GNOME Shell Spotify Controller

This extension started as a clone of the Spotify Label Extension that I adapted quite a bit. Credit to Marcus Heine (@mheine) for the majority of the code here.

• Prerequisites
• License

Use this GNOME Shell extension to skip, toggle playback and restart/backtrack the current song. This works well with the Spotify Label Extension, as seen on the left of the example below*

* I have customised my installation of the Spotify Label extension, see issue #1 for more info (doesn't work on gnome 40+)

Installation

The easiest way to install is by:

but you can manually install it (commands):

• Clone the repo

  git clone https://github.com/koolskateguy89/gnome-shell-extension-spotify-controller.git

• cd into the repo directory

  cd gnome-shell-extension-spotify-controller

• Copy the extension into your extensions folder (or make a symbolic link if you want)

  cp -R spotify-controller@koolskateguy89 ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

  OR

  ln -s "$(pwd)/spotify-controller@koolskateguy89" ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

• Restart GNOME Shell or logout then log back in

  To restart GNOME Shell: Press Alt+F2 then type 'r' (no quotes) and press enter

• Enable the extension

  gnome-extensions enable spotify-controller@koolskateguy89

If you copied the extension, you can delete the repo folder (cd .. && rm -r gnome-shell-extension-spotify-controller)
