it stopped working at some point, im not sure why
either youtube changed something or there needs to be more steps for the vlc install…
Yes, you are right said.
Spotify stopped working at some point.
Youtube changed any blob url or what else?
Spotify should be ok, it’s been reactivated so should be usable again.

I use MPD on the server with Cantata on the client. Would be fantastic if this skill could work with one/both of these.

Sorry, but is a premium account necessary to use the spotify skill? I have a free one, is it possible to configure with it?
Hi @Patata unfortunately you must have a Premium Spotify Skill in order to use the Mycroft Spotify Skill. This is a limitation of the Spotify API - we can only access it if the user has a Premium account.
Ok, I undertand. Is there any other streaming music service that allows to develop a skill?
Bandcamp and soundcloud are services I’d like to see getting a skill.

Great work as usual @Jarbas_Ai, unfortunately this isn’t submitted to the mycroft-skills repo, so it won’t be available for voice installation.
none of my skills are…
im going to make a tool to auto handle skill submission, then ill get all my skills there
hopefully ill find the time for auto tests and py3 migration

Excuse @KathyReid, but is there any reason for this?
Could you validate and verify the skills developed by Jarbas and include them in the mycroft-skills repo? Or this is not possible?
Hi @Patata, the Skill Author must first submit them, then they go through a Skill Acceptance Process.
As for a voice assistant I’d ask of something different than just “play pause bla”
Features I’d love to see instead are more AI
"suggest me some genres".
“let me try genre xyz”
“I like genre xyz” (remember this for the next point)
“list my favorite genres”
“play something XYZ” (relaxing, happy, moody…)
“play something else that is XYZ” (relaxing, happy, moody…)
“play more like that”
“what’s the genre for that song”
“like the song”
“dislike the song”
“delete from my library”
“add to my library” (and tag it to a playlist mycroft so I can categorize it later on the client if I want"
etc.
Make it smart. Make it AI 
i would not mind at all for someone else to submit my skills, that way i can spend my time making more skills!
i have so many skills, i need to find quite some time to get them up to date (py3 and tests)
I like the way you think @dottedfish.
Taking this a step further, you could also imagine understanding the user’s patterns and pre-empting a request:
It's been a long day for you $NAME, shall I play some $GENRE music?

Sorry to drag up an old post, but some of this isn’t as difficult as it initially looks.
You have the Get a User’s Top Artists and Tracks endpoint which, funnily enough gives you artists and tracks based on the users past plays.
Then from that you get the seeds (or artist/genre ids to cut the naff lingo) and use them on the Get Recommendations Based on Seeds endpoint
I have yet to really look into or test this, but when I get a free moment I’ll have a play. I’d like to expand the Spotfiy skill at some point…

Spotify Idea submission for an official Spotify skill for Mycroft:
Go vote for an official Spotify skill for Mycroft!!! 
if anyone has good suggestions for wording I’d be happy to change it.
just curious if it’s possible to get spotify plays
