Load App.

Ask the Spotify devs if they have some kind of external interface to
let apps do stuff like 'specific play list' and what the details are.

Hi there,
did you have any success with this? I'd be interested in some interaction with Spotify as well,
like setting it to offline when not connected to WIFI and things like that...

Thank you.

I've started looking into actions and intents, but can't find a whole lot of good information to see if that's the right bunny hole to travel down...

Thanks in advance!

The more people that bug them about it the better :-)

You're right, I'll contact them and see how it goes.

Hope this can help you. It works fine on my Xperia Z :

I do this with the application "Media Utilities" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha
When BT connection i open spotify and hit play. It works 98% of the time :)

I use Media Utilities too and it works most of the time.  I do get an occasional "no tracks in playlist" when pressing "next" or that it doesn't auto play, but most of the time it works fine.  I use the BT auto connect app to enable BT when my phone is connected to power, Tasker then enters the car profile on power + BT connected to car.  One of the tasks is to "smart play" Media Utilities.  On exit (power unplugged) Media Utilities "smart stop" and then I exit the Spotify app.

For some reason, my BT connection drops one in awhile, but it's unrelated to Media Utilities/Spotify.

It would be nice if Spotify had a plugin but MU works quite well for a "beta" app.

Maybe this profile could help a little, it asks wether it should open an app, when headphones or earbuds are inserted.

Because I haven't rooted my phone, I had to do a workaround which you can drop if you want to (A8-9)

Profile: Oortjes In (23)
Cooldown: 600
State: Headset Plugged [ Type:Any ]
Enter: Oortjes In (24)
A1: Media Volume [ Level:1 Display:Off Sound:Off ]
A2: Stop [ With Error:Off Task: ] If [ %PACTIVE ~ *Musicapp Var* ]
A3: Menu [ Title:Open app? Background Image: Layout:IconAndTextMenu Timeout (Seconds):30 Show Over Keyguard:Off Items:(3) ]
A4: Wait Until [ MS:10 Seconds:0 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] If [ %spotify Is Set ]
A5: Load App [ App:YouTube Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:Off ] If [ %spotify ~ youtube ]
A6: If [ %spotify ~ spotify ]
A7: Load App [ App:Spotify Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:Off ]
A8: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:10 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A9: Load App [ App:Tasker Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:Off ]
A10: Run Shell [ Command:input keyevent 87 Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:Off Store Output In: Store Errors In: Store Result In: ]
A11: Load App [ App:Spotify Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:Off ]
A12: End If

Hi everyone,

i created an android app to start play spotify on headset/bluetooth device connect. Its currently in Alpa - for free. Anyone testing it would be appreciated ->https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.dasanderl.spotifyautoplay

A feature where you might pass in the playlist which should be played could be added as well, right now the app just resumes where spotify last played.

Bye, Andi

Feature request would be different volumes for different Bluetooth. My car unit i always want it maxed and i adjust volume on my cars head unit but my gym headphones are purely off of the phone sounds so i need it about half way.
