dlalap/spotifypartyqueue

a queue handler for the local house party

Spotify Queuer

The idea is for everyone at a party to add to a playlist through SMS.

Things to note:

Spotipy library obtained via this command line:

pip install git+https://github.com/plamere/spotipy.git --upgrade

Things to run

Run main Flask program python3 main.py

Run ngrok to expose port to the world and Twilio can redirect SMS body content ngrok http 1812

Turn on auto-removal timer to remove currently playing (and duplicate) tracks https://#####.ngrok.io/monitor

Commands

$NEXT to skip the currently playing track User can text any spotify query and Twilio will return the top 5 results. Pressing 0 will return the last 5 results.

User is expected to type better search queries if they want to hear what they want.

Features to develop

Not hardcoding in my spotify account 😬

Known issues

When the playlist is queue and the last song has reached the end, nothing is playing. This is expected.

Then the user selects a track. It gets added to the queue but then the queuer may delete the track and skip to another track from the 'Recommended' playlist. This is not expected.
