basic usage

Hey, first of all - sorry for opening such a stupid issue.

I have a problem understanding how I am supposed to use this. I have spotifyd installed on my RPi 0 W and it works flawlessly. I've then installed this tool through pip (tried with and without root), created the config file with all the credentials:

• client_id and secret is pretty straightforward,
• then the device_name, I suppose it's the one I set in spotifyd, but I'm not sure,
• redirect_uri, left as it is,
• and the real problem - socket_path. I initially left it as it was by default, but when I tried issuing any command to the spotify-cmd it just errored out. The error was that it couldn't find the .sock file, so I created a dummy file in /tmp named exactly as it is in the default config. After that I was met with another error, but different this time, it just was a connection error with the daemon.

What am I doing wrong here? I feel like I missed an important step, but I really can't figure it out. I suppose the tool should have a daemon itself, but I'm not really sure. Any help would be appreciated and of course I can supply logs if it's needed.

I'm sorry for answering so late, I missed your issue. There is no need to change socket path, this default should work. How I use it:

1. I run spotifyd that creates a device.
2. I run spotify-cmd-daemon. You can use --foreground to see if there are any errors.
3. I run spotify-cmd with commands, it connects do spotify-cmd-daemon

I don't know what's the issue, you could provide some errors, it would be easier to find the problem.
