ANNOUNCE: LMS Monitor 2020

Likely with pCP 6.00 being released today this post won't get too many eyeballs; oh well :D

And, apologies if I've double posted - mods delete this post if I have

I've been a long time user of LMSMonitor, even going as far as to build enclosures with custom mill work to incorporate an OLED with LMSMonitor completing the setup.

I hope kabavol doesn't mind my retooling the solution given the repo has not had updates in several years now.

See the repo for details.

TL;DR - highlights are:

• Built for pi4 and earlier models
• Scrolling text for long labels
• A "retro" clock when not playing
• Stereo VU Meters visualizer
• Spectrum Analysis visualizer

The visualizer uses shared memory if the monitor is installed on the same pi as pCP, if not it will use the VisionOn server event solution that is used by my RGB solution.

Here's a display dump showing the main features. The dump solution makes this look a little blocks but on the pi4 a healthy 17 FPS makes the scrolling action buttery smooth, and the visualization modes very kinetic



If folks are interested and don't wish to compile themselves, I'll submit build for pi3, pi4 an pi zero to the repo
