Now Playing display to behave like a media streamer
« on: January 27, 2025, 04:47:55 pm »

Is it possible to have the Now Playing (eg in Theatre View or Display View) to have the look and feel of a media streamer (like the WiiM Ultra)

I am running MC on a NUC and am thinking of buying a small HDMI panel to display whatever is playing similar to the display when I use JRemote on my iPhone - similar to the WiiM Ultra although will have the opportunity of having a bigger display

Ideally when nothing is playing, the display will just show a clock or a slideshow, but as soon as I play audio, the display will show album art, playlist, track info etc.

I could use theatre view, but it cycles through images of the artist (I would prefer the simple JRemote layout if possible) and just sticks on the last played track when playing stops. It would be great if the display could auto switch to a clock or something.

I could also use Display View or Cover View, but neither really look that good, and wouldn't auto switch to a clock

Help appreciated
