Thanks guys for working the display issue out. I had the same problem and I got it fixed following your instructions. Thanks a lot !

Jayman · July 24, 2021, 3:47am

Hi people.
I an trying to get the Pirate Audio working but have the issue listed above of having just a blank screen.
I have tried the ‘work arround’ listed above regarding the websocket client but still no display.
Audio out is working. Buttons do nothing. Backlight turns on breifly when booting.
Hope someone can help.

AxLED · July 25, 2021, 7:19am

@Jayman,

can you please try following.

Login via ssh to your pi
change directory: `cd /data/plugins/miscellanea/pirateaudio
python display.py`
execute display.py: python display.py
Post output

Regards

AxLED

AxLED thanks for your help.

volumio@beck:/data/plugins/miscellanea/pirateaudio$ python display.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am hardly a linux expert, quite a far way from it but i am sure that is a problem.

AxLED · July 25, 2021, 4:04pm

@Jayman,

so try the following
login your pi via ssh

try to install socket-io manually: sudo pip install socketIO-client
post output

I disabled plugin first and ssh as your request, see below.

@Jayman,

i guess pip is broken, please try the following steps:

login via ssh
check if pip is correctly installed by command pip --version
if you get an error, fix it by command sudo easy_install -U pip and run pip --version again, now you should get an version information.
Install socketIO-Client: sudo pip install socketIO-client
uninstall websocket-client with following command: sudo pip uninstall websocket-client
install a specific version of websocket-client with the following command: sudo pip install websocket-client==0.58.0
enable pirate audio plugin (via web GUI)
tell me the results

Regards

@Jayman,

can you please provide following informations:

which raspberry pi
which version of volumio
anything else (except pirate audio dac and power supply) connected to pi?
anything else installed (which doesnt belong to the volumio cosmos)?

AxLED

Jayman · July 26, 2021, 9:49pm

Rapberry Pi Zero W
Voumio System Verion 2.882
Nothing else connected.
No other plugins are installed.

The install is about 2 weeks old.
After install i added my Nas as a music storage.
It ran with a usb dac for the first week while waiting for my Pirate Audio board.
I may try another fresh install on another sdcard if i have one.
I have a 3a board available also.

Jayman · July 27, 2021, 2:51am

Just tried a full fresh sdcard install
Same problem at sudo pip install socketIO-client

Umm, pip has dropped compatibility for Python 2.7 with the 21.0 versions.

So you need to pin your version to the last supported version 20.3 for Python 2.7.

Try doing a sanity check – on a fresh Volumio 2.x install, check what version of pip is installed

python -m pip --version

# if it's the wrong version,
# force it back to the right version 
python -m pip install --upgrade pip==20.3

Personally, I’d move to Python 3.x by using the Buster beta versions of Volumio.

miskor · August 16, 2021, 5:34pm

Hi, any update on this problem?

I just did a fresh volumio install on rpi zero (using volumio-2.907-2021-07-02-pi.img.zip) and I have this issue:

volumio@xxx:/data/plugins/miscellanea/pirateaudio$ **python display.py**

PIP reports version:

volumio@xx:/data/plugins/miscellanea/pirateaudio$ **pip --version**
pip 1.5.6 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)

But manual install of socketIO-client does not work:

@miskor
i will try to adapt my plugin to a new volumio release based on buster if it is finally released. In the actual image i have some depencies on python 2.7 and pip and socketio client which makes my plugin not working anymore. Some workarounds are mentioned above. AxLED

arckuk · September 15, 2021, 1:13pm

@miskor @JanK I had the same problems as you on a volumio install with current version today on a Pi Zero W. I installed modules for websocket-client==0.58.0 and ST7789, but I couldn’t get pip to update from by any of the mentioned methods. I eventually went back to fundamentals and used get_pip. Note that for python, you need a particular version of get_pip. From my fresh install (after trying all the suggested methods for update)

$ pip --version
pip 1.5.6 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
$ sudo python get-pip.py 
....
$ pip --version
pip 20.3.4 from /home/volumio/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

From there I could:

$ sudo pip install socketIO-client
....
Successfully installed certifi-2021.5.30 chardet-4.0.0 idna-2.10 requests-2.26.0 socketIO-client-0.7.2 urllib3-1.26.6

I don’t know if installing pip this way will mess anything else up, or packages will get out of order - I’m not a python or pip expert, but at least it gets the display to work!

AxLED · September 15, 2021, 3:32pm

@arckuk
good to hear you found a working workaround.
Thanks for sharing also.

As mentioned some posts ago i will try to adapt my plugin to a new volumio release based on buster if it is finally released. In the actual image i have some depencies on python 2.7 and pip and socketio client which makes my plugin not working anymore.

hey, any news of update for volumio 2.909? just got pirate audio headphone and would love to use this plugin.
