StreamController Spotify Control Plugin

Note

This plugin only works with a spotify premium account. Not with a free spotify account. Also an internetconnection is required.

Warning

Rigth now the plugin performs a lot of calls to the webapi. It can happen that the Calls are too much and the app gets blocked from accessing the webapi. That can cause a crash of the streamcontroller.

What can you do with this Plugin?

With this Plugin you can control any Spotify that is connected to your account. You can control the client that is running on your system while gaming or you can also control a music box in your Network.

Create an Issue

First you can check the open open Issues if your Issue is already known. If your Issue is in that List you can add some more information on the problem if you have one or just a thumbs up so I can see that there are more people with the same problem.

You can also see on the Spotify Control Plugin Issue Board in which version it is planned to be fixed.

If your Issue isn't in the Issue Board you can create a new Issue from the Templates.

Get help with smaller problems

You can join the stream controller Discord Server. There you can get help from others or from me by contacting K!ll3rT. But I don't look into Discord every day.
