Raspdac not compatible with latest Volumio 2

[jsaathof]

I upgraded to the latest version of Volumio 2 (version 2.413). This version fails to start if the Raspdac plugin is installed. I fails with the following messages:

error: !!!! WARNING !!!!
error: The plugin user_interface/raspdac failed to load, setting it ti stopped. Error: Error: The module '/data/plugins/user_interface/raspdac/node_modules/epoll/build/Release/epoll.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 48. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm- install`).
error: !!!! WARNING !!!!

I removed the directory to get Volumio running again. Now the module cannot be reinstalled since Volumio only allows plugins from a repository. Can you please upgrade your plugin and publish it correctly.

Thanks in advance.

I just submit a patch to Volumio plugin to be hosted in the store.
The patch normally fix the epoll version problem.
The pull request has been created... just have to to wait for Volumio to accept it.

Any progress for this ticket?

Waiting for news!

The ticket in the voiumio plugins repository has been closed due to incompatibility issues. Can this be fixed?

Hi,
I finally got time to work on this plugin.
I just made some bug fixes :

• shutdown is working properly
• made some fixes for the display, but still got problem on it . If you stop and restart the plugin, the display will show waste.
  I'm still investigate for this bug. I'm suspecting that lcd node object doesn't support to be recreate after it free all gpio it used. I need to contact lcd author for his help.
  By the way, all modifications has been push into the gh-pages branch of the https://github.com/JedS/volumio-plugins repository.

Thanks JedS for working on the plugin!

Now I got the plugin 0.0.8 running - results of first tests:

• Display now displays text correctly (no waste anymore)
• But: The track length is not updated when you switch to the next song while playing the first song.
• Shutdown does still not work properly.

Can you please explain what is not working with Shutdown ?
Does the hardware shutdown working (push power button until shutdown) ?
What does software shutdown do ?
What does software restart do ?

Booting works fine:

• I press the button and it starts blinking
• After booting has finished, button stops blinking and light ist on
• After a few seconds the welcome melody is played
  Shutdown doesn't work:
• I press the button and it starts blinking
• After a few seconds the shutdown melody is played
• Then waste is shown on display (s. picture below)
• Nothing happened then, the lamp is still blinking and Volumio is still online

Any updates or even plans for a fix? I have seen the merge request ticket has been closed at the Volumio plugin repository. I'm not a Node coder so I cannot fix this myself.
