v1.3.1

v1.3.1 - 2026-09-11

Added

• Visualize mode: --visualize runs any panel, or the whole service, in a browser tab instead of on the display, and walks it through every state it can draw. The frames are the real ones, drawn by the same code and the same loops the display gets, down to the double-buffered GIF slots, so you can build a panel without the display in reach.
  • --live takes real data and the API instead of the walk.
  • --offline drops every outgoing call, cover art included.
  • --no-browser serves the page without opening a tab.
  • visualize_port in [expert] sets the port, 12833 by default.
• Console tools on the service. They only print, they never draw:
  • --scan lists nearby Bluetooth devices.
  • --clear-slots wipes every image slot on the display.
  • --poll-debug dumps what the scrobbler reports about the current track. It sits on the Now Playing panel too.
  • --font-preview renders one Now Playing GIF per font into assets/fonts/previews.

Changed

• The test/ folder is gone. --visualize covers what its panel scripts did, and the rest became the flags above.
• The dashboard's --test is now --visualize, and it covers considerably more.

Fixed

• A panel no longer needs a config.toml to start. Without one it reads config.example.toml, so a fresh checkout runs as it is.
• Ctrl-C ends the service and the standalone panels cleanly instead of printing an asyncio traceback.
