Not necessary, did the work for you

Hi @shivasiddharth ,

I like your project and would like to tribute a little seeing I had a problem getting YouTube to work right.
First of when I changed the language to Dutch I only got some weird link and after troubleshooting I found out that Play has not been translated to the best word

So if possible please change keywords_nl.yaml so that Play: 'spelen' is changed to Play: 'speel'
This because spelen is plural to speel and you want to play one thing.

After that I ran into the 'dislike_count' error I have seen people mention before.
I found out that this problem resides within pafy.

If you go into backend_youtube_dl.py and comment "self._dislikes = self._ydl_info['dislike_count']" verything works great.
This may be because of the changes YouTube made to counteract the dislike wars.

Hope this helps, keep up the great work!!

[shivasiddharth]

I fixed the YouTube issue sometime back. SO its should work now.
It would be great if you can take a look into the https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi/blob/master/src/keywords_nl.yaml keywords file suggest changes to make it close the actual language !

For me downloading 5.0 it did not. So maybe you can update the releases?
Attached I have also included the altered keywords_nl document, I don't know if you support multiple translations for all values so check the changed information to see if you support it in your code.

I've also noticed that GassistPi crashes if you say 'from Spotify' wrong. So if you would say "Play ... on Spotify" (in Dutch) the application crashes and starts up again. I will try and find the problem, correct it, and come back to this issue to inform you of the changes I made.

I have changed the setup script for the pafy (dislike) issue. It will install a fork of the pafy git.

Do not try the Bullseye yet ! Its a mess.

[ContraNL]

I know, I first started out this project with Bullseye but after trying to change your code as well as that of Magic Mirror I soon realised I would have to rewrite too much. Therefor I reflashed to Buster.

I hope to have some time for the Spotify crash tomorrow. Will let you know.

[shivasiddharth]

Spotify has changed a bit. You need to mention the localhost:8888 address in the app that you create online. After you enable Spotify in the config file, and when you start the assistant for first time, you will be prompted for authentication. If 8888 port is not working change it to 8080.

[ContraNL]

I know, I followed your guide and found the option when clicking on edit at the created app.
When I login and say remember login that part works.

I even see the Playlist names in the log but after that it crashes.

[ContraNL]

I have re-authenticated after the shutdown last time and everything regarding Spotify is working now.
Is there a way so you don't have to re-authenticate everytime the raspberry has a shutdown for a day or more?

I want to use this as a Magic Mirror project and as such it won't be started every day. I want to power it on using a button connected to a smart plug that will start the pi as well as the display.

Hope to hear from you.

Spotify authentication needs to be done once only as per my experience I last time used it. But, Google assistant needs to be re-authenticated frequently. Thats because, Google decided to modify something.
