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…
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…
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
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.
I think it’s related to an update in the newer version of the socket.io component. PydPiper is requesting player state data and the new socket.io isn’t responding
