Logitech G15/Z-10 LCD Spotify status/currently playing script

Mon, 12/21/2009 - 01:18 — sham

Here is a quick script I put together to be able to see what song is currently playing from Spotify on my Z-10 speakers.

Download here : g15spotify.zip

Released under the GPL 2.0

Please note this is my first 'big' bash script so please let me know about any problems/improvements needed.

Loosely based on G15 Amarok Plugin Plus by Robert Riemann

I just decided to buy a Premium subscription for Spotify.

I seem to be buying more and more online services. The way of the future?

Spotify under Wine in Linux - Can't open spotify links in Firefox

Sun, 11/22/2009 - 23:12 — sham
Fix for: 'Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (spotify) isn't associated with any program.' In the Spotify instructions (here) it says: 
Opening spotify URIs from browsers
 
This has been tested and works with Firefox (Iceweasel), Epiphany and Opera 9.5.
 
To be abe to open spotify URIs you first need a simple script:
 
echo '#!/bin/sh' > ~/.browser2spotify
echo 'exec wine "C:\Program Files\Spotify\spotify.exe" /uri "$@"' >> ~/.browser2spotify
chmod 755 ~/.browser2spotify
 
(Change the path to the spotify executable if necessary)
Firefox/Epiphany
 
In Epiphany enter the following in the URI field:
 
about:config
 
Right click and select New > Boolean and name it network.protocol-handler.external.spotify and set it to True
 
Right click and select New > String and name it network.protocol-handler.app.spotify and set the name to ~/.browser2spotify
You also need to add boolean: 
network.protocol-handler.expose.spotify
with type false. This worked for me. The fix is from grus comment here. Thank you grus!
