BK's Script for setting currently playing song from spotify in slack

Slack-Spotify-Status.md

You can have this run automatically on your mac using the native launchd system if you want ...(see the spotify_song.sh file below). Or just start it manually to share what you're listening to. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Drop the following PLIST into ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.slack-spotify.plist:

The filename must match the string under Label, replace /PATH/TO/SCRIPT.sh with an actual path to the .sh script above.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.user.slack-spotify</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array><string>/PATH/TO/SCRIPT.sh</string></array>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
        <key>StartInterval</key>
        <integer>60</integer>
    </dict>
</plist>

Since this also runs on its own timer, remove the following 3 lines from the .sh script:

while true; do
    sleep 60
done

Register this daemon with launchd by running

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.slack-spotify.plist

start it by either logging out and back in or running

launchctl start com.user.slack-spotify
