Help me about LCD20x4

Hi Randy,
First time I want to say thank so much with you about this code
I’m using MoOdeAudio for playing music, and this code worked very good, but I want to edit somethings:

• Display IP, CPU...at startup
• Auto switch display info above when I paused or stopped music

Can you help me to do that ?
Thanks,

Hi,

I'm sorry for my late reply. This is something that I did for myself and decided to share it, but the script itself is very confusing and the code is badly written so I had an idea to rewrite the whole thing one day, and make it more easier to install and use and more extendable and configurable. But currently I don't have my Raspberry Pi and I don't manage to find some time to do this.

I can try to help you but I'm currently not able to test this so it will be a blind shoot.

1. Do you want to display it temporarily or you want it to be a first screen? If you want it just to be a first screen, on line 4 in "display.py" set screen to 2 instead of 0. This should force it to start from screen showing IP address. To show it temporarily on startup (the same as volume change, for eg.), you should have to do some further coding. You could try to replicate the same behavior as for volume screen eg. I tried to think of a way to give you some guidelines but I again became aware how untidy this code is and without Raspberry Pi and testing, I wasn't able to do much about it.

2. If I got it right, you would like to show IP/CPU screen while music is paused, right?

If you're not a programmer or you want some further help understanding the script, let me know and I can try to write some code for you once I get my Raspberry Pi and some free time.

   Thank you, anyway it's free to share with the community, so I don't dare to bother you if you do not have time for it.
