Hi,

I was wondering how hard it would be, for, when we add an url, to also submit a square image, which would be displayed on the screen?

As an example :

Mission Control Radio on SomaFM

Radio information URL : https://somafm.com/missioncontrol/ Stream URL : https://ice5.somafm.com/missioncontrol-128-mp3 Image link : https://somafm.com/img3/missioncontrol-400.png

Thank you!

Yes, that would be very neat indeed.

My priority is to port the project to version 2, with support for Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. So for the moment I will be doing this. But once it is done I can focus on this kind of features.

In version 2 I stopped using the Raspberry Pi OS in favor of another project called myMPDos. This project has some support for images when adding and playing a radio. I may use that as the basis for image display on the screen.
I have to dive into it before I can confirm if I can do it.

Amazing, yes it looks definitely more suited to the task!

As a quick note, it would be nice to have the possibility to rotate the screen (in my application my pi zero will be installed vertically, which means I need to rotate the screen back 90 deg in software).
