Id love to have the Cover artwork displayed on this, but my coding skills arnt up to it
any chance of this being a future feature?

i followed your instruction for the basic script. As result i could not see anything on the TFT.

I tried  changing  rc.local

Code:
# start TFT-Moode-CoverArt /usr/bin/python3
/home/pi/TFT-MoodeCoverArt/coverdisplay-basic.py &
to
Code:
# start TFT-Moode-CoverArt /usr/bin/python3
sleep 10
python3 /home/pi/TFT-MoodeCoverArt/coverdisplay-basic.py &

It helped a bit.
Now I see the moOde-logo. But changing stations does not change the TFT-display to show the stations.


I tried the full coverart script as well. Then my playlist, normally loaded on start, two stations, is not loaded. No Logo nor Stations visible on TFT.


Hopefully this does not drive you to crazy.
All the Best
maartin


PS: Instead of changing SPI going to raspi-config dtparam=spi=on can be added to config.txt

Apologies

My proof-reading is terrible.

Code:
#start TFT-Moode-CoverArt /usr/bin/python3
/home/pi/TFT-MoodeCoverArt/coverdisplay-basic.py &

should have read
Code:
#start TFT-Moode-CoverArt
/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/TFT-MoodeCoverArt/coverdisplay-basic.py &

I'm expecting delivery of a 240*240 ST7789 TFT later this week.
My testing should be more complete after that

Russ
