Question

is it possible, from an spotify application, to hide or overwrite the “now playing” pannel (the cover and artist name/track name of the playing track) ?

Thx, for your help.

I try to modify the Album object or the Track object provided to the player but it don’t work :

models.Album.fromURI("spotify:album:3ty039P7JO7bTcWtWi1AP6", function(a) {  
var player = new v.Player();
var track = a.get(0);
//a.artist = "TOTO";
//a.cover = "sp://import/img/placeholders/300-album.png";       
//track.image = 'sp://import/img/placeholders/300-album.png';
track.name = "Test";
player.play(track,a);   
});

This is not possible in the current API, mainly because we don’t want people overwriting now playing information with adverts and stuff.
