Script description

Navidrome Now Playing

Shows the artist and track that are currently playing on your Navidrome server, with optional album art and a progress bar.

The script polls the Subsonic API of your Navidrome server every few seconds. When nothing is playing, the app is skipped in the rotation.

Supported panels: 52×16 only

Features

  • Scrolling Artist - Title text
  • Album cover art (16×16), or a static equaliser-blue icon if disabled or unavailable
  • 1 px progress bar under the text, showing how far into the track you are
  • Skipped automatically when nothing is playing

Requirements

  • A Navidrome server reachable from your AWTRIX device
  • Your Navidrome username and password
  • The equaliser-blue icon installed on the device

Setup

Open the app's settings (gear icon) in the AWTRIX web UI and fill in the fields below.

Setting Description Example
Protocol http or https https
Server Address of your Navidrome server, without protocol or port music.mydomain.net
Port number Navidrome's port. Use 0 for the protocol default (80 for http, 443 for https), which is what you want behind a reverse proxy. Navidrome's own default is 4533. 0 or 4533
Username Your Navidrome username admin
Salt A random string, used to obscure your password (see Token) xyz123
Token MD5 hash of your password + salt (see below) 62c1af52efdc7a7485b3bd1425a380b4
API Version Subsonic API version 1.16.1
Client Name Any unique name identifying this client AWTRIX-NG
Keep active while playing Keep the script active while music is playing false
Enable album cover art Show the album cover instead of the static icon true
Enable progress bar Show the track progress bar true

Creating the token

The token is the MD5 hash of your password immediately followed by the salt. Your password itself is never stored on the device.

For example, with password secretPassword and salt xyz123:

md5("secretPasswordxyz123") = 62c1af52efdc7a7485b3bd1425a380b4

You can generate it on Linux or macOS with:

printf '%s' 'secretPasswordxyz123' | md5sum

On macOS, use md5 instead of md5sum if md5sum isn't installed. If you change your password or salt, generate a new token.

How it works

The app requests this URL:

https://<server>:<port>/rest/getNowPlaying?u=<username>&t=<token>&s=<salt>&v=<version>&c=<client>

Your settings fill in each part. If the port is 0, the :<port> part is left out.

Troubleshooting

Display shows Meaning
Navidrome unavailable The request failed. Check the server address, port, protocol, and that the token matches your password and salt.
Nothing playing The server responded but no track is currently playing. The app is skipped in the rotation.
Icon instead of cover art Cover art is disabled, the track has no cover, or the cover could not be loaded.
