Perjan The Raspberry foundation recently released a 7″ Touchscreen Monitor for Raspberry Pi. https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-touch-display/ It would be nice to get support for this display in Runeaudio.
hondagx35 Hi Perjan, i got my display last week and it is already running with a local browser. Touch works fine, we only have to adapt the gui a bit to better fit the resolution (800x480). It would be nice to have some users for testing. I will release a image (or tutorial) soon. Frank
washburn_it I'm using a Waveshare 7 inch HDMI (B) LCD with touchscreen (800x480) so if I may be of any help let me know. Regards, Roberto
guyb As shown in another thread, it would be great to configure it to just show the song info for the currently playing track
hondagx35 Hi guyb, the coming image will display the playback screen on a connected monitor (HDMI) or the new raspberry touch tft. This feature is configurable as a option. Frank
guyb One maybe related question - is it possible to hide the volume control from the playback screen if you have volume control set to disabled?
guyb Just ordered the official 7" display Gonna have to find me a posh HTPC style case to mount it in now along with the Raspberry Pi. Maybe I can also mount the linear power supply I am using inside the case too
hondagx35 Hi guyb, is it possible to hide the volume control from the playback screen if you have volume control set to disabled? Yes it is, more when the image is out. Frank
guyb Do you have an approximate date for when the image will be available? Not pressuring, just wanted to know as I plan to buy some bits to make a new case that incorporates the Pi touch screen. A rough guess would help so I can plan when I am going to be spending all my money Guy
guyb You got any images showing what will be displayed on the official Raspberry Pi display as part of the new version?
hondagx35 Hi, the Display will show the standard user interface. It can be used with the new 7" touch display or with a monitor (HDMI). Frank
guyb Hi Frank, Apart from the connivence of having one device is there any other benefit of using the built in display functionality? For example, if I have 2 spare Pi's and set one up with the display as a client to boot into kiosk mode to use the UI and then had my other Pi running Rune connected to my DAC for audio. Would there be any difference or benefits for just using Rune for this other than using one device? Guy
washburn_it I currently use a Waveshare 7 inch with HDMI input with 2 Raspberries. Having 2 Raspberries gives me the chance to use the "client" (the one with the LCD connected) also for other purposes than just as Rune client. Since I'm going to use it into my car (as car media center) the "client" (that is a PI2) could work also as GPS car navigator in the future. In that case I will develop an interface (I'm a software developer) to switch between the fullscreen browser for the RuneUI and the GPS. Regards, Roberto
