Hi, I used the example dash to do some music controls, but they will not control Spotify, and they do not show sound history. The internal music player works fine with my dash. The example dash will not control Spotify either. I did go into Spotify and tell it to broadcast songs. Is controlling other music players supported in RealDash? If so, what could I possibly be doing wrong? ---

Controlling the playback of other music players should work just by selecting a player in Settings-\>User-\>Music Player. Although, Album art, playback list only works when RealDash is the music player. You do have to allow RealDash to access your device notifications as playback control is done thru them. Check that first. ---

All those settings are correct. This is really weird then. Anything else that it could be? ---

Nvm I found a well-hidden option for this in settings. Controls work now. ---

Hi, I tried using the sample dashboard for media controls, but it doesn’t seem to work with Spotify, and I can’t see any playback history either. The built-in player works perfectly with the dash, but Spotify control still fails. I even enabled the broadcast option in Spotify. Does RealDash support external music players like Spotify? If yes, what might I be missing? ---

Hi, I tried using the sample dashboard for media controls, but it doesn’t seem to work with Spotify MOD APK latest version, and I can’t see any downloaded playlists either. The built-in player works fine with the dash, but Spotify MOD control still fails. I even enabled all permissions in the app. Does RealDash support modified Spotify versions? If yes, what might I be missing? Google Search : Spotify Premium Seruapk ---

> [@kingiotai](#): > > Does RealDash support modified Spotify versions? I do not know if modified version works and we do not have resources to test on them. Official Spotify integration on Android should work perfectly fine now.
