Liked tracks

[winterscar]

The main way I use Spotify is to navigate to my "Liked Tracks" and hit "Play All".
I use this library in association with home-assistant, and I can start playing any of my playlists without problems, but I'm unable to figure out how I might instruct mopidy to just shuffle all my "Liked Tracks" from spotify.

Is this possible using this library?

Thanks.

For all music backends, Mopidy supports both:

• physically shuffling the play queue (called the "tracklist") so that you can view what order the tracks will be played in,
• "random" play mode, where it will leave the tracklist intact, but pick the next song by random.

I'm not familiar with the HomeAssistant Mopidy integration, so I don't know if or how this functionality is exposed there. Please try asking at https://discourse.mopidy.com or the maintainers of the HomeAssistant integration.

Hi, thanks for clarifying about the shuffle modes mopidy supports. However, my question was more around how I can get my "liked songs" from spotify into the tracklist in the first place.

AFAIK we don't expose "Liked Songs" in any way, and I can't immediately find any support for them in Spotify's Web API. If anyone can point out my error or if Spotify adds support for it to the Spotify Web API, we can make "Liked Songs" available in Mopidy-Spotify too.

Would it not be this?

I think @winterscar is referring to the "folders" presented through the browse integration, by navigating to Spotify -> Your music -> Your Tracks. This isn't a playlist and therefore presumably can't be triggered through an integration that only supports playlists.

It might be possible to provide a fake "liked tracks" playlist?

That seems like a good solution to me!

@winterscar Would you be able to take a look at #313 and see if it resolves your issue?
