and I will not update it. so go check out the new preview version of spotify with app support.
there will definitely be a better remote control out soon now that spotify as support for apps.
Spotify Preview, with App support
----
Hi,
This is a hack to get some sort of remote control for Spotify through the web.
I'm not affiliated with Spotify, But it's a great application and I can't wait until they've
implemented a real web interface themselves.
Sorry for the blurry and shaky videos ;)
1. Start Spotify client
2. Start spotify_web.exe
- The very first launch will show the settings window
- Press start
(if start doesn't work, then make sure the Spotify client is running, then try again.)
if everything is working it should look like this
- Now open a browser and surf to your computer (spotify_web listens to all your ip addresses)
ex. http://127.0.0.1/ or http://127.0.0.1:8080/ if you've selected 8080 as the port
- This will show the controls.
To change size of the controls, just resize the left coloumn in the Spotify client
Premium account is not required but totally recommended!
Known bugs:
- Looks like there are problems with setting the listening port.
- Spelling mistake on previous in the tray icon menu. // thank you miken.
- You can't maximize or minimze the Spotify client
- Volume only affects windows system volume not the Spotify client slider.
- Resizing the left column in the Spotify client too many times may crach safarimobile
