SpotifyHttpRemote

HTTP API for sending basic playback commands to a spotify client running on OSX.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'spotify_http_remote'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install spotify_http_remote

Usage

Start server:

$ spotify_http_remote <port> - Default port is 8080

In development mode 'localhost' is the default hostname.

Switch to production mode and start sending commands from other devices on the network by setting RACK_ENV variable to 'production':

$ export RACK_ENV=production

To allow devices from outside your network to send requests to the client, the router needs to be configured to forward traffic to the client's local IP.
