Extension for displaying track info and controlling Mopidy from a touch screen using `PyGame <http://www.pygame.org/>`_/SDL.

Cover images are downloaded from `last.fm <http://www.last.fm/api>`_

Dependencies
============

- ``Mopidy`` >= 0.18
- ``Pykka`` >= 1.1
- ``pygame``

Installation
============

Install by running::

    pip install Mopidy-Touchscreen

Or, if available, install the Debian/Ubuntu package from `apt.mopidy.com
<http://apt.mopidy.com/>`_.


Basic Configuration
===================

Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for
Mopidy-Touchscreen to your Mopidy configuration file::

    [touchscreen]
    enabled = true
    screen_width = 320
    screen_height = 240
    cursor = True
    fullscreen = False
    cache_dir = $XDG_CACHE_DIR/mopidy/touchscreen

The following configuration values are available:
    
- ``touchscreen/enabled``: If the Touchscreen extension should be enabled or not.
- ``touchscreen/screen_width``: The width of the resolution you want to use in pixels.
- ``touchscreen/screen_height``: The width of the resolution you want to use in pixels.
- ``touchscreen/cursor``: If the mouse cursor should be shown. (If you use a touchscreen it should be false)
- ``touchscreen/fullscreen``: If you want to be shown as a window or in fullscreen.
- ``touchscreen/screen_width``: The folder to be used as cache. Defaults to ``$XDG_CACHE_DIR/mopidy/touchscreen``, which usually means
  ``~/.cache/mopidy/touchscreen``


How to Setup
============

Use the basic configuration to setup as most standard screens works fine without further configuration.

Raspberry Pi and LCD Shields
----------------------------

If you are using a LCD Shield in Raspberry Pi you need to config your LCD and run mopidy with root privileges:

Configure your LCD Shield
`````````````````````````

Add to the config the next variables::

    [touchscreen]
    sdl_fbdev = /dev/fb1
    sdl_mousdrv = TSLIB
    sdl_mousedev = event0
    
This is just an example. It may work but each LCD Shield seems to have its own configuration. 
To find your values find an example of using pygame with your LCD Shield and it should be something like this in the code::

    os.environ["SDL_FBDEV"] = "/dev/fb1"
    os.environ["SDL_MOUSEDRV"] = "TSLIB"
    os.environ["SDL_MOUSEDEV"] = "event0"
    
Run mopidy with root privileges
```````````````````````````````
    
You can use ``sudo mopidy``.

In case you are using musicbox edit ``/etc/init.d/mopidy`` file. Change ``DAEMON_USER=mopidy`` to ``DAEMON_USER=root``

Do not forget that this is a workaround and that mopidy will run with root privileges.
