[NOT RECOMENDED!] Plugin and Tweaks Adventures on Buster Betas

Instructions are for recompiling node modules as you asked for gpio plugins.
I don’t what you mean or want to do by modifying mod oled. Mpdoled from Supercrab or the version I modified for buster already shows spectrum only while playing, or a clock when stop.
I can’t help more for that point.

GPIO-buttons plugins is another problem, it’s just doesn’t activate.
My problem with mpd_oled is that, for me, it shows spectrum, clock, bitrate, timeline, everything while playing, so I modified main.cpp and display.cpp in home/volumio/mpd_oled folder,to show only spectrum, and I was wondering how to make that change show. Somebody said I need to recompile. That’s it.
If you know how to make volumio see the change it’s good, if not, I will try with Adrian install from source, but it will not be a plug in then.
But you just said that your plugin show only the spectrum while playing, where can I get this one?

You seem to be mixing two streams of advice - the recompilation of the node modules suggestion was for GPIO-buttons, not for mpd_oled.

Good luck!

I think you’re confusing the program mpd_oled with the plugin mpd_oled they are 2 different things. You need to change and compile the mpd_oled program first and then install the plugin. I think @balbuze has posted his version of the working plugin on this post.

Note: you don’t need the plugin to use the mpd_oled program, you can just install it as a service. Have a look at the mpd_oled github page and follow the install instructions…

ok thanks, I will try that for GPIO_buttons plug in.
And will deal with mpd_oled another way.

I’m controlling Volumio with Websocket API from Python using Python socketio library

When playing a track emitting Pause then Play causes the track to start from the beginning again not from where it left off. This is different behaviour from the browser UI which operates as expected. (Note I also saw the same issue with previous install 2.873, websocet API retstarts the track, browser UI starts where it left off)

I ran a simple Python script which did the following sequence:
Emit Play
Wait 20 seconds
Emit Pause
Wait 20 seconds
Emit Play

Hi ,
I want to install the 80s80s radio plugin on buster version . Could you please point me out how to compile it to make it available also on buster version .User @Fybrox provided a fix for the index.js file - due to crashing Volumio 2.x.
Thanks

You shouldn’t have to compile it - just install it the way you installed all the other plugins you have running currently. It should work…

Many thanks @fybrox , @ashthespy .
The plugin is working also on buster version with the fix from Fybrox.
This is just great , also album art is ok :slight_smile: Perhaps it could add it again in the pluginstore

Hi,
@Fybrox. Do you encounter issue on volumio 2? On volumio 3.0 the ui from phone becomes stuck and I can longer control volumio. After I stopp the music from locally connect2 display the is ok. I can start another radio station…
This is sporadic.
Edit
When I do volumio status I have observed that after seek keyword a vey long number string. I guess do to this the ui becomes stuck.
When I check this keyword on another radio station the string is composed from 4 or 5 numbers. Somehow in the plugin this string increases very much
Edit 2.
I have started to listen ghe 80s80s Radio From the plugin and the “seek” := 54566 string contained only 5 numbers, but as soon as I have started to play with ui from phone value if the string started to increase… Seek:= 6578…n. And the ui becomes again stuck.
I realy live this plugin because all 80s and 90s are in a common place and the most important is the albumart for every song.
I really appreciate nay help. If I need to do something just pls telll me.
Thanks

Hello !
Yes, I also noticed some bugs under Volumio 2.x :
A serious one when server for metadata answers busy or unavailable, it crashes Volumio.
Another less serious, not blocking I believe, that you notice and I also, in the state of Volumio, in connection with timer settings for songs.
I can watch but I’m running out of time to go fast. I’ll keep you posted here.

This thread is related to Volumio buster beta, aka Volumio 3. So create an other thread, and indicate your hw, the version for Volumio and all plugin you have installed. Thanks :+1:

Hello balbuze,
This plugin is installed on volumio buster beta c 3.067. I look in the future :).
I have installed mpd oled, peppymeter, touch plugin. All is working nice. As I said this 80s plugin is state of the art. If you când make it work it will be a great pleasure for me and for others I guess. I can help with logs…
Regards

Hi Folks,

Is anyone working on the Rotary Plugin for Volumio 3 ?
I noticed i could use the volume control with Hifiberry Digi as of the latest beta release “Volumiobuster-3.067-2021-04-16-pi”
I tried to install the Plugin of Saiyato, but as expected it failed to install on the beta.

Hi,
Any news regarding the 80s80s plugin.
Thanks for your help.

Nope sorry, I don’t use it…

It is a great plugin :slight_smile: give it a try pls :slight_smile:

Hi!
Some new about Parameq4Volumio !
Attenuation (gain) is set automatically regarding value in PEQ
Additionnal attenuation can be set for each channel.
Now, unlimited number of PEQ! (even if I set a limit to 50 ;-))
Each PEQ can be set to affect Left channel, Right channel or both.
Why 50? Because the plugin can import file from REW and REW export is 20 PEQ max.
So for 2 channels imported, 40 PEQ max.
Format for PEQ in imported file is

Header, whatever it is...
Filter  1: ON  PK       Fc   58.70 Hz  Gain  -4.10 dB  Q  5.014
Filter  2: ON  PK       Fc   136.5 Hz  Gain  -7.00 dB  Q  3.115
Filter  3: ON  PK       Fc   192.0 Hz  Gain  -6.80 dB  Q  2.285
Filter  4: ON  PK       Fc   197.5 Hz  Gain   4.30 dB  Q  4.874
Filter  5: ON  PK       Fc   264.0 Hz  Gain   6.00 dB  Q  1.786
Filter  6: ON  PK       Fc   320.0 Hz  Gain  -4.30 dB  Q  4.730
Filter  7: ON  PK       Fc   667.0 Hz  Gain   1.70 dB  Q  7.289
Filter  8: ON  PK       Fc   940.0 Hz  Gain  -2.80 dB  Q  1.994
Filter  9: ON  PK       Fc    1187 Hz  Gain  -2.70 dB  Q  4.242
Filter 10: ON  PK       Fc    1764 Hz  Gain  -0.30 dB  Q  6.002
Filter 11: ON  PK       Fc    1993 Hz  Gain  -2.70 dB  Q  3.659

The plugin can also import Headphone profil from AutoEQ. Just choose the profil you want over 3800 in the scrolling list.
Feel free to test and feedback :wink:
