PiratePlayer

While there are other good software for audio playing, none of them works fully offline (mopidy) or doesn't natively support GPIO buttons (omxplayer): PiratePlayer to the rescue!

HOW-TO use

while browsing menu:

press A to scroll up
press B to scroll down
press X to select current file
press Y to go back

while playing:

press A to stop and go back to menu
press B to decrease volume
press X to play//pause
press Y to increase volume

Hardware needs

• Raspberry pi, a cheap model like the zero-w works fine
• Pimoroni's pirate-audio hat, or hack together some DIY
• (optional) 3.7v LiPo + 5v regulator or something like a LiPo shim

Install deps

Install requirements for gstreamer and hifiberry dac

then make sure you have installed:

gobject-introspection libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev

and enable GPIO SPI - check RPiconfig if not sure how
