Are you willing to restrict the plugin to players with a graphical display, or even just SB2?

In this case you can send a bitmap to the display by calling $client->update($parts) with $parts->{bits} = a string containing a display bitmap in it. The bitmap is a 32x320 bits arranged as 4x320 bytes. You probably want to prerender the images and then do minimal work if you are rapidly writing to the display.

Have a look at slimtetris in 6.1 to see how graphics are written to the screen or ask more questions.

BTW - Does it pray for rain as well?

A wonderful addition to SlimServer would be code that sends correctly sized animated GIFs to the Squeezebox screen. Extra credit if it works for both graphical SB1 and SB2 with appropriate scaling.
