MusicPlayer

Yet another Music Player but with one twist. It displays the Playlist beautifully on a second display.

FEATURES

  • Play back music
  • Show the playing song on a special screen that also displays the upcoming songs
  • Add a file (songlist.csv) into the folder containing the songs, that has the following layout: Songname, Artist, Dance/Music-Style, Tempo
  • Multiple Keyboard-Shortcuts are available: Spacebar = Play/Pause; Escape = go back; S = Switch to showcase-screen; Left-arrow-key = previous song; Up-Arrow-Key = Rewind; Right-arrow-key = Next song; F = Fullscreen
  • CURRENTLY BROKEN: Password protected and fully locked down full-screen mode (togglable from settings.ini file, soon from settings screen)
  • Planned: App theming
  • Planned: Secondary display app that can run on a different PC in the same network

Installation:

You may download the compiled version from "releases" and follow the instructions in the "releases" section (WINDOWS ONLY)

  • You will need to install the following dependencies: kivy[full], kivymd, pygame. Additionally, you'll need to install xclip using your distro's package manager.
  • Kivy may actually also (if you are on a distro that uses apt) be installed by cloning an apt repository as follows (adapted from kivy documentation), as pip will most likely fail: 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy', then running 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get install python3-kivy'

Roadmap

V2.0 UPCOMING VERSION IN DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW

  • Locked down mode only available when running second app --> Therefore multi-display support / even multi-PC-Support
  • Display app can now run on additional PC
  • Settings page
  • Backend optimisations to reduce CPU loads
  • Changing to Pushing instead of polling UI updating
  • UI Styling.

POSSIBLE UPDATES:

  • Migrate to PyQt5 for Main interface, stay on Kivy for display, as it offers more styling flexibility
