I com­mit­ted some pack­ages to the Open­Wrt trunk, some are already applied oth­ers not yet. I use Lcd4Linux to fill dis­play, MPD as music player, scmpc to sub­mit the played tracks to last.fm. Here are some pics:

    do you com­pile lcd4linux or use the ipk? looks r903 doesn’t con­tain dri­ver, and r1034/1037 gives segfault.

    and, could you tell me what lcd do you use?

    michu, you com­piled the lcd4linux your­self; could you share the ipk files ?

    hey tdouez

    you can down­load the ipk on the open­wrt site or com­pile it your­self. so the app is always up to date!

    Michu,

    I tried to com­pile lcd4linux with MPD plu­gin but I am run­ning in to issues with con­fig­ure not being able to locate libmpdclient.c and libmpdclient.h files.
    I am com­pil­ing it on Sea­gate Dock­star, run­ning Debian Squeeze, ker­nel 2.6.32–5-kirkwood.

    Stan­dard lcd4linux installed via apt-get runs fine, just does not have MPD plugin.

    Any suggestions/pointers will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Which ver­sion of lcd4linux did you tried? use the lat­est svn snap­shot, as the releases are quite old!

    Hi Michu,
    Any idea where the con­fig­ure script expect the libmpdclient.h to be located?
    I have it in ./lcd4linux direc­tory but scrip can not find it dur­ing ./configure process.
    Should it be located some­where else?

    Thanks for your help.
    Roman

    BTW, the ver­sion that I com­piled and build from SVN is 0.11.0-SVN-1092

    Hey roman, I remem­ber it was a bit funky to use libm­pd­client. If you dont mind to use a hacky approch, remove the depen­dency from auto­conf (or add a fake file), copy libm­pd­client into the lcd4linux direc­tory and include the file direct from the mpd plu­gin. I don’t know if the newest libm­pd­client will work fine with the Lcd4linux plugin.

    I would cer­tainly try that if I knew how to remove depen­dency from autoconf ;-)

    I looked at plugin_mpd.c and noticed two things:
    – since ver­sion 0.8 it does not require libmpd
    – it already has #include “libmpd/libmpdclient.h”

    Should I cre­ate ./libmpd sub­folder in the build direc­tory and copy libm­pd­client files there?

    Thanks

    OK, I guess I man­aged to remove depen­dency and I also used absolute path for libm­pd­client in plu­gin and that did it!

    Thanks for your help.

    Now I need to play with con­fig file a bit, not all wid­gets from your sam­ple con­fig file are work­ing yet.

    Glad it works now. I just remem­bered, that I wrote a patch for the lcd4linux open­wrt pack­age, see https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/packages/utils/lcd4linux/patches/150-addlibmpdclient.patch for the libm­pd­client ver­sion I used then…

    OK, I got patch file from the link above, applied it and cre­ated both libm­pd­client files and recom­piled the lcd4linux with mpd plugin.

    I cre­ated the plu­gin for mpd v0.15 or v0.14 — and I guess you’re using a v0.16+ release. I guess you have to update the plu­gin (and you a newer libm­pd­client version).

    The mpd is ver­sion 0.15.12
    I will try to update the plu­gin, but since I never did any pro­gram­ming in C, I hope you would not mind if I ask ques­tion here and there.

    Thanks

    Hi Roman,
    I did using the libmpd 0.17, mpd 0.14, hack­ing the libmpdclient.h and plugin_mpd.c.. Remem­ber that the struct into the hrader file is not cor­re­spond­ing to the reality :-)
