One-time Setup Guide (Spotify Premium Required)
This integration requires a small setup procedure, but only needs to be done once. We need to authorise your Spotify account to interact with DFU, this can only be done by clicking on an 'Agree' popup from Spotify.
We require 3 things to authenticate:
Client ID,
Client Secret and
Refresh Token. It's an easy process and I'll guide you through it.
Firstly go to
https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/login and click Login, use your standard Spotify credentials.
Click on 'Create an App', and enter a name and description (call it whatever you like), agree to the terms and click Create.
Your Client ID and Client Secret are now available on the left:

Click on the 'Edit Settings' button, then copy this link address:
https://getyourspotifyrefreshtoken.hero ... m/callback and paste into the Redirect URIs field, click 'Add' and then 'Save' at the bottom of the pop up.

Now browse to
https://getyourspotifyrefreshtoken.herokuapp.com/, enter your Client ID and Client Secret into the relevant fields
and then click 'Select All' to make sure all the scope checkboxes are ticked, then click 'Submit'.

Click 'Agree' on the Spotify prompt, and you should now be redirected back to a page with your Refresh Token.
Client Id, Client Secret, and Refresh Token all need to be pasted into the relevant fields in your DFU mod settings file, you can't just paste these in the mod settings screen unfortunately (Ctrl-V doesn't seem to work in DFU yet), so you will need to go directly to the json file. This can be found in:
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\LocalLow\Daggerfall Workshop\Daggerfall Unity\Mods\GameData\02e9fd2d-25cc-42d3-8d0b-b2e2937ef827
If this directory doesn't exist yet, you may need to open and close DFU with the dfmod installed.
That's it! Your Refresh Token should last forever, so you shouldn't need to go through any of this procedure again.
General Usage Guide
Make sure your Spotify application is running on your computer, and is ready to play before starting DFU. I recommend turning your shuffle on, but that's up to you. Spotify will start playing when you load / start a game.
Ensure your credentials have been entered into your mod settings as described in the Setup guide above. You can check those fields are populated by checking your mod settings as normal.
Please try out the default playlist Ids first before changing them, they are set to play some Elder Scrolls music.
The mod will set your music to 0 on startup, and then look for active Spotify computer apps running on your account, so make sure you don't have multiple computers running Spotify. (I plan to add a device id to the settings)
(Doing that is as simple as changing the playlist Id in the mod settings)
