HELP! I NEED HELP IT WONT WORK BUT I DONT GOT DISCORD.
WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOO!?!?!!??!
knowing there's an affordable colour eink display that hooks directly into a Raspberry Pi, this opens up a lot of interesting projects for on-device and Internet-connected stuff. I'm not a Spotify user so I won't be doing this particular project, but excited to try out other stuff.
72 dollars for a e ink display is not affordable. at this point i can just buy a used gaming monitor 22 inches instead
Your face says it all lol
Yo DO this projects
@initialsven165no im just doing a comparison. there are tons of 4-8 inch regular LCD screens that are cheaper yet way better and serve the same purpose. dont know why you would want to use an eink (only reason I see is battery life but this is staying on your desk anyway). also you can buy a whole ass android tablet or chromebook for that price (not even including the pi price itself!) and have battery and speakers built into one easy and nice package. next time actually use your brain and common sense
@initialsven165 that motorcycle:car analogy is absolutely perfect haha. People on here love shitting on people's joy for seemingly no reason lol
@@walnutproze ink looks like paper and wayyyyyy better than lcd thats why
This project is absolutely amazing! I am a huge fan of functional art or artistic technology. Will try this one out as soon as I get my hands on this display
!
I never would've thought of displaying music album art as an application for a color e-ink screen but it totally makes sense when I see it. I'd like to see this project using local media (I usually prefer locally owned media it to cloud music streaming).
This is seriously cool. Well done on the amazing project!
Great job, can't wait to build this!
I didn't know that they made color e ink display. Looks awesome
That's really cool, you've found a great usage for the fantastic looking E-ink gallery screens.
I'm looking forward to when they can get the update speeds better for more devices/
I love this project, very cool job!
Awesome stuff, can't wait to build.
Really interesting project, I wish I could do that but I think I have to learn more about Raspberry pi and coding before trying something like this. Thanks for the video! 👏👏
I feel the same way. I know very little about these topics but really want to do something like this, if anyone knows of a good starting point please lmk
Awesome build. Wondering what else the Spotify api allows. Those extra buttons being able to control music would go hard
Hi the spotify api allows you playback controls ect. I forked he project and added a service that you can use the 4 buttons on the screen to play/paus, go to the previous next track of toggel repeat.
oh my god Ive wanted something like this for so long this is great
such a cool project well done cant wait to try it
Let me know how it goes!
Just wanna say the song choices in the B-roll are excellent
Thanks a lot for this! Really helpful information
Just came across this and threw it together this morning. Works great. Just a bummer that the refresh time is so slow on those displays.
Looks beautiful
the album art picked, this guy knows music
So cool, thanks for sharing!
This is super cool!!!
I built something like this a few years back using a few LED matrices to show the album art and currently playing song.
I haven't even watched the video yet but just the fact you're listening to MF DOOM is dope af.
+1 sub
Very cool! Good video, be proud of yourself
respect for ye's flashing lights, was one of my favorite songs when i was younger
Very cool project!
Nice project! Bet this could be an ebook reader as well. Thanks for sharing!
Like when not playing music, display photos from Google photos or similar or news headlines / RSS feeds
0:00 A damn good song youve got there.
oh i need to make this thank you so much
You have no idea how much I loved this project. I got really into a CD player that you could hang in your wall and it played your music from the CD and you could place the cover in there as well. It looked really good that I wanted it so bad, but this project, is a million times better.
I really hope that, soon, you can also add speakers and some wifi or bluetooth capability so I can hang it on my wall and listen to Spotify directly from there. Would look amazing on my living room 😂
at that point you would want a android tv stick plugged into a tv like Samsungs super flat wallpaper tvs and have it hand up on the wall, you could also get a sick 3D. sound system and place it in all four corners of your room for that extra oomph!
Cool project!
I was thinking of making a similar one to integrate it with home assistant. Also, really need the touch screen. Hope you come up with a similar project. Great video btw!
Awesome project! Would be cool on a wall, also with a big amoled screen with karaoke function.
I know someone that would love this unironically. I'm gonna make it for them for their birthday.
Came for god-like music taste, stayed for super simple yet effective idea
Is it possible to use with other music streaming services? Like youtube music for example. And is it possible to have it display photos while it doesn't have music playing? I want to make one that is a picture frame, having it to display my youtube music would be great!
That is amazing video
would love to have this on a larger scale with a picture frame on the wall that would be cool thanks for the video!
This is an awesome project! is there something like this with this Pi and Screen for Home Assistant?
This is amazing, any chance it can be replicated for Tidal?
Wish this worked with Apple Music . Great video.
hey this looks really cool and intresting, I'd love to try this my selfe, any chance to do this without a 3d printer? everything else is managable.
This is really cool, I am wondering can you make it into a apk that will display the cover art on your phone? Thanks!
Hey, did you design the Raspberry Pi model yourself or did you find it online?
Would be nice if you could share the source. Thanks
hey ryan, i wanna ask you a question, can I put your code with LCD raspi 5"? thanks for you help and videos
I am really surprised that there are color e-ink displays, opens up a lot of possibilities!!
Love the project and immediately had to try it out. I followed all of the steps you detailed out but can't seem to get the e-ink display to update with any album art. I'm currently using a Pi Zero W with the 5.7" display. No data appears in the Spotify developer dashboard, which makes me think there is an issue with the connection to Spotify? Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for testing it out! I actually noticed that there is an issue in the install script. You should redownload the script using wget and re-run it. I went ahead and updated it on GitHub.
Additionally, if you can't figure it out I have a Discord for troubleshooting questions: discord.gg/hAPgtXF8aT
you sir have good taste in music when I saw MM Food and Blonde... I was like okay....
