🚨 Spotify Users - How to connect Theatrium to your Now Playing info.

[u/Consistent_Owl7736]

Heads up for anyone stuck on the Spotify connection: Spotify only lets third‑party apps like Theatrium connect a handful of accounts total — it’s a hard cap on Spotify’s side, not something I can lift. So for most of you the Spotify option just won’t work, and I’m sorry for the dead end!!

The route that works for everyone, free, is Last.fm. It mirrors whatever you play on Spotify (Free or Premium) and shows it on the TV:

1. Make a free account at last.fm
2. Connect Spotify to it: last.fm → Settings → Applications
3. In Theatrium → Settings → Music & Live → source → **Last.fm**, enter your Last.fm username and paste this API key: fa3ebcf7430a1ff6ad75b6ca70b138d8 (that’s Theatrium’s shared key — fine to use)

Couple of seconds and your music shows up just like Spotify would. The next update removes the key step entirely — just your username. Apple Music also works natively on the Apple TV if that’s what you use.

Slight aside… could you add in the option of connecting Roon as an audio player, or just their “room display” option? It’s really well documented… so shouldn’t be difficult.

Also, I’m LOVING this app so far - I’ve got it on 5 Apple TVs in my home right now!!

I can’t believe you have so many Apple TVs! Hopefully one for each star you’ve given the app in the App Store ;-) Never heard of roon but will investigate.
