This is a project I've been meaning to come back to and try again since Jessie release sorted a lot of the old issues i ran into. If you look up a bit you'll see the link to elParaguyayo's code, I did sort of get it all working on Wheezy (bar the weather screen) eventually but it was not a pleasant ...

brendanssound

Oh please don't get me mistaken. Definitely not a problem from elParaguayo's end. The program is solid. I know because iv had it all working before. Just can't remember pytz being this much of a problem last time. It will be something silly most likely but for the life of me i can't figure it out ye...

Disregard my last message. Found out the instructions are incorrect.. You have to load the python-ws4py actual command is meant to be: sudo pip install python-ws4py not sudo pip install ws4py (as the official page states) My victory did not last long as i am now experiencing the same errors with pyt...

Hey guys, trying to set this up today: https://github.com/9and3r/RPi-InfoScreen-Kivy Mostly all gone well, But when i attempt to load the main screen and switch to mopidy screen it complains at me of unmet dependencies (mopidy:ws4py) I have checked, and triple checked ws4py is installed (following d...

haha i meant my project has been put on hold (the sunrise alarm clock)

Can't find anyone else having this issue so must be on my end. Will figure it out.

brendanssound

Is

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mopidy-spotify

working for everyone else anymore?

Keeps telling me package not found. Has been doing this awhile now.

I was attempting to do a fresh install because i had put this project on hold for so long (other stuff come up)
and had no idea where i was up to.

Pong looks awesome

I wanna test this out but I'm going away for a week shortly and no time to get into it. Will you be making a video player at any point you think? Would be cool to lay in bed and watch Wall-E or something.

brendanssound

Ha! Progress.. tweaked a few settings and reinstalled the mopidy screen with your latest one. I can see playlist now and music plays etc.. woohoo :D i have found that if I select a playlist it starts playing.. But the now playing screen does not seem to update properly.. The play button is not a pau...

brendanssound

Have been meaning to test this but basically since my last message iv been crook.. On the mend now .. horray!.. Will let you know how it all works on touchscreen.

Still no one has any ideas from my video?

damn

brendanssound

Sounds good

I'm looking forward to this.

brendanssound

Woohoo!

Iv been watching and waiting patiently for progress on this

Gonna test it out tonight.. need to nap for now.

Now if only i could get mopidy working right ill be done with my project

brendanssound

Yes, these screens use the touch events of the display. Ha, yeah i realized this.. I meant since you had to go buy a new screen did you go with a touchscreen? If i remember rightly, I think you said you were stuck using a laptop screen until you got a new one? or maybe that was somebody else. For t...

brendanssound

Touch or normal screen?

The new word clock is pretty awesome, loving it.

9and3r - I don't have the calibration file mentioned in that link. I tried to make one but
it seems to have no effect. Again.. The touch works perfect outside of any kivy screens.

brendanssound

First of all.. what the hell was up with my formatting in my last post? haha.. that's shocking. This screen calls Mopidy Core API. This makes the screen unaware where the song is coming from (this is handled by mopidy) so it should work with any song that mopidy sees. In my case I am testing with sp...

brendanssound

The one done with kivy is starting and has very limited functionality now, but it would get more functionality in the future (probably the same or more than mopidy-touchscreen). So i take it it's not as simple as transferring over the python script already there and making it kivy compatible There ...

brendanssound

Spent the whole night fiddling with this.. Must sleep soon.. nearly 5am. But here is what iv learned: I did another fresh install to try out https://github.com/9and3r/RPi-InfoScreen-Kivy Installed mopidy first and set it up to run as a service (and the dependencies) etc When i start the main script ...

brendanssound

:D Whoopeee! Sounds like 2 great minds with the same idea could make something very cool. Also: https://github.com/elParaguayo/RPi-InfoScreen-Kivy https://github.com/9and3r/RPi-InfoScreen-Kivy No wonder i was getting lost while searching for the best solution to my needs.. The pages are identical. S...

brendanssound

Ha, Silly me.. disabled the template before i even looked at it.. Not too sure why i would have done that.

Waittt a minute.. so if i mixed 9and3r's script for Mopidy with your clock/weather.. that should work.. right?

brendanssound

Good start, I like the way this is going... And i have plenty of appreciation for people making great things with programming :D Even better when they share it so we can all come together to make even bigger things and awe at the possibilities. No problem at all. I expected this to be the case for ...

brendanssound

Hey man, I recently tried out your clock program for my sunrise alarm project. I absolutely love your work and i want to use it. The trouble is everything aside from the clock and weather has no use for me. Instead i wanted to be able to use a screen as a music player (either locally or preferably w...

brendanssound

Day 2:

Got the infoscreen setup.. Do like the clock very much. Not entirely sure how i am going to go about
adding notepad, emails, player for spotify, etc

In the right hands a good programmer could definitely do A LOT with this.. Gotta keep reading up on Kivy i think
and see what i can manage.

brendanssound

I like the idea of dclock and how its a "widget" too.. might be something to look into as well. It's now nearing 4:30am.. I have no idea why but Kivy and Cython (one of the dependencies for Kivy) has been soooo slow to install. I'm following the instructions elParaguayo apparently used but stuff tha...

brendanssound

Might be onto a good thing here Scotty. I'll have a go thanks!

brendanssound

Not entirely sure which part of the forums something like this belongs in, If not here please move this thread. So i am currently in the process of building a Sunrise Alarm clock/Media player..? I suppose that would be the best way to describe it... Iv built a case from perspex, mounted a 7" touch s...
