Hi,

I apologise in advance if I'm misunderstanding something here, so I'm not sure if I need to be guided to the right place, or request a feature.

I came across this while searching for a way to "Search Spotify" by artist, Album or track. Reading through your integration, you indicate that searching is available. So I've installed it and when I browse media, I see the same thing I had before from the standard spotify media browser, like for like, the only difference between my Spotify_user integration and my SpotifyPlus_user integration, is a new section called "Made for you". But nothing else that I can find....

What I was hoping for was what guided me to you to start with, and that's still the ability to search Artist, Album, Track... from within the media browser, and see a list of x number of matching results. Have a missed something in my installation steps?

Spotify integration for media_player.spotify_myuser

Spotify integration for media_player.spotifyplus_myuser

Thanks

Jody

Hi Jody.

To answer your question, the underlying services exist in the SpotifyPlus integration to perform Spotify searches. The issue is that no-one has developed a custom card (e.g. user-interface) to take advantage of the service calls ... yet anyway. Note that it will probably not exist in the native HA Media Browser card, but in something similar.

I am currently experimenting with custom card development for my SoundTouchPlus integration, and will eventually create something similar for the SpotifyPlus integration, but I am not there yet.
