Unable to load a playlist which points to .mp3 and other music files contained in /home/pi/Music on the SD card

Hi,

I am using SSD1306, Monochrome 0.96" 128x64 OLED from Adafruit and it did not work for me.
Turns out, that the default I2C address is 0x3D not 0x3C like some other models.
I tried changing the I2C address in the config file. But that did not work

It seems that the code uses a constat from the Adafruit library and not the I2C value from the config file.
So I changed line 36 in "ssd1306_class.py" to "oled = Adafruit_SSD1306.SSD1306_128_64(rst=RST, i2c_address=0x3d)" and that worked.

Would it be possible to add the config file I2C address varible here instead of hardcoding the address?

I had a problem with a very slow running loop that left the touch radio quite unresponsive I have changed the clock. Tick(30) in line 1383 of gradio.py to clock. Tick() and that has helped a great deal. The vgtadio.py should probably be updated as well.

It would be nice to be able to install piradio on Minimal distro like DietPi. Currently there are problems with user and home path. DietPi uses "dietpi" user instead of "pi"

After SH1106 I2C test which was unreliable (the device sometimes was disconnected and radiod crashed with I2C error), i'm a bit confused what to do change in configuration to switch I2C to SPI. Changing display_type to OLED_128x64 has no effect as the radiod is crashing with I2C error, also tried with commenting i2c_address and i2c_bus. The SPI wiring is not obvious, i used
OLED - RPi
Vcc - 3.3v
GND - GND
DIN - GPIO10
CLK - GPIO11
CS - GPIO8
D/C - GPIO24
RES - GPIO25

calling 1106 via SPI within my perl program is working fine. Any suggestions?

I frequently use my Pi without a keyboard. If it is having network problems (so no remote login), I would like to use a mouse to exit PiRadio so I can get to the desktop to reboot it.

create_stations.py --delete_old prints out the usage.

I made an update to 7.2 today on my Raspberry Pi with an Adafruit-LCD with 5 buttons.
Now the LCD stuck when i push the menu button twice for changing the playlist.

I reboot the rpi, start this skript "sudo ./radiod.py nodaemon", press the menu button twice and get this:
"
