What's playing Spotify Connect on display?

[Nutul]

Start with this thread to see how a renderer overlay gets displayed and then it could be a similar process for getting any external back-end data to the front-end. https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread....2#pid52232

A basic flow could be

Code:

- Spotevent.sh writes track id to some location
- Back-end php daemon
  - detects new track id
  - fetches metadata
  - command + metadata to front-end via sendEngCmd()
- Front-end playerlib.js function engineCmd() receives data and displays it

One challenge is how to handle front-end page refresh

Excellent.
Yes, you mentioned it already... need to think. For sure the UI needs to be aware that we are playing Spotify...
