follow to ensure timely addition of your request:

Match coding style (braces, spacing, etc.) This is best achieved using CMD+Option+L (Reformat code) on Mac (not sure for Windows) with Android Studio defaults.
If its a feature, bugfix, or anything please only change code to what you specify. DO NOT do this: Ex: Title "Fixes Crash Related to Bug" includes other files that were changed without explanation or doesn't relate to the bug you fixed. Or another example is a non-descriptive title "Fixes Stuff".
Pull requests must be made against latest master branch.
Have fun!

spotify-tv's Issues

Release tags

Would it be possible to create git tags when releases are made to the play store? Would be great for debugging crashes. Also would be useful to upload the apk to the releases page :)

Native lib crash

It seems like the latest play store version is a bad build or something.

On startup the spotify sdk crashes, with an exception where it can't load the native .so libs.

Crashlytics Access

Hey, I was wondering if it might be possible to get read only access to crashlytics? Then I can help fix some crashes :)

You can contact me on twitter twitter.com/athornz

Progress on google play store

Just wondering if there are plans to rebrand the app and get it on play store again? (I was about to start writing my own to play my own playlists when I came across this project)

Non-Issue: Feature Request - Random Play

If the feature is already there then where do i enable Random play for playlists?

If not then can you please incorporate Random play for playlists please.

Cant play songs.

When trying to play songs, (clicking on album or single song).
it wont play but instead start the logging in screen from spotify again and starts over at the top of the screen.

Option to force / use Daydream from within the app

As I wrote on the Google+ community - daydream seems not to be activated always from within the app. FYI In Emma, the option is "Use screensaver"

Me:
For some reason, when playing music Android TV (SHIELD in my case) won't use daydream. Since I use this on a TV I would like to prevent burn-in so daydream is quite essential. Emma for Spotify can activate daydream so can this be added? I like the UI way better than Emma but would not like the UI to be burned into my plasma forever :)

AKIS A.
If you exit to lean-back launcher screen the daydream will activate. If you stay inside the app daydream often does not start. (Nexus Player, Android OS 6.0.1)

Me:
Strange but everything is fine now, also in the app :)
I set Daydream to activate in 5 mins and Stay awake on Music to off. Seems to work!
...but not always as you mentioned - from the app that is. Launcher is fine. So my request remains - an option to activate daydream from within the app. Thanks!

Playlists only display first 100 songs

Once you load a playlist only a 100 songs are shown (and playable) in the list.
The playlist does show the correct amount of songs in the playlist.

Now playing animations not working upon cell recycling

"Now playing" animations are not stopped upon cell recycling when browsing a playlist while a track is currently playing.
Animations become all messed up (playing on wrong cell once the current track cell has been recycled).

Question: does it needs premium subscription?

As I'm looking for a way to remotely control Spotify on the nexus player, does this solution works even without a premium subscription?
Or is it like the official app (sideloaded requires premium subscription to allow Spotify connect)?

Searching from the Android TV homescreen doesn't work

As far as I can tell, the app supports regular (voice) search through the leanback support-library and has a dedicated intent for search.

What I can't get working is searching from the main Android TV homescreen. I suspected that discoverability was simply not implemented, but skimming quickly through the source it seems to be there too.

Should this be working at this point? Am I doing something wrong? I'm running the App from the Play Store, not built from source myself.

Player should pause when other apps starts playing

Nice work btw.

Issues after last PRs

Album details screen is completely empty (sometimes, the paylist details screen is empty too)
Play/Pause toggle doesn't work in the Now Playing screen

Search is broken with marshmallow (Shield TV and Nexus TV)

The app is crashing when you click on the search button.

Can't update support library

Updating the support library breaks the selection state for cards.

After some investigation it seems this is due to the SpotifyCardView. Any calls to load an image or change the imageview dimensions breaks the selection.

It is probably a better approach to extend BaseCardView and create our own CardView, rather than wrapping the CardView in another layout.
