Hi Edrian
I’ve just tried my box of bits build and couldn’t get the LCD to work either… there seems to be a new notice about buster end of life during the pydpiper install:
DEPRECATION WARNING
Progress: 70
Status :Installing necessary utilities
This Linux distribution (raspbian buster) reached end-of-life and is no longer supported by this script.
Not sure if that’s the problem yet. Will keep looking…
/S
Hi Edrian
Still not sure about why this is happening, but managed to get it working by taking a working docker image and copying it to a new 3.631 install.
1, Install pydpiper as normal, so that it shows up in the Volumio plugin UI
2, Download this to your /home/volumio directory as a TAR file
file (link only valid for 7 days)
3, Replace the not working docker container with the downloaded one by typing sudo load -i ./pydpiper.tar (it takes a little while to extract and copy)
4, check your pydpiper settings via the plugin UI and click “Save” to restart the service
5, wait… 
That worked for me at least
/S
Thanks mate, I’ll try these later appreciate your help
Edit: should i use filezilla to transfer this file to home/volumio directory?
Done! Plugin Successfully Installed
Plugin installed successfully!
volumio@volumio:~$ sudo load -i ./pydpiper.tar
[sudo] password for volumio:
sudo: load: command not found
Sorry!
should be: sudo docker load -i ./pydpiper.tar
ill try again, thanks
btw. how do i modify the text/script/code on my LCD
like changing position of text and changing the opening text like welcome volumio
you need to edit the Pages file in /home/volumio/pydpiper specifiied at the bottom of pydpiper UI and set the mount pount to “Local directory”:
You might have to change the ownership of the pydpiper folder so you can edit the file with:
sudo chown +R ./pydPiper
There’s a short guide to the content of the pages file here: display-configuration
The opening text is found in the splash widget section.
Widgets are placed in a canvas and then a sequence will call one or more canvas items.
Hope some of that helps.
Hi @SimonF,
Finally made to work with old ver.
My other concerns is i try to run to a latest version, the plugin is manage to install and showing lcd time time and start pyd and exiting pyd… But if i play a song nothing comes out.
