[IDEA] Pirate Audio 240x240 cover display

[rusconi]

Ok

I have made some updates.

1. It can now be run as a systemd service
   
2. The MediaFile library is now used as a wrapper for mutagen - this makes embedded art easy to access.

If you want to try this update:

Remove the line you added to rc.local if it's still there
install mediafile

Code:

sudo pip3 install mediafile
or
python3 -m pip install mediafile

install tft-cover again

Code:

git clone https://github.com/rusconi/tft-cover.git

then cd into tft-cover

Code:

chmod u+x install.sh
chmod u+x tft-cover_start

install the service

Code:

./install.sh
and follow the prompts
reboot required

I have tested the service and it runs on my rpi zero w fine.
I just cant see if the display works  

but the st7735 version works fine for me


If nothing shows on the display, check the service status

Code:

sudo systemctl status tft-cover

There is a 30 second delay built into the service start to ensure the mpd service starts fully at boot
