[PLUGIN] MPD OLED - installation & configuration plugin

supercrab · July 14, 2023, 10:13am

I’ve updated the plugin.
I’ve submitted the changes to the plugin store.
I’ve done a pull request for the latest update.

I’d be grateful if someone can test it on a clean install.

I will test offcoarse, using my rPi4-8GB

supercrab · July 14, 2023, 11:56am

@Wheaten awesome, thanks!

Darmur · July 14, 2023, 12:01pm

it works on my side, tested on a Raspberry Pi Zero with Volumio latest beta version 3.522, right after a factory-reset

well done!

Wheaten · July 14, 2023, 12:13pm

Tested with a clean install using my rPi4-8GB.
and you have accomplish it again.

Volumio: V3.522.
MPD_OLED: V1.1.2 Beta

Working, including CAVA
Webradio: OK
Qobuz: OK
Library: OK
Spotify: Not tested as the Spotify plugin itself behaves very problematic

@Wheaten @Darmur Great new! I don’t even have v3.522 to test any of this myself. Thanks

Let me know of ok for you!

I have the same OLED, wanted to load file from NAS and eternal HDD as source but MPD OLED doesn’t have option using IR remote.

Is it not possible from MPD OLED at all?

Thanks

You mix two things…
Mpd_oled is to display info on a little old screen
It remote is to use a remote…
You need both of them if you want display and IR remote!

@balbuze thanks

rv_radio · July 16, 2023, 8:31pm

Thank you - basically wanted to display source selection when menu button pressed on IR remote but now I got the answer its not possible as there is no source function implemented on the Volumio CLI side so on the MPD OLED can’t be programable.

Thanks much your response.

Hi!
Volumio-3.512,
MPD Oled v1.1.2

If I restart the Raspberry, an Alsa error appears.
If I turn off the Oled plugin and restart the system, the error disappears.
?

No idea sorry

Don_Frenk · August 6, 2023, 12:17pm

Sorry, that wasn’t the MPD Oled plugin error.
The Plugin is OK.

supercrab · August 6, 2023, 5:51pm

@Don_Frenk wahoo!

Any idea what the issue was for you?!

Don_Frenk · August 7, 2023, 6:05am

I changed the power input on the Raspberry. This reduced the voltage loss. I think low power supply can cause such errors.

Darmur · August 7, 2023, 9:12am

this is a very nice system, I love it!

Thanks.

Hello,

I’ve now tested it with an RPI 4b and it works almost out of the box some i2c.
The usual changes to the board regarding R3/R4, R5 connect, R7 were not necessary because a resistor is already mounted here. RES ist GPIO 25.

(DollaTek 2.42" 128X64 OLED Display Module IIC I2C - Serial Peripheral for UNO R3 - Blue Font)

All plugin settings to default, when paused to stop.

Here, however, I have the error that the Spectrum does not restart automatically after a break of about 40 minutes. Solution is Plugin/Settings/Save.

Otherwise it runs perfectly…great work!!

However, I still have two questions…

What does the exclamation mark at the top left actually mean?

Is it actually possible that the Oled goes dark after a certain time during pause/stop… like the Allo Boss2 player does with its Oled?

greetings

Torsten

The exclamation mark should not be there. Is it also visible in stop mode?
Currently blanking of the display is not available. You need to modify the code by yourself.
