Hi kuyadreiph

Here is a quick summary of the status of mpd_oled on Moode 9.

The only way to install mpd_oled on Moode 9 is to build it from source (the binary package for Moode 8 won't install on Moode 9). Use the instructions for building on Moode 8

   https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled/bl..._source.md

Please note, it doesn't require any more technical knowledge to build mpd_oled from source than it does to install the binary package. There are just a few extra commands to copy and paste.

On a Pi 4, or earlier model, I2C and an SPI screens are working correctly. On a Pi 5, SPI screens are not working.

The Spotify song details that appear in the browser are not available to mpd_oled

Hi kuyadreiph

A per my last message. You will need to install mpd_oled from source using the instructions for Moode 8

Hi adrian! Mind me to ask you for help, how am i suppose to set this coz I'm having a hard time setup this and there are now showing any display on this oled. 

I do execute i2cdetect -y 1 and it says this, 
i2cdetect -y 1
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Also, 
Doing this... sudo mpd_oled_service_edit -o 6 -c 3c 21 -g 1 -f 20 -c alsa,plughw:Loopback,1

Hi kuyadreiph

You are missing a '-b ' in the configuration command. Try

Code:

sudo mpd_oled_service_edit -o 6 -b 21 -g 1 -f 20 -c alsa,plughw:Loopback,1

Hi kuyadreiph

The 'sudo systemctl status mpd_oled' command prints the options used to run mpd_oled. In the first in your message you have configured '-o 3', which is for a different OLED to yours, and so you don't see anything on the screen. In the second you have configured '-o 6', which is correct for your OLED, and your screen is then displaying correctly.

Hi Adrian! Unfortunately, there is no showing on my oled after execute and doing all the step as per says here https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled/bl..._source.md

But, if i going back to volumio and install the oled plugin it is working after thr setting of adafruit i2c from plugin selection. 

But, i want to use moode for this project coz of easy to use for me specially without worrying a premium access to access such Spotify, bt and etc... 


Thanks,
