Support for changing disposition to avoid burn of pixels #32

Closed arthurlutz closed 4 years ago

arthurlutz commented 4 years ago

It would be nice to rotate accros 2 or 3 ways of displaying the information so as to avoid burning pixels. If the same time zone or track zone is displayed constantly the screen will "damage" those zones.

Thanks for reporting this. I have also seen it on my display, and I think it is worth addressing. One approach is to invert the display periodically (i.e. black on white rather than white on black), which I think would be straigtforward to add in.

I have added a new option -I that inverts black and white, with or without a periodic change: https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled/commit/deae92feea21ca2668581487add8f00cf7706c83

I don't plan to add a periodic display of alternative information screens to mpd_oled, and so I am closing the issue, but I will consider whether this can be supported in future projects.
