Hi everyone, was thinking adding a simple LCD display to my Pi + DAC2Pro setup, showing only title and singer of the song played.

Could not find any hint on how to do that, any idea?

Thanks in advance!

  You need to create your own plugin for this. At least I'm not aware that there is already one that can do this. If you're familiar with Python, it's really not very complicated, here's a simple example:

  (That is if you're using HiFiBerryOS)

  Yes, I'm using HiFiBerryOS - I'll have a look at the sample code, and eventually post the final script.

  Thanks.

  Is it the same request as this one? https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360009546617--now-playing-screen-on-RPi-with-screen-

  I would like that! Is the feature available today?

  No, this is something completely different. As nobody contributed some code for this, this is not available and we don't plan to implement this.
