Background audio player plugin

@james215

You can do this in core if your audio files are being stored on your server :

However, I would recommend using a cloud service such as SoundCloud or Spotify and then embed the audio.

Thank you for the information. I was wondering if there is a way to embed my playlist using Google Play music instead of Spotify as I already have a subscription with Google Play Muisic

@james215

No, you can’t do this with Google Play playlists.

That sucks. Alright I will be opening a Spotify Account. I will keep this ticket open for a few days as I may have other questions.

I have created the play, but when I attempt to generate the embed code from the below website the iframe code will not generate. I have provided my playlist code. Again thank you in advance for your help

Spotify Playlist Code

@james215

Works as expected for me :

You’ll need to provide the URL where you have tried to implement.

I was able to get it embedded correctly, but is there a way to shrink the player and add autoplay code to the iframe code so when the player opens it starts automatically. I have done my research before asking you this and have come up empty

@james215

I’m no expert, you should ask in the Spotify forums.
I took a quick look at their API and didn’t see any sort of endpoint to kick off auotplay from a URI.

Looks like there is from their SDK tho :

But ya, find a Spotify forum to ask I would say.
