Play help?

[Dr Steve Huckle]

Hi,

How do you actually play a track, once you've returned something from searchTracks? I'm currently trying something like this:

    if (tracks.length) {
          spotify.play(tracks[0].uri, function ( err, data ) {
              if (err) {
                  console.error(err)
              } else {
                  console.log(tracks[0].uri)
              }
          })
      }

But I get TypeError: cannot use 'in' operator to search for "device_id" in "spotify:track:5t..." Yada yada yada. I've tried a few things - apologies if I'm being a bit of a dullard and missing something obvious - I can usually figure this stuff out!

Anyway - feature request? Some examples of actually playing stuff as I can't seem to find any.

Eek!

Ooo - I'm getting closer:

spotify.play({uris: tracks[0].uri}, function ( err, data )...

getting a 400, malformed json error now, but it's an improvement!

Aha, and this is even closer:

spotify.play({uris: [tracks[0].uri]}

Now it's complaining about no active device...

Okay - I got it working, but I don't know how practical it all is. Basically, I used the console to get me a player token with all the permissions set. That meant I could do this:

if (tracks.length) {
          spotify.getMyDevices( function ( err, data ) {
              if (err) {
                  console.error("oi: ", err)
              } else {
                  spotify.play({device_id: data.devices[0].id, uris: [tracks[0].uri]}, function ( err, data ) {
                      if (err) {
                          console.error(err)
                      } else {
                          console.log(tracks[0].uri)
                      }
                  })
              }
          })
      }

Closing since this is not an issue that needs to be addressed in this library/wrapper.
