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?

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.
