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 :
sudo apt-get install build-essential portaudio19-dev libprotoc-dev
On OS X, using homebrew :
brew install portaudio protobuf
Once you've cloned this repository you can build librespot using cargo
.
cargo build --release
Usage
A sample program implementing a headless Spotify Connect receiver is provided. Once you've built librespot, run it using :
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 :
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.
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 :
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
