SteamVR-Spotify

SteamVR-Spotify makes the Spotify Web Player available as a dashboard app. Please read all of the following instructions

Installation & Startup

Download the latest version from the Releases page. Unpack the archive to a location, where you have write-access (for example the user folder). This is important, because the browser needs to create a cache to save your session. Open the file SteamVR-Spotify.exe.config with a text editor and enter your Spotify credentials by replacing the placeholders:

<setting name="user" serializeAs="String">
    <value>[USER HERE]</value>
</setting>
<setting name="password" serializeAs="String">
    <value>[PASSWORD HERE]</value>
</setting>

Since the keyboard emulation works now, this step is no longer mandatory, but faster. Now start SteamVR-Spotify.exe while SteamVR is running. The dashboard app will now appear, when you click your System Button. At first startup, you also need to solve the Google Captcha to log in. SteamVR-Spotify will now automatically start each time you start up SteamVR. To uninstall simply remove or move the application folder.

Usage & Features

IMPORTANT! Due to DRM reasons, the dashboard app can't play music itself yet. Instead you need to start up Spotify on your PC separatly (Browser or Desktop app). You can then select your PC as a playback device in the dashboard app (should be default). After this, you can use Spotify normally by using your trigger to do a left-click. A Steam notification will show the current song.
