Hi
If you see what you wrote, it means that everything is ok… Now you have to said what you want display on screen : you can use mpdlcd to display mpd information or write your own script… If you have install mpdlcd , you have to launch it mpdlcd --no syslog :wink:

Yes it is possible… I wrote a script that do that. Search the forum for “my second volumio project” I place a ZIP file containing a script called monyp.py. I’ll vive you thé link tomorrow if you dont find it.
