pidi-mpris allows you to control a MPRIS capable media player with a Pirate Audio Raspberry Pi add-on.
It displays the album cover art for the current song on the Pirate Audio display (ST7789 display) and assigns playback control commands to the four buttons A, B, X and Y (active low connected to BCM 5, 6, 16, and 20).
Tested on a headless Raspberry Pi 3 A+ to control Shairport Sync.
