[]You will need to provide your own Spotify developer keys for Spotify to function. Run FSRadio and click on the Settings icon in the lower right corner.
- Visit the Spotify Developer Dashboard to create or find your Spotify developer keys. Ensure that your Spotify application has a Redirect URI for http://localhost:51000 and http://localhost:51000/ (yes, you need one with and without the trailing slash). This URI is used to pass the Authentication Token from Spotify back to FSRadio.
FSRadio will run in the system tray. Right click on the system tray icon to show or close the server application. Additionaly, you may double-click on the system tray icon to show it. FSRadio will pop up the first time it is launched. Subsequent launches of FSRadio will load minimized into the system tray. After entering your Spotify developer keys, FSRadio will open an embedded browser in order for you to authenticate and give permissions for it to pull information from your Spotify account. After that, refreshing the token should happen without any user intervention. If, for some reason, FSRadio is unable to get a token it will popup and show the embedded web browser. This usually occurs if you need to reauthenticate with Spotify, e.g., your Spotify password changed.
F. A. Q.
Q. Do I still need Spotify installed?
A. Yes you do. The Spotify interface is simply a remote control that controls Spotify. If you want to hear Spotify in your headphones along with the MSFS 2020 game sound, you will need to have Spotify installed and running on the same computer.
Q. Why do I need to provide my Secret ID as well as my Client ID?
A. By default Spotify authentication will pass the authorization token back to your web browser via a URL hash. Because we can't authenticate from within MSFS, because of the aforementioned iFrame issue, we have to get the authentication from a URL parameter. Since URL hashes are not visible to the server we must provice the Secret ID so that Spotify passes the token back as a standard URL parameter.
Q. What port does FSRadio use?
Q. If I forward port 2112 from my router and open an incoming firewall rule, can an external browser access FSRadio?
A. No. Binding is to localhost (127. 0. 0. 1) only.
Q. My favorite streaming radio station is not listed. Can I add my own stations?
A. Yes you can. Simply right click on the list view and select "New Station..."
Q. Will other users see stations that I add?
A. No. Only you have access to the stations that you add, though I reserve the right to move them to the public list if I like them.
Q. If I delete a station, does that affect all users?
A. No. Adds, deletes, and updates only affect you.
Q. Can I use a base64 encoded image string for the station icon?
A. Absolutely! If there is one thing that I can't stand it is broken image links. This method elminates th
