Problem: Old browser support
#1
Hi,

Is there a basic set of html/php pages that would help continue using old browsers?
I have been going around the code and haven't found anything, but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

My scenario: I have an old iPad 3 running and old iOS version. This old tablet is driving an old speaker system Beoplay A3. The communication between them uses the old 30 pin Apple connector.

The sound is pretty good for what I want, and I hate throwing away hardware that can still be used. So I thought I could carry on using it as a music player even though the ipad is out of support both from the hardware and software point of view.

I have set a dedicated vlan for the ipad and a headless RPi Zero 2 W running MoOde with the HTTP Streaming server on.
On the ipad's browser I go to `:8000` and it plays the streamed music through the beoplay speakers. It is limited, because the browser/iOS version only supports the mp3 lame encoding, not flac, but it works.


I would like to open a second tab with moode's main web interface, but the browser is incapable of rendering it, and I cannot upgrade the browser. 
Hence the question: If there is a set of php pages that generate a lighter / more basic HTML version of MoOde web interface? Even if it is just one page with basic song info and cover art?

For now I using:
- http://moode/audioinfo.php
- http://moode/currentsong.txt after creating a symbolic link to currentsong.txt

But it would be great to have a php to display a combination of the information provided by plaintext.txt and coverart.php presented in a basic/simple way. At least for MDP based music.
