0 msgreenf Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 you can't but you should setup room auto on in the spotify drivers in those rooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hank31980 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Firstly, do you know if there is a Limit to how many Spotify Room Drivers can be added to a Residential Home project, I heard it may be 11, but not sure? Secndly if there is a limit, is it related to type of Controller used, ie EA-1, EA-3, EA-5 etc? Final question, if there is a limit, dos this equally apply to MyMusic and Sharebridge distribution throughout a project? Any advice welcome on this limit question.

0 msgreenf Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 there is a limit of Spotify - 11 per project. it's an audio limit not a controller limit. If it's an EA - regardless of model - still 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hank31980 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thanks, is this a general streaming rule for Control4 or just a Spotify rule? Does this also apply to MyMusic, so am I limited to how many rooms I can navigate through My Music Digital Music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, to play music on Spotify I always have to launch from Spotify? I was under the impression, per page 7 of the same guide, that I should be able to use the C4 app, select listen, select spotify, and then select a playlist. Also, trying to "Add Preset icon" per the C4 spotify user guide, page 5, using my Android C4 OS3 app. However, the heart/favorite icon does not appear. Thanks for clarifying!

0 msgreenf Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 What you said is correct. Those are alternative ways. But the easiest is via spotify or via buttons or favoriting a playlist to room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TVC15 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 I don't see a way to save a "preset"/playlist from my Android app. Is it possible? Does it work on iOS? Or, only on a C4 tablet? I've asked C4 tech support but can't seem to get an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TVC15 Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks, @dcovach! I don't see anywhere in Spotify to "heart" a playlist. I can "heart" a song but not a playlist. When you say "select the preset and favorite to room" do I need to do that in Composer HE or on the Android App? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dcovach Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The heart is usually in the top right hand corner where you see the image of the person and + symbol. It's not there in the image you provided. Try other stations or playlists. Once you've "hearted" something in spotify, use the C4 app to find the preset in the spotify icon and then click it. Favorite to a room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite to a room. I just created a new playlist and the heart doesn't show up. However, on "external" playlists, Spotify Radio Stations, etc. there is a "Follow" button that moves that item into my "Playlists". Once followed, the heart shows on the Win10 app, but it shows as "following" on the Android app. I'll keep playing around with it. How do I add the playlist to the C4 app as a preset? I can't find that functionality in the Android C4 OS3 app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dcovach Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Select the Spotify Connect icon in the C4 app. Any presets that show up there can be selected for "Favorite To Room" msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select your playlist in the mobile Spotify app and play it. Now go to the C4 app and SELECT the large music icon (top left) of the music (the playlist you just started in the Spotify mobile app) that is currently playing in the room. Look towards the right of the word Queue and select the 3 horizontal lines icon. Save New Preset. Rename it if you wish and click "Go" on the pop up keyboard.\ Now click the Spotify icon in the C4 app and your preset should be there. Select your preset and an option to Favorite To Room will be there. Done. TVC15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also implementing the Epic-Systems Echo driver to run it all with Alexa commands. I have the TV coming on to either Cable, Chromecast, or AppleTV. Next step is to get Spotify/C4 working and then add Alexa commands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
