Hi! New moOde / forum user here.
I would love to find a way to see song metadata on the screen while playing Spotify as a renderer.
I understand that moOde uses librespot to act as a spotify connect endpoint.
I've searched in that project, and see that the core librespot library doesn't have a direct way to get that info. At Volumio, what they have done is to use a custom daemon to launch librespot (https://github.com/ashthespy/Vollibrespot).
This daemon then"publishes" metadata using UDP.
I'll maybe take a look at how this daemon could be used in moOde, and how to show a simple display to show the metadata.
I see as well that there's an OLED module that shows "now play" info. It could be great if that module could benefit from that.
Any hints as to where to start digging in moOde source?
