Running Pi Presents GTK #1

Closed HT1929 closed 6 months ago

HT1929 commented 6 months ago

I'm currently trying to use PiPresents and I have RPi OS Bookworm (32 bit) installed and was able to install all the packages on the instruction page. When running python pipresents.py , the error screen do not pop up with an OK button. Instead it gave me this error in the terminal:

STARTUP ERROR: Profile not specified with the commands -p option error exit

And after downloading the example profiles, I could not run the example profile either. In this case, I received this error message:

STARTUP ERROR: Failed to find requested profile: /home/pi/pp_home/pp_profiles/pp_mediashow_1p6 error exit

Your first problem. Yes there is an error in the Readme. It should say a message is displayed in the terminal window. I will modify it.

Your second problem. I looks like you have not installed the examples correctly. You should have a directory: /home/pi/pp_home/pp_profiles/pp_mediashow_1p6 with files in it pp_showlist.json and mymediashow.json

Figured it out. Turns out I had pp_home inside another directory called pp_home which was why the examples couldn't be accessed. Thank you for your help!
