pirateplayer 0.3.2

PiratePlayer is an offline player for Pirate Audio

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!

press B to scroll down

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
