# Spotify widget
This widget displays currently playing song on [Spotify for Linux](https://www.spotify.com/download/linux/) client: ![screenshot](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM/blob/master/spotify-widget/spo-wid-1.png?raw=true).
This widget displays currently playing song on [Spotify for Linux](https://www.spotify.com/download/linux/) client: ![screenshot](./spo-wid-1.png) and consists of two parts:
- status icon which shows if music is currently playing
- artist and name of the current song playing
## Controls
- left click - play/pause
- scroll up - play next song
- scroll down - play previous song
## Dependencies
Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be [installed](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme#installation) first under **/usr/share/icons/Arc/** folder.
Also this widget uses the output of the **spotify_stat** script which could be found in the widget folder.
## Installation
First you need to have spotify CLI installed. To do it put following file under **/usr/local/bin** and make it executable:
```bash
git clone https://gist.github.com/fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3.git
sudo mv ./fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3/sp /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sp
```
First you need to have spotify CLI installed. Here is how you can do it (except widget part): [pavelmakhov.com/2016/02/awesome-wm-spotify](http://pavelmakhov.com/2016/02/awesome-wm-spotify)
To use this widget put **spotify.lua** under **~/.config/awesome/** and add it in **rc.lua**:
{% highlight lua %}
```lua
require("spotify")
...
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget

```
## Troubleshooting
_Status icon (play/pause) is not shown_:
- make **spotify_stat** script executable (by `sudo chmod +x spotify_stat`) and run it in terminal, output should be either `RUNNING` or `CORKED`;
- the **spotify_stat** script is called by **spotify.lua** so make sure that `get_spotify_status_cmd` in **spotify.lua** contains the right path to the script;
- create an issue :octocat:.
