-
Accept commands from your server to control playback.

-

You can find the settings directly within Spotify's Preferences menu:
-
Enable Client: The the socket connection on or off. -
Port: Set the specific local port for the socket server. -
Progress Interval: Adjust how frequently the progress event is sent.
Why did you make this?
Since Spotify decided to lock their API behind a Premium sub and fucked the community off,
my 'now playing' overlay doesn't work anymore due to not being able to use their API.
How do I use this?
You can use example python socket server and expand from there.
