# Control MPRIS media players with a Pirate Audio Raspberry Pi add-on
## pidi-mpris
__pidi-mpris__ allows you to control a MPRIS capable media player with
a [Pirate Audio Raspberry Pi add-on](https://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/pirate-audio).
It displays the album cover art for the current song on the Pirate Audio display
([ST7789 display](https://github.com/pimoroni/st7789-python)) 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](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync).
