A small tool for displaying squeezeslave [1] information (such as current playig title, artist, etc) on a SPI LCD display connected to a raspberry pi
As display I am using a BitWizard SPI LCD [2].
BitWizard also provides a tool for accessing the SPI expansion Board on the rpi. [3]
The information is optained by the Logitech Media Server CLI [4]. There has been some great work [5] which I will use to control the CLI with python.
- Python2
- PyLMS (see [5] for install Instructions)
- appropriate Hardware (SPI Display, Raspberry PI)
- bw_rpi_tools [3]
- ticker for content length > 20 characters (the LCD display only has 20 columns)
- running squeezedisplay as a service for continous display updating
- german umlauts are not displayed
