Just spent most of my workday troubleshooting this thing....
Guys, if the shortcut keys don't work reliably, you have to rewrite the script.
From:
spotifyKey("^{Right}")
To:
spotifyKey("{Ctrl Down}{Right}{Ctrl Up}")

I can't get this to work and I feel like I've read the whole thread, any ideas?
Works perfectly, thank you for it!
Just changed the volume control to page up and down with a #IfWinExist condition looking for Spotify.
Modified some of the base functions to make it work with AHK v2
;; Get the handle
getSpotifyHwnd() {
spotifyHwnd := WinGetID("ahk_exe Spotify.exe")
Return spotifyHwnd
}
; Send a key, generic
spotifyKey(key) {
spotifyHwnd := getSpotifyHwnd()
; Chromium ignores keys when it isn't focused.
; Focus the document window without bringing the app to the foreground.
ControlFocus "Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND1", "ahk_id " . spotifyHwnd
ControlSend key, , "ahk_id " . spotifyHwnd
Return
}
; My combination, feel free to change to suit your tastes.
^+Space::{
spotifyKey("{Space}")
Return
}
is there a way to show the spotify overlay? it doesn't show when using these hotkeys

Not working when spotify is minimized.
when spotify is opened in background it works fine.
This is what currently works for me using AHK 1.1 (it will not work if you minimize Spotify).
The keybindings are set at the bottom of the script, currently set to use Winkey and Winkey+Alt modifiers.
DetectHiddenWindows, On
; Get the HWND of the Spotify main window.
getSpotifyHwnd() {
WinGet, spotifyHwnd, ID, ahk_exe spotify.exe
Return spotifyHwnd
}
; Send a key to Spotify.
spotifyKey(key) {
spotifyHwnd := getSpotifyHwnd()
ControlClick, x500 y100, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%, , Left, 1, U
ControlSend, ahk_parent, %key%, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%
}
; Define keybindings here
#x::spotifyKey("^{Left}") ; Previous song
#c::spotifyKey("^{Right}") ; Next song
#Down::spotifyKey("^{Down}") ; Volume down
#Up::spotifyKey("^{Up}") ; Volume up
#Space::spotifyKey("{Space}") ; Play/pause
;#!Space::spotifyKey("!+{b}") ; Like song
#Left::spotifyKey("+{Left}") ; Seek backward
#Right::spotifyKey("+{Right}") ; Seek forward
; Win+Alt+Space: Hotkey to show/focus Spotify
#!Space::
WinActivate, ahk_exe spotify.exe
WinMaximize, ahk_exe spotify.exe
return
to make the controls work when the window is minimized to the taskbar or tray, you need to use winhide
can be done like this
#If OnMy_Close_or_Min_Buttons()
LButton:: Winhide
#If
OnMy_Close_or_Min_Buttons() {
Static MyWindowCriteria := "ahk_exe Spotify.exe" ; change to meet your neeeds
Critical
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
MouseGetPos, X, Y, MID
;ToolTip, mid %mid%
If (WID := WinExist(MyWindowCriteria)) && (WID = MID) {
SendMessage, 0x0084, 0, (X & 0xFFFF) | ((Y & 0xFFFF) << 16) ; WM_NCHITTEST
;Return (ErrorLevel = 20) ; HTCLOSE
;Return (ErrorLevel = 8) ; HTmin
;ToolTip, ErrorLevel %ErrorLevel%
if ((ErrorLevel = "20") or (ErrorLevel = "8"))
{
;ToolTip, test
return true
}
}
Return False
}
and function to send hotkeys is like this
; Send a key to Spotify.
spotifyKey(key) {
;spotifyHwnd := getSpotifyHwnd()
; Chromium ignores keys when it isn't focused.
; Focus the document window without bringing the app to the foreground.

Where should I paste this code? I get an error
«Error at line 23.
Line Text: and function to send hotkeys is like this
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.»
The code above from walbjorn works great!
(and the page author's code does not work for me) It turned out to work, but somehow strangely and every once in a while
what is in line 23?
you can insert this part at the beginning or end of the code

LButton:: Winhide

but additional testing revealed that sometimes this method stops working, I am looking for and trying new approaches that can give permanent work in a collapsed state.

Thought I'd add something that worked for me after much trial and error.
Yesterday I came to a similar approach) until it seems not stop working
spotifyKey(key) {
IfWinNotActive, ahk_exe Spotify.exe

DetectHiddenWindows, on
DetectHiddenText, on
ControlFocus, , , Chrome Legacy Window
ControlSend, ahk_parent , %key%, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1

This code works fine for me with Spotify minimized in tray (!), much to my delight (finally! After months of agony!)
DetectHiddenWindows, On

getSpotifyHwnd() {
WinGet, spotifyHwnd, ID, ahk_exe spotify.exe
Return spotifyHwnd
}
; Send a key to Spotify.
spotifyKey(key) {
spotifyHwnd := getSpotifyHwnd()
; Chromium ignores keys when it isn't focused.
; Focus the document window without bringing the app to the foreground.
ControlFocus, Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND1, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%
ControlSend, , %key%, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%
Return
}
; Ctrl+Shift+q: Play/Pause
^+q::
{
spotifyKey("{Space}")
Return
}
; alt+v: Next
!v::
{
spotifyKey("^{Right}")
Return
}
; alt+z: Previous
!z::
{
spotifyKey("^{Left}")
Return
}
; Ctrl+alt+Up: Volume up
^!Up::
{
spotifyKey("^{Up}")
Return
}
; Ctrl+alt+Down: Volume Down
^!Down::
{
spotifyKey("^{Down}")
Return
}
; Ctrl+: Show Spotify ^::
{
spotifyHwnd := getSpotifyHwnd()
WinGet, style, Style, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%
if (style & 0x10000000) { ; WS_VISIBLE
WinHide, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%
} Else {
WinShow, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%
WinActivate, ahk_id %spotifyHwnd%
}
Return
}
Sometimes it doesn't catch the focus or on the contrary, holds it, but it already trifles for a couple clicks :)
This works great!!! Been finding a solution to this. Thanks!
Been using this for ages and now it no longer seems to be working when the window is hidden using the Win+alt+o: Show Spotify shortcut.
I assume this is due to some Spotify change, but does anyone else have it still working or know what is necessary to resolve it? I've not been able to figure it out so far.

I have already been disappointed many times in the player itself and in the code, because initially everything worked, but then it stopped.
I experimented as much as I could and realized that the code still works, but on one condition: if you delete the player settings every time and log in again every time you start it. Only then does everything work. When you run it again without deleting the settings, nothing works again
im still not sure what the problem would be. im trying to make my numberpad key 7 as volume down and numberpad key 9 as volume up
i want to control that volume.
