librespot-golang
Introduction
librespot-golang is an opensource Golang library based on the librespot project,
allowing you to control Spotify Connect devices, get metadata, and play music. It has itself been based on
SpotControl, and its main goal is to provide a suitable replacement
for the defunct libspotify.
This is still highly experimental and in development. Do not use it in production projects yet, as the API is incomplete
and subject to heavy changes.
Installation
This package can be installed using:
git clone github.com/librespot-org/librespot-golang
or by using it as a dependency in your godep vendor file.
Usage
To use the package look at the example micro-controller (for Spotify Connect), or micro-client (for audio playback).
Building for mobile
The package librespotmobile
contains bindings suitable for use with Gomobile, which lets you use a subset of the
librespot library on Android and iOS.
To get started, install gomobile, and simply run (for Android):
cd /path/to/librespot-golang
export GOPATH=$(pwd)
gomobile init -ndk /path/to/android-ndk
gomobile bind librespotmobile
This will build you a file called librespotmobile.aar
which you can include in your Android Studio project.
To-Do's
