# librespot
|
|
*librespot* is an open source client library for Spotify. It enables
|
|
applications to use Spotify's service, without using the official but
|
|
closed-source libspotify. Additionally, it will provide extra features
|
|
which are not available in the official library.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
*librespot* is currently under development and is not fully functional yet. You
|
|
are however welcome to experiment with it.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
Rust 1.7.0 or later is required to build librespot.
|
|
|
|
It also requires a C and C++ toolchain, with libprotoc and portaudio.
|
|
|
|
On debian / ubuntu, the following command will install these dependencies :
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential portaudio19-dev libprotoc-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On OS X, using homebrew :
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install portaudio protobuf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you've cloned this repository you can build *librespot* using `cargo`.
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
A sample program implementing a headless Spotify Connect receiver is provided.
|
|
Once you've built *librespot*, run it using :
|
|
```shell
|
|
target/release/librespot --appkey APPKEY --username USERNAME --cache CACHEDIR --name DEVICENAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Discovery mode
|
|
*librespot* can be run in discovery mode, in which case no password is required at startup.
|
|
dns-sd or avahi's compatibility layer is required for this. On debian/ubuntu this is the
|
|
`libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev` package. It come preinstalled on OS X.
|
|
|
|
It must be enabled at build time :
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo build --release --features discovery
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When running *librespot* simply omit the `--username` argument.
|
|
|
|
## Facebook Accounts
|
|
*librespot* can be built with Facebook authentication support. OpenSSL is required for this.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo build --release --features facebook
|
|
target/release/librespot --appkey APPKEY --cache CACHEDIR --name DEVICENAME --facebook
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will print a link to the console, which must be visited on the same computer *librespot* is running on.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
When developing *librespot*, it is preferable to use Rust nightly, and build it using the following :
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo build --no-default-features
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This produces better compilation error messages than with the default configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Disclaimer
|
|
Using this code to connect to Spotify's API is probably forbidden by them, and
|
|
might result in you application key getting banned. Use at you own risk
