Description

Skips to previous track in the user’s queue.

Usage

start_my_playback(
  device_id = NULL,
  context_uri = NULL,
  uris = NULL,
  offset = NULL,
  position_ms = NULL,
  authorization = get_spotify_authorization_code()
)

Arguments

`device_id`	Optional. The id of the device this command is targeting. If not supplied, the user’s currently active device is the target.
`context_uri`	Optional. String of the Spotify URI of the context to play. Valid contexts are albums, artists, playlists. Example `context_uri = "spotify:album:1Je1IMUlBXcx1Fz0WE7oPT"`.
`uris`	Optional. A character vector of the Spotify track URIs to play. For example: `"uris": c("spotify:track:4iV5W9uYEdYUVa79Axb7Rh", "spotify:track:1301WleyT98MSxVHPZCA6M")`.
`offset`	Optional. A named list indicating from where the context playback should start. Only available when `context_uri` corresponds to an album or playlist object, or when the `uris` parameter is used. `"position"` is zero based and can't be negative. Example: `"offset" = list("position" = 5)`. `"uri"` is a string representing the uri of the item to start at. Example: `"offset" = list("uri" = "spotify:track:1301WleyT98MSxVHPZCA6M")`.
`position_ms`	Optional. Integer indicating from what position to start playback. Must be a positive number. Passing in a position that is greater than the length of the track will cause the player to start playing the next song.
`authorization`	Required. A valid access token from the Spotify Accounts service. See the Web API authorization Guide for more details. Defaults to `spotifyr::get_spotify_access_token()`. The access token must have been issued on behalf of the current user. The access token must have the `user-modify-playback-state` scope authorized in order to control playback.

Value

The response from the Spotify Web API on the POST request, with a meaningful error message if the operation was not successful.
