[closed] Pirate Radio Kit: Mopidy crashes

Hi,
I got my mono pirate radio (RPi Zero W + PhatBeat) and installed it. Everything installed fine but Mopidy seems t crash frequently :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service mopidy status

Any idea where to look further to debug?

This is a known issue with the dmix ALSA plugin in Stretch breaking Pi VU Meter for reasons I’ve been unable to track down so far. You can fix it by dropping dmix, which you can do by replacing your /etc/asound.conf with: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimoroni/pivumeter/master/dependencies/etc/asound.conf
