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
