Hi, I am new to LMS - downloaded it and it's now running on a Raspi B. I find it works better than Mopidy or Volumio - primarily because the music doesn't stutter when I ask the poor RasPi to do something!! Anyway, I have a HD44780 16x2 LCD hooked up and couldn't find a nice way to write to it. - Squeezeslave does LCD output, but Spotify (official or Triode's otherwise excellent plugin) wouldnt stream to Squeezeslave - The original squeezelite did play Spotify, but did output to LCD - I did find the squeezelite+squeezeslave combo, but then found that the first line displayed only "now playing" and the time remaining. A waste of good space, I thought, on a 16x2 LCD!!
So I hacked together a script - I am not a software coder by any means, and do not know python - so please go easy. I wrote the script by reading online examples of python code. Python's telnetlib didnt work for me - I couldnt figure out how to use to read the output line by line and escape out etc. Hence the use of subprocess.popen I would be delighted with feedback to improve the code. I am not sure if this leaks memory etc. - no idea how to check either. if it works for you, have fun. if it doesn't please let me know and I will do my best to debug. If you can tell me how to fix a bug you find, even better!! :-) The github link is on the next post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ surfatwork's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65589 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105386 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
