lcd_lms.py

A python script to glue the Logitech Media Server CLI to LCDd.
It is based on the perl script lcd_lms.pl (https://github.com/jscrane/lcd_lms).

The main reasons for porting the Perl script to Python were:

• the inbuilt unicode support
• no need to build/install CPAN modules
• my limited Perl skills ;)

Installation

1. Install piCoreplayer (https://www.picoreplayer.org/) and the python3 extension
   (may work on other platforms / distros as well)
2. Install and configure LCDproc (https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdproc)
   (instructions: https://vonzeppelin.net/viewtopic.php?p=10&sid=9bf3a4ac3de374c30e86ee74d661d893#p10)
3. Configure/run script

Usage

Type

lcd_lms.py --help

to get a list of the available options.

To start the script automatically: Put it into the User Commands section of piCorePlayer. Maybe, you want to use the '-c' option along with a configuration file.

ToDo

A lot...
