      Spotify Premium - Plugin Setup

      Adding, logging in and setting up Spotify Premium plugin.

      Spotify Premium plugin has been rewritten (starting from version 5.2). If any issues arise with functions being not accessible (e.g., volume does not work, play/pause or track change is inoperative) please send a comment to customer service.


      Workaround: We recommend using OS Media Commands to control general Spotify features like volume, play/stop and next/previous track (instead of using Spotify specific commands).

      FUNCTIONALITY


      Spotify plugin integrates most needed controls for perfect listening experience! You can use standard media controls (previous track, next track, play/pause) and also control track suffle or repeat functions. Spotify specific volume control is of course part of the plugin and you can also utilize standard playlist functions for starting a playlist and to save a running track to your desired playlist. 

      REQUIREMENTS

      • A Spotify Premium - account
      • Application or a device for Spotify playback
      • Loupedeck account

      LINKING A SPOTIFY PREMIUM ACCOUNT

      In order to get Spotify actions working by using Loupedeck you need to link your Spotify Premium account with Loupedeck software - this enables Loupedeck to send commands directly to Spotify’s cloud API system, which commands the active Spotify playback device (your computer, amplifier, TV..).

      • Click the account avatar (top right corner)
      • Click "Sign in to Loupedeck" - this will open a web page for login process
      • Type in your Loupedeck login credentials (email & password)
      • Press “Sign in”

      After login: avatar icon changes to your initial letters (e.g. Firstname Lastname -> FL).

      2. Adding your Spotify Premium Account

      • Select the profile to which you want to add Spotify Premium controls to
