[PLUGIN] MPD OLED - installation & configuration plugin

Wheaten · February 6, 2022, 2:17pm

If you open setings, you’re getting an empty screen?
If so, wait for a response from @supercrab , or you can try running:

wget -N http://pitastic.com/mpd_oled/packages/mpd_oled_moode_install_latest.sh
sudo bash mpd_oled_moode_install_latest.sh

Wheaten · February 6, 2022, 2:21pm

I still see a nine month old version?

Wheaten · February 6, 2022, 2:57pm

Use the MPD_OLED from my previous message and just run the commands.

Hi Wheaten ,

I did on you recommend but still getting entry screen

Wheaten · February 6, 2022, 3:36pm

Did you reboot?

If yes:

Disable all other plugins
Uninstall the plugin from the plugin page
sudo reboot
Unzip the folder and place it in /home/volumio
cd /home/volumio/mpd_oled
volumio plugin install
volumio vrestart
wget -N http://pitastic.com/mpd_oled/packages/mpd_oled_moode_install_latest.sh
sudo bash mpd_oled_moode_install_latest.sh
sudo reboot

Enable the plugin and perform the setup. If the setup page is still empty, I have no idea what is happening. Maybe someone else has ideas, I am out of suggestions.

Have a look in the logs by running sudo journalctl -f

When you try to enable the plugin an error message should appear. I think you can also go to your Volumio’s ip address and /DEV I think there’s a button to enable logging there.

Ah yes, I couldn’t get the audio working for me using loopback on volumio 3 so have shelved it

I was getting the same issue that I had before

I did manage to update my gpio_control plugin though!

Might give it one more try though!

I tried this with a fresh install with the above instructions but I still get the echo (loop) after rebooting the system (the looping starts with the startup sound of Volumio).

Which other plugins have you installed?

@supercrab good job. everything works fine. Is there any way to adjust the brightness of oled? I’m using ssd1309

supercrab · March 1, 2022, 3:53pm

Not currently but I have found a way to do it but it’s not the prettiest. I’ve alerted the author of mpld_oled a way of doing it. https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled/issues/63

If this becomes included in mpd_oled then I will change the plugin to support it.

matteo.dannunzio · March 1, 2022, 3:55pm

@supercrab thank you so much but where is located ArduiPi_OLED.cpp ?

supercrab · March 1, 2022, 4:04pm

That file can be found here at the authors github project page

matteo.dannunzio · March 1, 2022, 4:06pm

@supercrab I meant inside the raspberry.

matteo.dannunzio · March 1, 2022, 4:16pm

@supercrab I wanna modify the cpp file into the raspi

supercrab · March 1, 2022, 8:22pm

In the src folder

matteo.dannunzio · March 1, 2022, 9:15pm

@supercrab sorry but i’ve already installed mpd_oled so i think that i’ve the binary. I was following this

github.com

supercrab/mpd_oled/blob/master/INSTALL_VOLUMIO.md

# Install instructions for Volumio

## Base system

Install [Volumio](https://volumio.org/). Ensure a command line prompt is
available for entering the commands below (e.g.
[use SSH](https://volumio.github.io/docs/User_Manual/SSH.html).)

## Build and install cava

mpd_oled uses Cava, a bar spectrum audio visualizer, to calculate the spectrum
   
   <https://github.com/karlstav/cava>

The commands to download, build and install Cava are as follows. Note that
the the command to install packages is different to the one given in the Cava
instructions. It installs extra packages needed for the build and does not
install the Pulseaudio development package.
```
sudo apt-get update

replacing
git clone https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled
with
git clone https://github.com/supercrab/mpd_oled

but i’ve some problems with cava. configure command get me this:
1. iniparser library is required!
2. WARNING: building without ncursesw support ncursesw is recomended!
make command get me:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.
make install get me;:
make: *** No rule to make target ‘install’.
