spotify-mpris2-proxy
spotify fixed the issue, nothing to see here anymore :)
Currently Spotify doesn't implement the MPRIS D-Bus Interface according with the spec (link below). As a consequence the KDE mediacontroller plasmoid fails to recognize Spotify as mpris2 compliant player.
This is a "fake player" that implements* the mpris interface and relays the commands to spotify.
- http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/2.2/
- https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/workspace/plasma-workspace/
- This player doesn't follow the spec either but it's better than nothing and good enough for KDE mediacontroller detect as a player and provide basic controls.
This is just a workaround and is not intended as a final solution.
I hope spotify fix their implementation and make this program irrelevant.
