MPD Info without CAVA?

[catalinescu-sudo]

Hello!

Is it possible to install the service as it is without the spectrum visualiser? On rpi 0 w the installing of mpd_oled makes the device respond laggy, and I believe is from the spectrum part.
I think the older versions were without the spectrum. I only need song info and clock screensaver when nothing is playing. It's doable?

Thank you for your support on volumio community

Best regards,

Hi Catalin

The spectrum display has always been included. If you want to remove it then you will need to change the code, It is probably sufficient to have have mpd_oled read the audio from a FIFO that doesn't exist ('mpd_oled -c fifo,dummy') and modify
the draw_spect_display() function in main.c to draw the display elements that you want.

Alternatively, more bars and a higher framerate require more processing, so try running running with e.g. 'mpd_oled -b 10 -f 15', and see if the player is more responsive.

Also, try running 'top' to see how much CPU the different proceses are using when the player is unresponsive.

Adrian.

@catalinescu-sudo I had mpd_oled running on my Pi 0 initially. If you want a snappier system, try a different Pi model like RPi 3, it's much more responsive and might be worth the extra £££.

Yes indeed but this is my actual setup based on the allready designed and printed case. În lun., 15 feb. 2021 la 15:24 Mr Mase <[email protected]> a scris:
