Id love to have the Cover artwork displayed on this, but my coding skills arnt up to it
any chance of this being a future feature?

I have tested a ST7735 160x128 TFT with some success, including cover artwork display.
I only use it for listening to internet radio or playing my local FLAC and p3 collection, and I have all my cover art saved as folder.jpg or cover.jpg.
I use the Pimoroni ST7735 python library and the ST7789 library has almost identical, so my script can easily be updated
So if this is what you're after, I can help

It would be really nice to have Moode running on PirateAudio.

Any help to run MOODE here appreciated. I have no clue how to start. Without help  I will not make it.


Anybody else interested?

Maartin,

I don't have a PirateAudio, bit it's predecessor the Pimoroni Phat Dac.

I have had a look at the PirateAudio (they are sold out, unfortunately) and the instructions look reasonably easy.
Like the Phat Dac, the PirateAudio uses the hifiberry-dac overlay, so I would select Pimoroni Phat Dac as your i2s device in the Moode Auduo Config.

As per Pimoroni's instructions, you may also have to edit the config.txt file to configure gpio 25 of the raspberry pi.  This is not difficult


SSH into the rPi.

then edit the config file using the nano editor...

Code:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt


then add this lime at the end...
Code:
gpio=25=op,dh

save the file then reboot.

Bear in mind I cannot guarantee this will work as I don't have a pirateaudio to test it myself.

The worst that could happen is you have to reinstall moode

Cheers

Russ
