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.

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

Any idea if we can get this to show spotify info now that it shows up on the moode web ui?

Just wanted to say i just finished setting up a display (SPI type SH1106) on current moode 9.2.4 with the instructions given for installing mpd_oled for moode 8 using source.
I have almost no bash knowledge, but thanks to the detailed instructions by adrii, it was quite doable.
For the inexperienced like me, it might good to know that the display will only show its first sign of life once everything is setup correctly and the mpd_oled service is started.
Thanks a lot adrii (and tim)!
