PyDPF not working due to Google disabling API!

[BigRon]

Hi there...

Finally now after nearly 2 days of trying out , installing things, many compiling errors and so on I got the Firmwares compiled from " http://dpf-ax.svn.sourceforge.net/ " ...

God I was raging many times til now! ^^

I flashed then the PearlDisplay (AX206) Landscape Mode while in Bootloader Mode and now there are many eyes looking at me! ^So the Flashing was successfull...

Now I also compiled lcd4linux and it is working and also installed tightvnc to get the PyDpf.py with my MPD Server working.

I am startig tightvnc with folowing command:
vncserver :2 -geometry 320x240 -depth 24

And after executing PyDPF.py I am getting following error:
[code]

root@soprano:/home/lcd4linuxstuff/pydpf/pydpf# python PyDPF.py

I think it has to do with google disabling the Weather API. But I disabled as shown in the pydpf Config file the Weather feature and the Picture-Show Feature but it still gives me this error.
Is there a different easier way to show the VNC Screen on the DPF?
Can someone help me with this... I am near to completion...

And What I also wanted to ask:

I wanted to get the Display right into VNC Mode after bootup displaying MPD Informations or the XSession. How to do this with

Is there also a way to change the view-mode of PyDPF while running? So e.g. when MPD is Playing it shows the MPD Informations and when MPD is not playing any Music the Display will show Time and weather or something else like disabling itself?

Thank you in advance. Man. This was a real PITA to the state I got this working now. Only the PyDPF errors arent resolved now... I am really happy about any help!

Thank you!

Greetings Ron!

You can try to disable "weather" feature :
In config.py set
WEATHER_CITY=""

Actually there is no feature to define which screen shall be started at first and it depends on the code/order in PyDPF.py lines 475...490.

Hence you can set USE_MPD=False and VNC is started first but MPD-client is disabled or change initialsation order order in above mentioned code for your needs.

Hope that helps !?
