Logitech G15 Spotify App
The Logitech G15 plugin to show what Spotify is playing
I have just purchased an old style blue G15, installed on my Windows 7 PC after downloading the latest software from Logitech and then installed your Sirreal 2.8.1 Everything worked fine for the first 3 days, but then for the past 2 Sirreal is just saying my G15 is unresponsive. My LOTRO and mumble apps work so the keyboard is talking to the PC. Spotify application for logitech G13/G15/G510. Visit the releases page to install this application. This application uses the LogiFrame and Spotify api's.
To use simply download and extract the files. When you run S15.exe it will register with the logitech plugin manager and then start automatically from the location you extracted it to. For that reason you may want to extract it somewhere meaningful like 'C:Program FilesS15'.Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Thanks to the guy (and also Tom Black below) who very helpfully e-mailed me, to let me know how to solve a lot of other users' problems:
Hi paul,
Your plugin worked fine for me, but a lot of people have problems with getting the media keys to work on spotify. I’ve found a simple solution. In windows go to start / config / Windows sideshow disable windows sideshow for media player. This will disable a background service for windows media player. After this mediakeys will react to spotify like desired. So attention of media keys go’s to spotify and not to windows media player. Might want to put this on the website. I came across your website on my search to solve the problem of the mediabuttons.

Logitech G15 Spotify Applet
- The app has been rewritten from scratch.
- Theme system removed because of an incompatibility issue with the new framework.
- Media buttons rewritten: left/right = previous/next, up/down = volume up/down and ok = play/pause. All buttons (except volume) are still sent directly to Spotify.
- Because of the new framework, everything can be nicely animated. The app now renders at 30 FPS.
- Added new Spotify API, the app now displays track time and proper album name and art.
v0.5.3
- Fixed album downloads.
- Please see v0.5.2 for all changes.
v0.5.2
- The softbuttons on the G19 keyboard now have play/stop/next/pause functions assigned to them. These keys are sent directly to Spotify, they will not work/interfere with other media players.
Please note: The volume buttons (Up/Down) do not work yet.
- Donator mode is currently greyed out because it does not function properly.
v0.5.1
- Error reports will now be saved in the sub directory report in the main application folder
- Added retry button in the connection failed dialog when checking for updates
- Added better error message when the app has been disabled in the Logitech Applet Settings dialog. (Instead of driver error blah, blah, blah...)
- Fixed the ridiculously long version number when using the default theme, the correct version number will now be used
- Removed a bug in the album cover system that caused the album artwork to glitch when an advertisement was detected
- Added standard track, title and cover for the example render in the theme manager. I hope this will make it easier to compare themes
- Added several new themes to use
v0.5
- Updated render settings to use different routines for text rendering and
placement, this enables the app to scale the fonts with higher quality
and position the text more accurately (The previous versions have a
slight offset to the left)
- Added a theme designer for you to make your own themes.
- Added album name and release year
- Added track name, artist, album, year and album art to the cached file to further reduce bandwidth
usage (The files are no longer saved as .bmp)
- Changed the splash screen to a different better looking image (Image by Steff0o)
- Changed the main icon to make it easier to distinguish the icon from the Spotify icon in the system tray.
- Improved render code to only update the screen when the track has actually changed.
- Changed render methods to simplify the way everything is rendered (You will know what I mean when you see the designer)
- Completely reworked the update engine to allow for creation of folders, file deletion, file copy and a lot more
- Lots more that I cannot remember ^^
