@lastmilefire, I am adding a car mode, which is what you suggested. But will not use buttons but the 3x3 touch matrix that is already there in the PlayInfo screen.

The problem is I can not use the lockscreen controls because there still is no public API for that. So, for a car mode to actually work we need to stop the device from locking the screen. Power-consumption has to be minimized. I can not switch the OLED display to the low-power mode, so I have to resort to using mostly black and taking care of the screen refresh to prevent burn-in issues on the OLED display, e.g. by blanking the screen every now and then or by changing the content entirely.
I don't want to be blamed for deteriorating your screens.

@lalomartins, support for scripting and D-Bus will come eventually. The old Quasar Media Player had it too.
