Issues with Triggering Spotify Player Using Hyperaudio Plugin

[ataha24]

I appreciate the recent update that allows linking transcripts with Spotify in the hyperaudio plugin. However, I'm encountering difficulties in activating the Spotify player from my embedded code. The documentation does not provide specific instructions for this integration, so I assumed the standard syntax would apply.

Here's what I've attempted:

1. I retrieved the embed code for my media from Spotify.
2. I linked the transcript on my website using two methods:

a) With the player specified:
[hyperaudio src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/0J7C9SIIwQvARa9WDmtOxB" font-family="Arial" show-active="true" player="Spotify"]

b) Wihout player specified:
[hyperaudio src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/0J7C9SIIwQvARa9WDmtOxB" font-family="Arial" show-active="true"]

Unfortunately, neither approach triggered the Spotify player. Attached is a screenshot showing the output. It seems that the hyperaudio plugin might not be properly invoking the Spotify player.

Could you please advise on the correct approach or any additional steps I need to take? If there's any further information you need, I'm happy to provide it.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @ataha24. Try removing /embed from your Spotify URLs. Hope it's ok if I move this to discussions so others with similar issues can benefit from this answer.

Hi, I wanted to follow-up re this issue. Thanks!

You need to make sure it is categorised as an episode ie https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XAhcdJTXoffuDZglrEbSj Feel free to share a link to the url you are trying to embed and I will try and debug.

I see! I think the one I am working with is tagged as an episode. Here is the link to it: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0J7C9SIIwQvARa9WDmtOxB. Thank you so much!

This seems to be working for me @ataha24 .

Try modifying this Spotify example to include your episode and see how you get on. https://hyperaudio.github.io/hyperaudio-lite/spotify.html (https://github.com/hyperaudio/hyperaudio-lite/blob/main/spotify.html)

Ahh, yes will play around there as recommended and see what happens!
Though, I am interfacing with the wp-plugin so wondering if there was an issue with how I configued it there (please see above re unexpected behaviour with player on the wp side of things).
Thanks :)
