Spotilocal

Spotilocal allows you to query the local spotify client and fetch informations about the current status and perform actions such as start/stop.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'spotilocal'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install spotilocal

Usage

Libary

You can specify a port to create the instance faster. Otherwise spotilocal will try to discover the port.

# Create a new spotify object
s = Spotilocal::Client.new port: 4382

After that you can simply fetch some informations.

s.status
s.pause   # true if paused
s.unpause # true if playing

Cli

Spotilocas comes with a thor cli. The cli is currently a bit slow due to port autodiscover. You can use it like this

spotilocal play URI # plays uri
spotilocal pause    # guess what
spotilocal unpause  # yup..

Thor allows argument guessing. So commands like spotilocal un will work too.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
