A simple client to convert a spotify ID into a series of MQTT topics.
It was developed to replace Shairport-sync with Spotifyd, publishing to a subset of the Shairport-sync topics.
| Topic name | Description |
|---|---|
| play_end | Current track has stopped playing |
| play_resume | Current track is resumed |
| play_start | Current track is starting |
| track_id | Track id |
| title | Track title |
| artist | Track artist |
| album | Track album |
Generally, the order of events will be publication on title, artist and album. Then one of the control
signals, play_end, play_resume or play_start will be sent --.

make setup && make build
The service is designed to run as a user, not root. Note the deliberate lack of sudo here.
make install
When your default editor opens, provide values for your Spotify client id and secret. You may also override the default port, broker address and path.
For example:
[Service]
Environment=SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=redacted_id
Environment=SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=redacted_secret
Then run make start
Subsequently, run make restart on update.
