# slackify

Slack bot to play/queue Spotify



Used&Tested daily in our office with a simple setup. Install on a box connected to speakers and enjoy.



## Features

- Searching spotify

- Playing songs

- Queueing songs

- Random song from queue history if queue is empty



## Settings

Create a file called ```slackbot_settings.py``` with the following contents

```python

# Slackbot settings

API_TOKEN = ''

# Force bot to only work on a single channel

FIXED_CHANNEL = 'music'

# Spotify settings

SPOTIFY_USERNAME = ''

SPOTIFY_PASSWORD = ''

SPOTIFY_MARKET = 'NL'



# Folder with the slack commands

PLUGINS = ['plugins']

```



## Installation



### Ubuntu



#### Slack

Install PIP package for python (lins05/slackbot)

```

sudo apt-get install python-pip

sudo pip install -r requirements

```

##### Generate the slack api token



First you need to get the slack api token for your bot. You have two options:



1. If you use a [bot user integration](https://api.slack.com/bot-users) of slack, you can get the api token on the integration page.

2. If you use a real slack user, you can generate an api token on [slack web api page](https://api.slack.com/web).



##### Configure the api token



Then you need to configure the `API_TOKEN` in the python module `slackbot_settings.py`.



#### Spotify

Follow pyspotify installation on https://pyspotify.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/



or in short:

```

wget -q -O - https://apt.mopidy.com/mopidy.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

sudo wget -q -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mopidy.list https://apt.mopidy.com/jessie.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python-spotify

```



Get a binary spotify application key and store it in the main folder: https://devaccount.spotify.com/my-account/keys/



Finally install the correct audio driver:

```

sudo apt-get install python-alsaaudio

```



### OSX



Follow instructions for Ubuntu and read the source websites for the spotify python library.



The audio driver for OSX is PyAudio:

```

pip install pyaudio

```



OSX should be detected and use this library, although this is untested



## Commands



### Play

To play a song

```

@slackify: play 

```

To pause or continue

```

@slackify: pause

@slackify: play

```

To stop playing

```

@slackify: stop

```



### Search

```

@slackify: search 

```

To play a song from a search result use:

```

@slackify: play 

```

Search results are stored per user, you can only play from your own search result



### Queueing

### Related

When a song is playing you can query related artists and their top songs

```

@slackify: related

```

Now you can play/queue the result like a normal search



By default the player will continue playing songs you queued before (random mode).

You can however toggle to related mode. Now the player will pick a random related artist

and play one of its top tracks.



To view the current mode

```

@slackify: mode

```

Change the mode:

```

@slackify: mode related

@slackify: mode random

```
