Tauon Now Playing

[Alextibtab]

Hi, just wanted to share a project I made it was mainly AI coded using OpenCode so I haven't thoroughly checked through all the code yet. I thought I'd have a go at making a now-playing project that creates an SVG image of what you're currently listening to. So you can then add it to your github readme like similar projects for spotify etc.

It's two components the server.ts file which I have deployed on deno deploy and then the poller.ts which gets the track info from the tauon http api using the /api1/status endpoint. By default the poller will send an update to the server every 10 seconds. You can change this with an environment variable POLL_INTERVAL_MS=30000. The default might be a bit much for deno deploy free usage limits you get 10k requests but if you add a payment method to your account the free usage increases to 1 million requests so should be pretty hard to hit.

Here's the link to the repo: https://github.com/Alextibtab/tauon-now-playing

You can now define your own themes in JSON and then pass the name as a URL parameter. I also hopefully made the poller.ts more efficient so now it doesn't send an update every 10 seconds, but only updates the server if the song status has been changed.

There's now an editor you can use to see what can be customized and then export the theme it generates. I've also added some various visualization styles.
