ssh control

[oyztein]

Hi

When trying to control Spotify running in the background under another account (on the same or different computer) over ssh I get the following error message:

execution error: Spotify got an error: Application isn’t running. (-600)

It works fine if the account running Spotify is active. Is it any way to have SpotifyControl control Spotify running in the background on another account that is not currently active?

You can't affect the process that is being run by another user account. I don't think I can do anything about that. You have to be logged in and running Spotify, and then you can log in with that same username to control it.

Ok, its a bit weird because when logging in to account2 with ssh in terminal within account1 without previously logging in to the account using fast user switching, I get the error message "execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)"

If I then log in to account2 with fast user switching and try the same command again in account1's terminal, Spotify opens in the background in account2, and there is no error message.

but when trying to send the command 'spotify next' I then get the error message "execution error: Spotify got an error: Application isn’t running. (-600)"

I have the same issue. Just that I am actually accessing the computer on which Spotify is running, over SSH but connecting with the same user. I.e. I only ever have one single user in play, abd I still get the "Application isn't running" error message. Any thoughts?
