Hi,
I'm new and would love some input to my plan ;-)
I use a pi 3B+ and a pi2aes. I'd like a local display, and I like this a lot: https://www.waveshare.com/11.9inch-hdmi-lcd.htm. It's unusual in that it is very wide, 320×1480px.
I will preferably connect it by hdmi, and i'd like it to turn off/show black screen when I am not playing/streaming, and turn on when playing. I've played a bit with the options in Moode, and I think this is possible, but not completely sure.
Then, I'd like to customize the design of the page, to utilize the wide screen. I can see the files (js/css) are in /var/www/. What I'd like to do is "somewhere" (on pi or in the sky) make a folder named "Aretha Franklin", and place some photos in it. When playing Aretha I want to show a slideshow of these photos. Another option would be to programmatically do a google image-search of the playing artist and scrape the results for links to images.
I'm a developer and the coding should be doable (unless there is something I overlook).
Can anyone see a reason why this should not work? - before I buy the display and start using time on it.
Thanks a lot for any input
