pidi 0.1.0

🎵 pidi

pidi is a plugin-compatible fork of bum, a daemon that downloads album art for songs playing in mpd/mopidy and displays them in a little window.
pidi isn't as lightweight as bum, but supports displaying track information to a variety of output devices including a 240x240 ST7789 LCD. pidi is intended for use with the Raspberry Pi, but can be used on other systems with the appropriate display plugins.
pidi uses musicbrainz to source and download cover art, if an album is missing its cover art you can easily create an account and fill in the data yourself. pidi outputs a release-id which you can use to find the exact entry on musicbrainz.
Note: pidi is meant to be used with files that don't have embedded album art (eg: mopidy-spotify).

Dependencies

python 3.6+
python-mpd2
musicbrainzngs

Optional
pidi supports multiple display outputs, specified using --display {dummy,tk,mpv}, you must install the dependencies required for your chosen output:

python-mpv - for mpv output
python3-pil, python3-tk and python3-pil.imagetk plus fonts and font_connection from pypi - for tk/PIL output
st7789 - for ST7789 1.3" 240x240 LCD output
