Where can I ask questions or report bugs?.Once Festify supports Spotify connect playback, however, you could set Festify to control the Spotify Desktop application, and that does support crossfades. The Web Playback SDK does not currently support crossfading tracks and neither can we access the music data directly so that we could implement crossfades ourselves (as we did in the first version of Festify that was based on libspotify, that is now defunct). Can I set Festify to crossfade between tracks?įestify uses the Spotify Web Playback SDK under the hood, and as such, we are limited to the functionality it provides.Integrating a music provider, however, is a lot of work so we have no precise plans yet. We intend to add support for other music providers (like Apple Music or Deezer) in the future. Which music providers does Festify support?įestify works with Spotify.

We have applied for the closed beta already and are currently awaiting response / invitation. Stay tuned though, we’ll release it in the future.Īs we are very active Sonos users ourselves, we’d surely like to have that kind of functionality! Sonos is planning on opening a developer platform in 2018, which we hope, will allow us to finally provide Sonos support. We’re still working on integrating Spotify Connect, but at the moment it is not stable enough to be released.

When Spotify updates their systems to support Safari, we will update Festify to display the button again. To avoid confusing users, we thus have hidden the “Create Party” button in affected browsers. This also applies to all other browsers on iOS because they’re just Safari with a different branding. Safari is not supported at all, unfortunately, because it doesn’t support the DRM scheme Spotify uses. Spotify is currently working on making the playback APIs work even if you don’t use it.

Android devices (as of April 2018) can also play music if you open Festify in the “Desktop Mode” of your browser. Out of the box, you can play music in Google Chrome and Firefox on desktop devices. When playing music, Festify needs to interact with the Spotify Web Playback APIs, which have their own restrictions and caveats.

But any other browser that is based on one of them (like Opera, which is based on Google Chrome) works just as well. Our personal recommendations are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari. That is, every common browser except for Internet Explorer. This is a limitation from Spotify we unfortunately have no influence over.įestify supports all so-called ‘evergreen’ browsers. Third party apps (like Festify) may only access Spotify’s music catalogue through Spotify Premium accounts.
