Show HN: Spotlist.TV – Play Spotify Playlists on YouTube
- alfg 11y agoJust sharing a side-project I've been hacking on lately while playing with the Spotify API. I like viewing music video playlists on Youtube, but I prefer the content curation of Spotify. So hence the idea to mesh them together. It's also open-source: https://github.com/alfg/spotlistTV https://github.com/alfg/spotlistTV
- kzisme 11y agoThis is a cool concept especially for anyone that enjoys music videos. What was the toughest design/implementation issue you had to overcome for this project? Nice Job!
- alfg 11y agoThanks for checking it out. The app wasn't too difficult to implement since Youtube and Spotify have decent APIs I can use. However, I would like to get better accuracy on the music videos to exclude things such as song covers, lyric videos, etc... Still working on improving that part. I suppose I could use something like imvdb.com, but I would still like to fallback to a song if the video doesn't exist.
- kzisme 11y agoI was wondering how you went about selecting specific videos, and clicking through it found mostly the "Official" Vevo releases and such.
