PydPiper with Moode audio #119

Open kentlefley opened 3 years ago

kentlefley commented 3 years ago

I've got PydPiper installed and running on Moode audio. The large font displays such as play and stop and time are working as expected, however during play, all I get is a message saying "no active widget". Could you please point me in the right direction to solve this? I expect that this is not an issue with pydpiper, but probably just a new user problem. I have tried posting in the Moode forum a few times but I am getting no response. Thank you in advance for your help.

It sounds like the MPD daemon may have been changed. The "no active widget" message occurs when pydPiper can't find a sequence that is active in your page file given the current variables coming from the music service which for Moode is MPD. What version or Moode are you running?

I am currently running Moode 7.0 and the mpd version is 0.22.3_p0x3. Is there an older version of Moode the is known to work?

The problem seems to be fixed. Someone had a suggestion in the Moode forum to do the following:

Edit the pages file as follows: In the sequence section, replace every "stream" by "encoding", so that you have db['encoding'] instead of db['stream’]

Why does this work?

It's an issue related to the variability in how different music sources (Volumio, Moode, Rune, LMS) provide their data. The pageFile you are using is referencing a variable ('stream') that does not get produced in the MPD driver.
