INSTALLATION STEPS:

• Follow steps described on https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-16x2-character-lcd-plus-keypad-for-raspberry-pi/usage
• Now Adafruit libs are installed, create symbolic links from jopi-mpd folder:
  • ln -s [adafruit_path]/Adafruit_CharLCDPlate/Adafruit_CharLCDPlate.py
  • ln -s [adafruit_path]/Adafruit_I2C/Adafruit_I2C.py
  • ln -s [adafruit_path]/Adafruit_MCP230xx/Adafruit_MCP230xx.py
• Create a "playlists" folder in /var/lib/mpd/music/WEBRADIO , where you would put any playlist or radio "pls" files you want ; or alternatively, if you want to use another folder, just change the variable named "playlistRelPath" in jopi-mpd.py
• You can try now by running (with sudo) jopi-mpd.py
• If you want to start jopi-mpd automatically at startup:
  • Declare it as a service, by copying /init.d/jopi-mpd to /etc/init.d
    • You may have to manually edit this file: change variable "DAEMON" to match the path of your jopi-mpd installation (currently it's "DAEMON=/home/pi/jopi-mpd/$NAME.py")
  • And then make it autostarts: sudo update-rc.d jopi-mpd defaults
