MPD, Volumio, RuneAudio and Moode OLED status and spectrum display for Raspberry Pi (and similar)

Fork of https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled

Changes (targeted to my personal use case in a children's music player)

• No spectrum, just infos (spectrum does not seem to work with VolumIO Spotify anyway and would probably consume quite some CPU power on a Raspberry Pi Zero)
• Rearranged display to personal taste
• Display timeout when in paused state (3 minutes)
• A few minor enhancements

Moode, Volumio, RuneAudio and MPD OLED Spectrum Display for Raspberry Pi

The mpd_oled program displays an information screen including a music frequency spectrum on an OLED screen connected to a Raspberry Pi (or similar) running MPD, this includes Moode, Volumio and RuneAudio. The program supports I2C and SPI 128x64 OLED displays with an SSD1306, SSD1309, SH1106 or SSH1106 controller.

Build and install

The instructions depend on the player

• Build and install on Volumio
• Build and install on Moode
• Build and install on RuneAudio
• Build and install on Debian-based OS running MPD, follow the instructions for Build and install on Volumio but use PLAYER=MPD make (stretch) or PLAYER=MPD LDLIBS="-li2c" make (buster) when building mpd_oled
