Re: Pi-jukebox problem

Hi Majky, Sorry I didn't notice your post before. I haven't been working on the project for a while, since it is difficult to get a good casing for my project (since I have two left hands). I plan to revive the project soon and add 7 inch touchscreen support. Does the user that launches pi-jukebox h...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

I've just added some code that should solve a lot of the connection time out related issues.

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Thank you very much. I added that issue to the mopidy page. I really hope to fix it. I liked your project too... It does look consistent with the mopidy interface. What your project has, and mine is lacking, is the Spotify support. Some people have been asking for me to integrate it into pi-jukebox...

I now also added a system info screen, showing mpd statistics and Raspberry Pi host name and ip adress.

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Hi Mark, Here's my reply to your great post. I had fun reading it. [a] I now launch PiJ at system startup via a local CRONTAB entry. The only problem with this is that I can no longer get a chance to see the IP address. In practice, I've got my DHCP server configured to issue IP addresses "for ever"...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

This is great. I used with mopidy and spotify and it was working correctly until I have encountered an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pi-jukebox.py", line 88, in <module> main() ....

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Hello again, I overhauled some of the components that should result in more consistent user interface. You might not notice, but it will keep me from making some inconsistencies in the future... But that is not the most exciting part of the current release: it now features a separate radio modus. It...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

I've taken a look at the mopidy code and think the 'title' mapping is missing from the list command, so it should affect the mpc command as well. If it does if have something concrete for the develope...

Oh forgot to get back on some of your other comments Mark: P.S. Since I don't "do" cover art, I was wondering what useful info could be displayed there instead of a fixed "pretty picture". Well...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Hello again, So this time I added internet radio support. I'm not quite convinced of the road I took here, since adding a web station to a playlist seems a bit counterintuitive to me. I'm planning to make pi-jukebox have a web radio mode and a file playing mode, so you can switch between the two. Al...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Mark, I've downloaded the latest PiJ. That directory-handling stuff makes things *much* easier for me. (I also downloaded an MPD client for my 'Droid 'phone. Looking at the comments posted for various MPD clients, others *also* seem to find the lack of directory handling options and bit of a pain.)...

Re: Headless Internet radio, smartphone as remote?

Hi, I do exactly the same, although I just added a touchscreen. You could use mpd. This is the least invasive thing you could do, the other options like mopidy require installing whole new distro's and you get more than you need in your case (including the overhead). You can install mpd with: sudo a...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Thank your for all your feedback on the app. I've danced around the missing tags now and added rudimentary directory browsing. I expect some issues to come up from this part since it is just a first iteration. This option seems a good thing to have, not only to minimize dependencies on tags, but als...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Good morning, Mark. Is any of the stuff in those docs *necessary* to run PiJ? I don't really want to faff tooo much - I just want to get the basics running. As for the MP3 tags, I think that you'd better be *very* conservative about parsing the text from MPD. Many of my MP3 were generated *many* ye...

Re: Raspberry Pi touchscreen mpd player

Today I've added configuration options, available though the GUI , so that you can set your music directory (amongst others) without changing the python files. If everything is going to plan, you always keep your settings, even if you download a new version of pi-jukebox :-).

I am trying to get that working with Mopidy, so the location of the music files is configured somewhere else. No problem, I know where that is. RUN_ON_RASPBERRY_PI is set to "True". You should add a pointer on Github, that neither true nor TRUE works. :mrgreen: Anyhow, it is kind of working now, ju...
