🛠️ Installation

Currently, Subsonic media servers are the only supported music provider.

1. Use the inkypi plugin CLI to install this plugin:

inkypi plugin install now_playing https://github.com/mattserrano/InkyPi-NowPlaying

2. Add SUBSONIC_USER and SUBSONIC_PASS to the InkyPi .env file (or via the API key manager)
3. Add your Subsonic server URL in the plugin settings
4. Configure optional style settings and refresh the eInk display

💡 How it Works

This InkyPi plugin retrieves now playing data from Subsonic servers and displays cover art and ID3 metadata on your Raspberry Pi's eInk display. It currently calls Subsonics' getNowPlaying, getAlbumList2 and getCoverArt REST APIs.

REST API authentication is implemented with computed md5(password + salt) hashed request parameters.
