Hi,

i was playing around with buildroot-webkit on a seperate Pi Zero to display the "now playing" cover view of HiFiBerry OS. The idea was to implement this as a passive display to show whats playing. It would be even better if i was able to only display the album-cover this way.

Now, what is the URL to directly get to this screen? If i open the default hifiberry.local URL the browser points to the welcome screen.

Thanks!

Niels

  Cover alone is more complicated as you have to retrieve the URL from audiocontrol and might even change during playback of a song. The HiFiBerryOS web UI handles this for you
