I mount 4.3 image on SD card and try to install like you explained in your first post. But I can't start pydpiper again...

UPDATE: thing works! After a few hours seems that pydpiper started, now I have clock on display and when start playback it shows big " PLAY" and after that there is a screen wtih "MPD" on left upper side, "RADIO" on right upper side, on left bottom line is a info and on bottom right are three black squares. What are those squares and how to rearrange this screen? I want to display shows only "Radio" in place of those squares and on upper and part of bottom line playback info?

Hi. Happy to see that you managed to make it work. That was the difficult part. The best thing with pydPiper is that you can configure almost any aspect of the information displayed. What you see now is the default. Now open your page file. You will have 3 sections: widgets, canvas and sequence. 
Widget is the information that is displayed, like artist name, album name, song name, song duration, bitrate, time of the day. You can edit the widget like changing the font, case (upper or lower), whether it scrolls or not, and the scroll speed and direction.
Canvas is the surface of your display. You can move widgets around in the canvas using x and y axis in pixels. For a 16x2 display, you have 80x16 pixels (8 pixels for 1 vertical character and 5 pixels for 1 horizontal). You can move your widgets at any position on the canvas using the x,y axis. Just make sure there is enough space.
Sequence: if your display is small, you can't display every thing with just one canvas. You need several canvas, appearing according a certain sequence. For example you display the first canvas showing the artist name, song name, album name. A second canvas will display the song duration and the song bitrate, bit depth. In the sequence section you specify which canvas is displayed and for how long in seconds.
If you have a large display (like those 128x64 oled), you might not need to change the canvas. Just examine a few page files and you will understand how it all works.