Very new to all this. How do you determine if a screen will work with this setup? Or will any 7” screen for raspberry pi work?
if this was sold as a product man id buy it in a heart beat
could you make another vid of using the E-ink display as a Ereader? no need for touch screen, just using the side buttons will do :D
docker support? i dont even have the e-ink display but im tempted to fork your repo and add a dockerfile/docker-compose file just for ease of use for when i do get around to getting one someday
Hi Ryan! This is a truly amazing project. I don't have a ink display, but a regular DSI display (touchscreen). Is it possible to project now playing on that screen too?
Still trying to figure this out. Will look into the code. Still installing RPi OS.
Days into project: 1/Many
Edit: Followed this video: czcams.com/video/6i8kzqvh94E/video.html but did not install the RGB matrix.
Now going through the displayCoverArt.py file in /home/pi/spotipi/python. This file seems to be outputting the cover art onto the display. So, I am hoping if we change the output device- so to say, we should be able to get the cover art on a different screen.
Days into project: 1/Many
ill plan to do this but with and old laptop screen as the display
Is it possible to use Volumio with an rink display?
would be a really cool idea to make a mp3 player that has a e-ink display, as for a portable that would make sense
Can i make this project with another display on raspibberry? 60 Euros for the display is to expensive for me, i tought i could use another cheap display to do the same job. BTW amazing job you did in this project. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I would be interested in the refresh rate of this display. Nice project though. I have a Pi02W...I've been wondering what to do with it other than a Retro-Pi. This might be it!
This display unfortunately takes around 30 seconds to refresh. However since most songs are 3+ minutes I never saw it as an issue
nice
nice wallpaper
Can can you do this for Apple Music?
Has anyone an idea if this would be possible with Apple Music too?
I need this for Apple Music
Very cool!
😮
I wish I had a 3D Printer :)
BTW: can you tell me the name of the wallpaper, please?
do you reckon it would be possible to do this with a kindle ereader display?
Unfortunately wasn't able to get this working with my impression just a blank screen
need to do this but for home music server
I can’t really make this thing but fkin hell that was amazing also my first time seeing a colour e ink display
You can make this into a bedside clock as the eink won’t take much power and sell these as a cool bedside accessory
I've never had good luck with Matte PLA. The standard type is fine for many projects, though.
Awesome! could you make it compatible with YT Music?
It’s possible your issues with the PLA were from humidity. I’m not sure how old your PLA was, but that’s a common issue. You also had what looked like layer adhesion issues which could be from bad PLA or printing at too low of temperature
Would be cool to make it look like a stack of CD cases with the top one showing the art
Looks great! Is it possible to replace the cover in the background with a white area for a clean look?
Thank you so much! Yes that is very easy to do. There is a file called "spotipi.html" and all you have to do is modify that with the css that you want to use.
Perfect, thats exactly what i hoped for.
Thank you
Hey, this is really cool project! How hard would it be to set this up as a spotify connect device with an audio output for a speaker, and add some controls to the screen buttons for skipping songs etc? I'd love to try and build this, but not sure whether to start with this display or start with a spotify connect device and add display functionality!
Not sure about spotify connect but I have a raspberry pi connected to a set of speakers running shairport-sync and that allows for it to be an apple airplay device like a homepod, could be a cool to use these two project together to get something similar to what you want
Get some programmable keyboard switches, like a discord macro pad. Should be easy to wire up since the Pi will see it as a keyboard
I’m hoping e ink screens come down in price further, they would be so useful for many projects
Can you make this portable where it still powers without being connected always to the usb
the noise at the moment of speaking is in headphones really prominent.
could I get this to display the art for a game I launch on steam?
can you make one but with homekit compatibility?
funny I see this after I hear about Spotify bricking their "car thing"
Would this work with Tidal instead? Great project by the way
I took a quick look at the Tidal API and I don't think its possible. It seems that Spotify is the only major streaming platform with a solid API for these kind of projects.
this is so cool! how do u get into modelling like this? its super interesting
Thank you very much! I actually just taught myself through CZcams tutorials and a lot of trial and error
This is really cool. It would be interesting to see lastfm support for other music streaming services like apple music and CZcams music
Hi lastfm support could be possible. But streaming services like Dezer, youtube music, apple music do not provide via their apis a current playback status for the users.
@@slinrellek yeah. You could use some unofficial apis though
i wish you could make a softwear for soundcloud
What is your wallpaper it's so cute!
Can I do this with my own downloaded music??
I am doing a similar project. I am trying to use an ESP32, but I don't know anything about how to use an ESP32 or Raspberry Pi. Where did you learn how to use these items?
can I install this on an old android tablet?
Turn this thing into a wedge, add a DAC and a speaker and you got something completely stand alone and fully functional! I wonder if this display will work natively with Volumio with the touch display plugin.
can you make the same one but instead of spotify cover it displays your phones notification ?
could we do an ebook with that?
I want to make one in a cd case so it looks like an album
Does it heat up ?
Hey there, do you think this would work with the smaller 4" e-ink display? Looking into making this for a project but want a smaller form.
is this possible with apple music?
MFDOOM let’s go!
i dont really have the equipment to make such thing but i would probably buy it if it was for sale
more importantly what are the refresh rates here?
Now, add 2 buttons for skipping and a volume dial. Then we can replace our Spotify Car thing
I want to be able to do this to display provider schedules at the clinic I work at.
That should be very easy to do!
This is essentially what I had hoped Car Thing was, but alas it was never updated to be able to connect to a desktop and requires a phone to connect to.
Im so mad you didnt call it SpotiPi
I'm borrowing that name. Thanks!
nailed it
he actually did wdym
