Right ive opened a new topic for this because im at a loss and the pi is going out the window, i need some help, ok ive been trying to add a lcd screen and ive been on nearly every website, forum and blog and still can’t get it to work, right the closest ive gotten is with this guide…
I did the folowing to install your plugin:
[code]$ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
$ wget https://github.com/Saiyato/volumio-hd44780-plugin/raw/master/volumio-hd44780-plugin.zip
$ mkdir volumio-hd44780-plugin
$ miniunzip volumio-hd44780-plugin.zip -d volumio-hd44780-plugin
$ cd volumio-hd44780-plugin
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install apt-utils
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ npm install
$ volumio plugin install[/code]
The plugin is installed. Welcome message is shown on display, but the MPD info is not shown if playing. Enable MPCLCD is set to On.
If I try to start mpdlcd I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/mpdlcd”, line 7, in
from mpdlcd import cli
File “/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mpdlcd/cli.py”, line 5, in
import configparser
ImportError: No module named configparser
Can you tell me how to corect this error? Many thanks for this great plugin.
SOLVED: Had to install Python 3:
$ sudo apt install python3 $ sudo apt install python3-pip $ sudo apt install python-mpd $ sudo pip3 install mpdlcd
I get the welcome message no problems, but thats it and in the guide it says i had to install python 3 i tryed that and it still doesn’t work,
The author for this plugin says on nearly every site its easy to setup its not, can someone give me a step by step every build i see has a lcd screen so people must know,
Thank you for your help any help will be appreciated!
