I am using Home Assistant and have a Spotify account added for each family member added to MA (all with a different name), is there a way for me to specify in a Home Assistant script the provider I would like MA to use? i would like to avoid the kids music messing up my Spotify :) |

What is happening that is messing up your Spotify? Playlists should be played using the source Spotify account. |

It's not the playlist, it's when an artist is selected, it will be available via all Spotify accounts setup as a provider so I was looking in to if it's possible to set it up so that when daughter 1 presses the button on HA to play a particular artist it uses her account and it doesnt use daughter 2 account who may not like that artist. |

When you say “when an artist is selected” do you mean when an artist is added to the library? If so, there isn’t a way to do what you ask as there are no “users” within MA. I can change this to a feature request if I correctly understand what you are asking for? |

I was meaning in home assistant when i specify an artist i wanted to know if i could tell it to use a particular provider setup in MA. I have only recently setup MA and it looks like i may have wrongly assumed it would show in spotify that the first provider int eh list was playing music but it doesn't seem to so i think my assumptions may have confused everything. i will continue running it. it was super straight forward to setup and is working well :)

The only reason you need all three Spotify accounts is if you want access to the playlists from each. MA takes all providers and combines them into one combined database and then makes them opaque. You cannot specify a provider, MA makes it own decisions about which provider to use. |

Since Spotify only allows one stream per account, it would be fantastic to be able to specify which Spotify account to use as a source, so that we can stream from two different spotify accounts to two different speakers at the same time. |
