@rdrivas123 I have an idea of how to make this work on both HyperPixel screen dimensions but haven't had time to play with it as of yet. It might just work for now by adjusting these values:

music-screen-api/display_controller.py

Lines 12 to 15 in b29f2c0

SCREEN_W = 720
SCREEN_H = 720
THUMB_W = 600
THUMB_H = 600

Got the album art to adjust to the screen, there is a gray bar at the bottom when i use outside the standard parameters, not a big deal. One thing I did notice when the track title pops up is that it scales the image back outside the 480 width of the rectangle screen, Not sure if there is a way to adjust the text size down?

Everything else is working perfectly.

@rdrivas123 The above doesn't fit the screen size of the rectangular HyperPixel 4.0. If you're running in a vertical orientation, try these values:

SCREEN_W = 480
SCREEN_H = 800
THUMB_W = 480
THUMB_H = 480

It seems to roughly work but there might need some adjustments to the text in terms of placement, wrap width, etc.

Made that adjustment looks good so far! Thanks!

Pulled new dev branch and looks pretty good to me!

SCREEN_W = 800
SCREEN_H = 480
THUMB_W = 350
THUMB_H = 350

and

if show_artist_and_album:
    track_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=25)
else:
    track_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=20)
detail_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=15)

Hi @vietscong

The only files I edited were display_controller.py lines 13 - 16
from:

SCREEN_W = 720
SCREEN_H = 720
THUMB_W = 600
THUMB_H = 600

to

SCREEN_W = 800
SCREEN_H = 480
THUMB_W = 350
THUMB_H = 350

Lines 76 - 80
from:

if show_artist_and_album:
    track_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=30)
else:
    track_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=40)
detail_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=15)

to:

if show_artist_and_album:
    track_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=25)
else:
    track_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=20)
detail_font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=15)

And sonos_settings.py (copy of my file below).
https://pastebin.com/nA5TyhRh

Please bear in mind I have my screen running on a separate Pi. So your value on line 6 of sonos_settings.py will probably still be:

sonos_http_api_address = "localhost"

I hope this helps.
