Ok
I have made some updates.
If you want to try this update:
Remove the line you added to rc.local if it's still there
install mediafile
install tft-cover again
then cd into tft-cover
install the service
I have tested the service and it runs on my rpi zero w fine.
I just cant see if the display works
but the st7735 version works fine for me
If nothing shows on the display, check the service status
There is a 30 second delay built into the service start to ensure the mpd service starts fully at boot
