Spotify

Spotify's desktop client is the last tile on the screenshot home screen.

Config

entries:
  - title: Spotify
    subtitle: Music
    command: [spotify]

That starts the official Linux client. Login and Playlists stay in Spotify’s own config.

If Spotify is a Flatpak

    command: [flatpak, run, com.spotify.Client]

The Flathub id is com.spotify.Client.

Notes

  • The icon is looked up as Spotify.

  • If a Spotify instance is already running, the new command may hand off and exit. Set restoreOnExit: false in that case, as with Steam.

  • The client is a desktop app, not the TV leanback site. For a browser kiosk instead, use the same pattern as YouTube with https://open.spotify.com.

  • Output is appended to ~/.cache/biscuittin/spotify.log.
