Bluetooth Meta-data?
I am using this in my car with a 5 inch screen with video in. Is it possible for me to add the mp3 tag info on this using something like pygame? And album art?
This is a good question, I like the idea of getting the meta data at the moment I am at a loss at how to do this. I will place it as a potential feature. If you do find a way to get it done and outline it either here or in a pull request I will gladly add it
I am also very interested in this. As I posted on another issue as well, the following post provides some python code that goes into that direction: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=635509#p635509
I am happy to help work on it, unfortunately it is quite hard to dig up any info on how to. If anyone has helpful resources, that would be great.
So, I did some tinkering and I built a super simple little GUI that displays track title and artist name from Bluetooth meta data. It also has buttons for previous, play/pause, and next. I built it using Tkinter based on the code that I already referenced above (it uses dbus to access/control the bluez Mediaplayer).
It should be quite easy to expand and is overall a very small and light script. If you would like to build your own gui from scratch, the basic code to interact with the bluetooth data can be found here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=87138&start=25#p641517 (the code that I mentioned in my previous post is not functional, but has been cleaned up in the post I'm linking to now).
I'm sharing my code here as a .txt file. Just rename it to .py. I'm quite unfamiliar with github, so I didn't know how else to do this.
Edit: I tested it on Kubuntu (16.04), since my Raspberry Pi is currently headless. I hope it also works on Raspian.
I still try to remake code from forum, and now on my bitbucket i did make little app with arguments- it allows to display temporary notifications on Raspbian os.: https://bitbucket.org/dzbiku/one_blue Still in progress, if someone wants to help or something, feel free to contact me. At the moment I want to add FM transmiter to play music in my direct from phone to old car audio.
