[How to do instruction] 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi

[Jempie]

Hi Jempie

Run the mpd_oled_service_edit command again. The options should be the same as you used before, but with an additional " -R" at the end (i.e. add three characters: space, hyphen, R). For example

Code:

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

Adrian

Works, thanks

Adrian,

what could be the reason, that when i switch on and off the RPI sometimes more than often there is no ethernet connection
I have to try several times before there is a connection... how can I check this

Hi Jempie

I recommend asking in the Moode Support forum

Adrian,

how can i change on the first screen MOODE instead of the time
because on the second screen it has the time

is there a way to switch off the bars?

thanks

Hi Jempie

There are no options to change the "stop" screen in the way you want, and there are no options for a "play" screen without the spectrum area. See

   https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled/bl...doc/FAQ.md

If you just want to stop the bars displaying in the spectrum area then specify the mpd_oled -c option as '-c fifo,/tmp/dummy' (instead of '-c alsa,plughw:Loopback,1'). 

Adrian.

Hi '@adrii ,
just installed 7.4. Oled display shows the first song and goes freezing. I can see it on but was not refreshed, like holded.
Reinstalled packages without success.
with "sudo systemctl status mpd_oled" command i have this errors:

Hello, after updating to version 7.4.0, I didn't work anymore either.
I switched on loopback (Audio Config) and restarted moode, then it worked again without any problems ...

Code:

sudo systemctl status mpd_oled

  Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mpd_oled.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Hi officialsm

The error meassage says

Code:

mpd_oled: error: option -o: invalid 128x64 oled type 0 (see -h)

This is because mpd_oled is being started with '-o 0'

Code:

Process: 6538 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd_oled -o 0 -b 21 -g 1 -f 15 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

If you try running mpd_oled_service_edit and specify your display with option -o then mpd_oled will hopefully work.

Hi Cardone

Thanks for posting the steps required to get mpd_oled working after an update to Moode 7.4.

I have to avoid -o option?
