Sonos-HDMI by Retired Guy isn't outputting graphics...

@Chicks, thank you for the port of your touchscreen controller to a view only HDMI code.  

I’ve got your code installed on my Pi Zero W, auto login to shell, the Sonos.py script auto-running and edited to my named speaker group, and it connected to the HDMI on the big-screen.  Unfortunately, the Pi isn’t showing the artwork/music on screen, just the bash prompt after the linux boot menu.

Can you direct me to what I am missing from the auto-run or the python or the output variable for the screen? Is there one more utility to be the front end?  Maybe my systmctrl of the Sonos app isn’t running?

I needed to chmod your utility to executable, so that should be OK now…. Thoughts?

    Best to wait for the network to be online, particularly since we’re using WiFi.  Here’s an example I use for one of my squeezelite renderers:

     

    [Unit]
    Description=Squeezelite
    Wants=network-online.target
    After=network-online.target
    StartLimitIntervalSec=33
    StartLimitBurst=5

    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -o hw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd,DEV=0 -n "RME Coax" -a 80:4 -C 3

    Restart=always
    RestartSec=5
    User=pi

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
