@KmPan 

Seems you took a wrong turn somewhere but we can't know where you ended up if you don't tell us how you got there.

In my case, I have no suitable LCD/OLED display but that didn't stop me from doing a quick test.

On a moOde 8.2.4 (64-bit) player on an RPi4B I had no trouble executing the following steps (note that I'm presenting command line output so you can see what directory I'm in at each point)

Code:

pi@m824p4b:~ $ git clone https://github.com/dhrone/pydPiper
...typical lines of output...
pi@m824p4b:~ $ sudo curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
pi@m824p4b:~ $ sudo sh get-docker.sh
...lots of output...
pi@m824p4b:~ $ cd pydPiper

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/arm) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested
root@m824p4b:/app# python pydPiper.py
pydPiper starting
Loading font from /app/displays/fonts/latin1_5x8_fixed.fnt
...more font loading after which pydPiper is running...

I added some comment lines beginning and ending with "...". The warning that the requested image's platform doesn't match the host platform is not consequential here.

So how did your install differ?

Regards,
Kent

================================================================================

To run Docker as a non-privileged user, consider setting up the
Docker daemon in rootless mode for your user:

   dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install

Visit https://docs.docker.com/go/rootless/ to learn about rootless mode.


To run the Docker daemon as a fully privileged service, but granting non-root
users access, refer to https://docs.docker.com/go/daemon-access/

WARNING: Access to the remote API on a privileged Docker daemon is equivalent
        to root access on the host. Refer to the 'Docker daemon attack surface'
        documentation for details: https://docs.docker.com/go/attack-surface/

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
   (arm32v7)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
   executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
   to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash

may be pydpiper have some sort of incompatibility with bullseye?

mean time i am running moode v8 with oled @ adrii (install guide), lirc for remote with out any issues

I see one error in your configuration. The time zone should be Asia/Calcutta, not ASIA/Calcutta. That's what is causing the traceback and ultimately the message

Code:

ValueError: First argument to to_local() should be a universal time.

As for the rest of your configuration, I don't see a problem, but I'm neither a user of these displays nor an expert on Docker and containerization.

If I read through dhrone's python code, I see that this initial message

Code:

root@moode:/app# python pydPiper.py
GPIO not installed

gets generated in display-related routines when the python RPi.GPIO module hasn't been loaded. There are various places in the same routines requesting this module be loaded. Running pip in the container to list all available modules, I see RPi.GPIO among them, so I don't know why it isn't loaded in your case.

If occurred to me that I might not be triggering these display-related routines in my test so I went back and reconfigured. I selected the same display as you did, yada, yada, yada, and restarted. I get exceptions because there is no display physically present to drive the i2C lines but I still don't get the "not installed" message you do.

Aside: Python2 officially sunset three years ago this month. The debian bullseye distro on which moOde is built has only python3.9 installed (and the RPi.GPIO module is present) whereas the docker container which we are loading has python2.7 installed. AFAIK, this doesn't matter since pydPiper (which is written in python2 dialect) is running within the container, but I thought I'd mention it. Like I said, I'm not an expert in containerization. I thought naively it would insulate one from differences in debian distros (at least within the same architecture family such as arm vs x86).

Perhaps one of the other users who have posted to this thread in the past would care to comment about pydPiper and moOde 8.

thaks a lot Kent ....
for figuring out ...time zone typing mistake...

i reconfigured python configure.py......

every thing working fine ...

Hello everyone

I have got Pydpiper working nicely and it displays info when playing music from a network source for example. But when I stream to it using Spotify Connect, the display doesn’t wake up. It just continues showing the clock. Is there any way I can at least perhaps get it to just show “Spotify Connect” or something?

Thank you

[Tim Curtis]

Wouldn't this be a question for the Pydpiper maintainer?
