I rediscover recently volumio. It might replace my current daphile setup soon…I installed volumio on on my diy streamer. I am now willing to see what can be done with the two lcds that are connected through USB to my x86 motherboard. I am uisng usb2serial backpack + lcd coming from adafruit. Both were running fine with daphile on which i ended develping a dedicated service to retrive songs /artists info from the LMS server…
I would like to reprocduce this.
1/first issue I bumpde in was the ssh access that I overcame easily reading the faq
2/second one is actually the /dev/ttyACM permission denied error I tried some chmod 666 and other command to add the volumio user to the dialout group…but without success.
I run volumio from a usb at the moment.
3/How do people usually handle lcd to display songs /artist / bitrate infos ?
Most people use the ‘Touch Screen plugin’ on SBCs through i2c or hdmi out. For x86, again hdmi, so you’re out trailblazing on this one Let us know how you get on.
I know i don’t go the usual track, however I am very sqtisfied with my current setups (I run two systems based on x86 hardware : both formerly on daphile…the first iteration was using x86 motherboard connected to an ardunio on wich an oled was connected (could I have done more complicated ? I doubt it … second one also based on x86 hw+ usb to serial adafruit backpack…in both case lcd or oled was showing up as ttyACM0 )
Now volumio seems like daphile to support the lcd backpack, my lcd is appearing as ttyACM0…I could recreate some dirty scripts as I did last time (init.d and rc files leveraging some python scripts) but I am so poor at developing that it does not fulfill my expectations…
I looked at the different works, python-mpd2, mpdlcd. But It seems to me that they are all raspeberry related…All I am looking for is right python scripts that could run in the background as a service and provide me with song title, duration of song, artist, album and bitrate. I Think I could handle the display part…
I managed to write a simple python program based on some python-mpd2 libraries…however I am only querying mpd one shot…I’d rather register to ao ngoing stream of data…That I don’t know how to do…
Shall I precise again that I am no good at developing
my vintage streamer based on a sony dsr1000 from the 90’s…
Let us know how you get on.
