small pins of the national flag

[valera39]

Hello Dear Wolle!
You can add small icons of the flag of the country where the radio is currently playing. The data can be taken from the playlist, where the country of the radio station is specified, and place the flag collection on the map.
Maybe this is possible already in version 3.6?

And in the future, on large displays, it will be possible to make a separate information tab, where you can place the parameters of the playing radio station and other data that are not relevant on the main screen

Since there is no reaction to my proposal, I think my proposal is not worthy of consideration

The problem is the implementation.
There is a character set with the flags that can be used on PCs. This is what I did here:

I can't do that on the TFT display, I would need about ~200 symbols. We'll have to postpone that until later.

Thanks, I'll have to buy the display you recommended.

Better wait a little longer. These displays (with integrated ESP32-S3) have not been around for very long. There are sure to be many more suppliers on the market. And I'm not making much progress, it's all going to take some time.

[valera39]

Okay, I trust you completely

I found this website, it works without much effort:

and have realised this:

That's not nice, but there was just enough space.

This will come with the next update, for which the "flags" folder must be extracted to the SD card.

[valera39]

That's great! I'll definitely try it.
I look forward to seeing your developments with the larger 800x400 display.

Maybe to make it more logical, move the station and number icons next to the flag? There's plenty of room there. And the volume level in place of the station and number icons.
What do you think?

swapped the symbols
