+--- Thread: [How to do instruction] 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi (/showthread.php?tid=155)
RE: 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi - v12nut - 12-28-2024
Hi all,
I am trying to get MPD-oled to work on a Pi3b running Moode 9.2.0. I have tried installing from source but end up with no action on the screen. Am I missing something? I skipped the Cava install as I do not want a spectrum. It is a 3.12 SPI oled screen.
Cheers

Hi v12nut
It may be that mpd_oled is exiting because it can't start cava. I recommend following the mpd_oled installation instructions with regard to cava.

Thanks Adrian,
So I need to install Cava even though I do not want a Spectrum? also which Oled type should I choose for a ssd1322 spi screen?
cheers

Hi v12nut
Your display is unsupported. From the mpd_oled README: "The program supports I2C and SPI 128x64 OLED displays with an SSD1306, SSD1309, SH1106 or SSH1106".

Thanks, I shall try another screen that is supported.
I also have a 'MPD-OLED error database locked' when I check the mpd status, is this related to the incorrect screen?
cheers

Sorry, I don't know what that error message means.

Any idea if we can get this to show spotify info now that it shows up on the moode web ui?
RE: 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi - adrii - 01-23-2025
Hi dwhacks
Moode writes details about the current song into a file called currentsong.txt, and mpd_oled reads it from there. When using Spotify the song details are not written to this file and so are not displayed by mpd_oled. I recommend posting to the end of the following thread that you are interested in having the Spotify song details appear in currentsong.txt

Just wanted to say i just finished setting up a display (SPI type SH1106) on current moode 9.2.4 with the instructions given for installing mpd_oled for moode 8 using source.
I have almost no bash knowledge, but thanks to the detailed instructions by adrii, it was quite doable.
For the inexperienced like me, it might good to know that the display will only show its first sign of life once everything is setup correctly and the mpd_oled service is started.
Thanks a lot adrii (and tim)!

Hi rirori010
Well done! I'm pleased it worked out for you.
