Yet Another Car PC (for Raspberry Pi). A WIP GUI for use in car stereos, with large buttons etc.

This was a school project, but I was planning to use this in own my car. But it's WIP, I have not had the time to work on it.

Currently it can scan a folder for .mp3s and save their info to .sqlite database. Then you can play the scanned music using omxplayer.

I created it using Qt5, C++ side. I utilized Qts' singals & slots, which made making this threaded a breeze, at least somewhat. Created in the QtCreator, UI as well:

It was supposed to scan metatags from the audio files, but because of compiler mismatch versions, I could not get it to work at the time. Also there was a problem with not getting qmultimedia -module to compile on Raspberry Pi, so I had to pipe the files to omxplayer to play them.

In the future I would like to continue this, but I might need to switch to some other method of loading the app on Raspberry Pi, as the compiler troubles hinder development.

The source code is in any case at codeberg.org
