If accessing SoulSync from a different machine than where it's running:
- Set your Spotify callback URL to
http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback - Open SoulSync settings and click authenticate
- Complete Spotify authorization - you'll be redirected to
http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback?code=SOME_CODE_HERE - If the page fails to load, edit the URL to use your actual SoulSync IP:
- Change:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback?code=SOME_CODE_HERE - To:
http://192.168.1.5:8888/callback?code=SOME_CODE_HERE
- Change:
- Press Enter and authentication should complete
Note: Spotify only allows 127.0.0.1 as a local redirect URI, hence this workaround. You may need to repeat this process after rebuilding containers.
