ovos-media-provider-spotify

This is an OVOS MediaProvider plugin for Spotify. It replaces the search half of the deprecated OCP search skill ovos-skill-spotify.

The OCP pipeline loads MediaProvider plugins in-process and calls search() directly, instead of broadcasting ovos.common_play.query over the bus and waiting for skills to answer. This plugin queries the Spotify Web API (through spotipy) for tracks, artists, and albums, then converts each track into a mediavocab.Release that carries the spotify: URI.

The ovos-media-plugin-spotify backend handles playback separately. This plugin only does search and catalog lookup. Both plugins share the ocp_spotify OAuth credentials, so no extra configuration is needed when Spotify is already set up.

Install

pip install ovos-media-provider-spotify

The plugin registers itself through the opm.media.provider entry point, so OCP picks it up automatically after install.
