                               PianoCtl.Server -> PianoUi

To test:

./test-example.sh

In IEx run PianoCtl.Notifier.create_script to create the command.sh script

TODO

  • Clean up the parsing code (rather hacky right now)
  • Gracefully handle when the image cannot be downloaded (should have a placeholder)
  • Cover art should be resized to fit
  • Extract text into a separate scene
  • Find a good name for the Splash scene

Done:

  • Change PianoParser to be able to accurately detect events
  • Display the current song in the scenic scene
  • Nodes should be configured from config
  • Fetch and display cover art
  • write the OS pid to ~/.config/pianobar/piano_ctl_pid
  • command.sh should check the pid, and only write to the pipe if the process is still running
  • Add play/pause and next buttons
  • PianoCtl.CommandRunner is broken
  • Tap on cover art to hide

EventCmd format

event_name   # The event name
             # An empty line
attr1=val1   # A list of attrs
attr2=val2
attr2=val2
attr2=val2
             # Another empty line
