TV Mode about raveberry

[raveberry]

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll probably implement in at some point.

Currently you could just open the main page on the tv, which would at least show the current song and the queue.
A dedicated info-page would be a nice touch, though. Maybe accessible at raveberry/tv or something.
The image information could be gathered from the Spotify API and Youtube's thumbnails (I'm not sure whether I got how fanart.tv works from their webpage).
In order to display the url where people can vote, there would need to be an additional setting, since Raveberry currently does not know the url it is reachable with.

Do you like the way Festify did this, or would you change something? Maybe add a QR code for people to find the voting page easier?

Thumbnails from Spotify/Youtube should be even better. All I know is that Festify uses fanart.tv, that's why the comment.
I really like the design of Festify TV mode. Maybe a text field is enough to display the address or any other text. QR code sounds interesting for guests.

This is a great suggestion. Just wondering if you were to do a TV mode would it be possible it played video if the source was from YouTube?

[raveberry]

Although it would be possible, it's very unlikely to be implemented.
Raveberry's focus is on audio playback, not on videos. Supporting them would require a significant rewrite of the codebase.
Additionally, there would be synchronization problems to solve: as audio output is possible not only through hdmi and analog audio, but also bluetooth and even streaming, an unknown amount of latency would be introduced.
In the end it is easier to just open your browser and watch the videos there ;)
