+--- Thread: [How to do instruction] 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi (/showthread.php?tid=155)
RE: 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi - v12nut - 12-28-2024
Hi all,
I am trying to get MPD-oled to work on a Pi3b running Moode 9.2.0. I have tried installing from source but end up with no action on the screen. Am I missing something? I skipped the Cava install as I do not want a spectrum. It is a 3.12 SPI oled screen.
Cheers

Hi v12nut
It may be that mpd_oled is exiting because it can't start cava. I recommend following the mpd_oled installation instructions with regard to cava.

Thanks Adrian,
So I need to install Cava even though I do not want a Spectrum? also which Oled type should I choose for a ssd1322 spi screen?
cheers

Hi v12nut
Your display is unsupported. From the mpd_oled README: "The program supports I2C and SPI 128x64 OLED displays with an SSD1306, SSD1309, SH1106 or SSH1106".

Thanks, I shall try another screen that is supported.
I also have a 'MPD-OLED error database locked' when I check the mpd status, is this related to the incorrect screen?
cheers

Sorry, I don't know what that error message means.

Any idea if we can get this to show spotify info now that it shows up on the moode web ui?
RE: 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi - adrii - 01-23-2025
Hi dwhacks
Moode writes details about the current song into a file called currentsong.txt, and mpd_oled reads it from there. When using Spotify the song details are not written to this file and so are not displayed by mpd_oled. I recommend posting to the end of the following thread that you are interested in having the Spotify song details appear in currentsong.txt
