How to run on pi2b with hdmi tv #10

Closed team-5678 closed 2 years ago

team-5678 commented 8 years ago

Hi I am new to using a pi but was wondering if you could tell me how to run this on my pi2b with a 1080p tv all it said in the read me was to run default.py but I don't know how to do that. I have already configured the plugins the way I want them so all I need to do is run it.

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Run python default.py

team-5678 commented 8 years ago

And where do I put the files

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Wherever you like. If you just downloaded the zip file, extract it and run default.py from wherever you extracted the files.

team-5678 commented 8 years ago

Ok thanks I will try it and then let you know how it goes

team-5678 commented 8 years ago

i am getting this error

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python default.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "default.py", line 275, in pluginScreens = getScreens() File "default.py", line 102, in getScreens plugin = loadPlugin(i) File "default.py", line 92, in loadPlugin return imp.load_module(MainModule, *plugin["info"]) File "./plugins/weather/screen.py", line 4, in import simplejson as json ImportError: No module named simplejson

I currently only have the agenda clock tube and the whether plugins.

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

This code is very old and unmaintained so there may well be bugs.

Change that line to just import json

ok what would i need to do to make the kivi version work an a non pi screen

elParaguayo commented 8 years ago

Change the resolution of every screen! The layouts are tailored to a fixed resolution, but the script should work still.
