Forum Audiophonics.fr

I have got Moode 3.5 looking pretty good on the RPI touchscreen. Rather than try to edit the css of Moode (I have no skill in this) I just added a couple of Chromium extensions to shrink it and remove the scrollbar. The extensions were Zoom and Minimal Scrollbar.

I haven't worked out how to get the matchbox-keyboard working yet but have found some guides so I should be able to do it.

I will reinstall it again when Moode 3.6 comes out shortly and hopefully do it smoother next time. If I think I have a clean install, I will write up a guide.

Thank you morias, I will follow this subject very carefully.

See you soon

These are some instructions to get the screen going. To get the power button working, have a look at the Raspdac instructions. I have given up on the matchbox-keyboard for the moment. If Audiophonics comes back to these forums, perhaps they could post some instructions. I think it may be something to do with the "focus" setting in the Customize page of Moode.

My instructions are largely based on the good work on this page so credit goes to the author:

Step 1 - Prepare your sd card

Write moode to your sd card
Go to http://moode.local
Go to configure system and choose to expand the sd card

Step 2 - Fix screen orientation

ssh pi@moode.local

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Now add the following to the bottom of the config to rotate the screen

lcd_rotate=2
avoid_warnings=1

Step 3 - Install software

sudo apt update
sudo apt install xinit xorg lsb-release xserver-xorg-legacy chromium-browser
sudo sed -i "s/allowed_users=console/allowed_users=anybody/" /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

Step 4 - Create a .xinitrc file

sudo nano /home/pi/.xinitrc

Add the following to the fie and save it

#!/bin/bash

# turn off display power management
xset -dpms &

# turn on a 10 minute screensaver
xset s 600 &

# start chromium browser
chromium-browser --kiosk --touch-events --disable-touch-drag-drop --disable-overlay-scrollbar --enable-touchview --enable-pinch --window-size=800,480 --window-position=0,0 --disable-session-crashed-bubble --disable-infobars --no-first-run --app=http://localhost/

Step 5 - Create a start-gui.sh file

sudo nano /home/pi/start-gui.sh

Add the following to the file and save it

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/xinit

Make executable by running the following

sudo chmod +x /home/pi/start-gui.sh

Step 6 - Create a service

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/start-gui.service

Add the following to the file and save it

[Unit]
Description=Start Chromium GUI
After=nginx.service php5-fpm.service mpd.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/pi/start-gui.sh
User=pi

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Step 7 - Start the service

sudo systemctl enable start-gui.service
sudo systemctl start start-gui.service

Step 8 - Modify the look of the interface

Press Ctrl tab on a keyboard connected to the Raspberry pi

Go to Chromium advance settings and set the default zoom to 75%. This can be modified to something else by "inspecting" the element. Look online for guides.

Go to Chrome extensions (chome://extensions) and install minimal scrollbar

sudo nano /home/pi/start-gui.sh

To hide the cursor make sure the nocursor flag is now included

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/xinit -- -nocursor

The display should now be working

Thank you for all those informations. I will try to make these changes when I return to my home. I hope version 3.6 that I will acquire will not pose a problem.
Cordially.

The instructions were prepared using version 3.6.

It should work for any version and is unlikely to break based on Tim's updates.

I had cause to reinstall this on a new device. This time I added the "Virtual Keyboard" chromium extension.

I now have a nice onscreen keyboard if I want to do a search.

J'ai installé Volumio sur mon Rasptouch et ça marche d'enfer ! Merci Audiophonics pour les images préparées !

Grâce à quelques astuces glanées ça et là, j'ai installé le clavier virtuel qui rend bien des services.

J'ai juste 2 bricoles qui me chagrinent :

- l'extinction de l'écran se fait au bout de 10 minutes (un peu long à mon gout). J'ai essayé de bricoler quelques valeurs dans lee fichier qui gère ça, mais cela n'a rien changé. Quelqu'un sait-il quoi modifier pour faire varier le temps de mise en veille ?

- Les boutons Repeat et Shuffle ont un temps de latence de plusieurs secondes entre l'appui et le changement d'état. Toutes les autres fonctions se déclenchent à une vitesse normale (de l'"ordre de la seconde) avec l'écran tactile à part ces deux-là. Une idée ?

Merci d'avance !
