Not working with latest release of Jessie #6

Closed MakerFront closed 7 years ago

MakerFront commented 8 years ago

I tried to set this up on Jessie on a Rpi2 and it had some issues. Anyone feel like playing with it to get it going again? This is amazing if it works.

Forgot to mention, I followed the instructions to the letter.

Hi! What exactly crashes or does not work? I haven't used or tested this OpenSource version for about 9 months so as it was improved commercially for a customer, some details on what exactly happens could help ;-)

I know I'm asking for trouble without the issue exactly in front of me. I had to run to work this morning and I forgot to write it down.

If you have a spare pi2 around, may be easier to just toss it on there.

It looks like the installation doesn't complete because there is no raspmedia directory created in the pi directory. I copied it in with winscp, rebooted, and it tried to launch but had errors loading modules.

The first error was from line 8 in rasp-mediaplayer.py

As for the other errors, I would have to take a look when I get home later, sorry for not having everything in front of me.

I figured something changed in the Raspbian image, or maybe some other environment change happened that broke it. (not your code, I trust yours was working in the 6-20-14 release)

Thanks! And I really do appreciate the work and the fact that you responded!

Of course! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much for looking into it!

I've setup a player with latest Jessie image now and fixed 2 codelines with minor issues. It should work now. Please try a fresh install on fresh Jessie image.

One more note: Jessie boots to desktop by default so make sure before you start the installation boot up first, go to system settings "Raspberry Configuration" and set "Boot to CLI",disable auto login and expand the filesystem. After those steps do the installation as described in the README.

Please report back if it is working.

Tried with a fresh install of Jessie lite, still had the same errors (and I had to copy in the raspmedia directory in).

What do you mean wirh "jessie lite"? This is intended for the full raspbian image Am 20.03.2016 02:38 schrieb MakerFront notifications@github.com:Tried with a fresh install of Jessie lite, still had the same errors (and I had to copy in the raspmedia directory in).

Use the standard Jessie image, the lite distribution is maybe missing required packages that the default jessie distribution has included

MakerFront commented 8 years ago

I'll try with the full version, sorry.

Your instructions worked perfectly @peter9teufel

It would be nice to put that note about cli-only and no auto-login for Jessie in README.
