Starlord Recognition App

A web application that generates a Spotify playlist based on a screenshot with a result from a Google query.

Background

I only built this as my refusal to download extra apps (Shazam in this case) on my very outdated and out-of-memory phone. Naturally, the most "practical" way to go was spent a few afternoons building this not-very-useful app!

Workflow

1. Scan a provided screenshot or list of screenshots for the track name (currently not very robust)
2. Find the track in Spotify
3. Create a playlist if it doesn't exist
4. Add the track to the dedicated playlist

2. Create the virtualenv virtualenv starlord-venv
3. Activate the virtualenv ./{virtualenv_name}/Scripts/activate
4. Run pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Navigate to the src directory
6. Run flask run -p 8080

Running Tests

From the project directory, run: pytest -W ignore::DeprecationWarning

TODO

• UI is lacking (missing)
• Google assistant responses might have changed. Update track name lookup to be more robust
