[Plugin] pirate audio

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.

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

@Jayman,

i looks like the pip install is broken, please try:

  • login via ssh
  • sudo python -m pip install --upgrade --force setuptools
  • sudo python -m pip install --upgrade --force pip
  • 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

Looks not so good…

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.

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**
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "display.py", line 8, in <module>
    import ST7789 as ST7789
ImportError: No module named ST7789

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:

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

@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!

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.

Yep, the same question. Just received my Pirate Radio.
Solution by @arckuk doesn’t work for me.

doesnt for me either :frowning: screws up volumeio if i downgrade python

Hi @AxLED , I used spotify plugin and the artwork was displayed properly in pirate audio. But, since it only allows 100 songs in a playlist, I decided to use spotify connect. The web UI shows the album art, but not pirate audio.
Oh yeah, also the solution by @arckuk works for me.

When I do python display.py

  1. Using Spotify I get

register 5
success
register 6
success
register 16
success
register 24
success

  1. Using Spotify Connect I get

register 5
success
register 6
success
register 16
success
register 24
success

im now using version 3 buster beta so looking forward to plugin support when/if it finally released

@AxLED you will have this for any “volatile” service (airplay,bluetooth, sc,tc, etc) - they don’t normally have queue position in the field…

@ksr112

i haven’t tested my plugin with all music service plugins so far. I did develop and modify the pirate audio plugin so it works with “Spotify” plugin but i didn’t modify it for “Spotify Connect” plugin (so far).

Unfortunatelly the data structure i receive from different music service plugins is always a little different, so i have to catch this with separate code.
As next steps i would like to get “pirate audio plugin” it up and running again on the volumio OS, as far as the version 3.x is officially release.
@ashthespy thanks for the hint

AxLED

This worked for me, thanks @arckuk

Hi to the pirate audio plugin users,

today i tried to find a solution for the install process (on my test pi without pirate audio hat so i need your feedback).
So maybe someone can test the following steps to get pirate audio plugin working again:
Volumio version 2.917

  • login via ssh
  • sudo apt-get update
  • wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
  • sudo python get-pip.py
  • sudo apt-get -y install python-rpi.gpio python-spidev python-pip python-pil python-numpy --no-install-recommends
  • sudo pip install st7789 socketIO-client
  • sudo pip install websocket-client==0.58.0

I am looking forward to get your response.

Conclusion:

  • pip is missing in the newer volumio versions
  • some depencies (socketIO-client, Request, …) have problem with unsupported python 2.7

Regards

AxLED

You, sir, are a genius. Many thanks for sharing, now it works!

This looks similar to the Mopidy.conf that I did edit when using Pirate Audio with mopidy, although I could rotate the display as I wanted. I’ve never managed to reassign the buttons.

Now, in this case I’m not able to find those two files to edit (yes, I’m a newbie still struggling with managing search via SSH) the confi.json and display.py. I’d assume you simply edit with Nano?
Again, thanks a lot for sharing help!
