Just wanted to add my thanks for this plugin. 

I've just re-organised my Squeezebox setup, and because of space issues,
I switched an SB3 in my living room, with a receiver I had in another
room... Trouble is, that left me without any visible display (aside from
the remote obviously). So, using this plugin, and syncing my Chromecast
with the main player, I now get a nice display of album cover art and
track details on my TV which is great.

With this setup, I'm still listening to the audio output from my
stereo/squeezebox, and just using the plugin's display so show what it
is playing.

The only issue I found is that I have to make sure the plugin's
configured to play FLAC so as not to impact crossfade, but that's fine,
however I'm wondering if it would be possible to effectively configure
the plugin to just not output/decode audio as in my case it's
superfluous? Just a thought - it would effectively then be a meta-data
only display, and have a lot less work to do.

Another nice to have - It would be nice if the display were configurable
too - i.e. so I could add/change the displayed metadata. (e.g. to add
detail like year/genre etc. as preferred.)

Whilst I appreciate this is deviating somewhat from the plugin's
intended use, this setup is by far the best solution I've found to
display what's playing on my TV!
