Hi i am very new to all of this, trying to get this to run and I am getting:

python3 main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/mlb-led-scoreboard/main.py", line 4, in
from data.screens import ScreenType
File "/home/pi/mlb-led-scoreboard/data/init.py", line 5, in

any help is appreciated thanks

Same thing here. Not sure why?

I'm putting together a new scoreboard and ran into the same error. I created this project a while ago on a separate pi and don't remember this occurring.

Anyone have any ideas?

Just reran sudo ./install.sh

No dice :/ Could it be something with the sound device?

Oh, using venv, I do see the MLB StatsAPI now.

[pjockey]

I don't quite understand the getting into the venv by starting the main.py fuke which is outside of the venv.

[pjockey]

I have have the MLB_StatsAPI also installed in the global evironment, that's perhaps why mine is actually functioning.

[pjockey]

sudo python3 main.py --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat-pwm --led-rows=64 --led-cols=128 --led-rgb-sequence=BGR --led-brightness=60 --led-slowdown-gpio=2 --led-row-addr-type=3

This is my starting lines.

[behns13]

I might be wrong, but I don't believe that the flags have an impact here.

It feels like an installation step the gets skipped for some reason.

[pjockey]

package name is MLB-StatsAPI

[ty-porter]

Friendly reminder -- v8 and higher changes the startup commands.

sudo ./main.py <FLAGS>

Ope.

That was it. Appreciate it!

[RustyShackIeford]

I’m still having this issue.

When trying to manually install statsapi I get this:

DEPRECATION: Loading egg at /home/pi/nhlsb-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/rgbmatrix-0.0.1-py3.11-linux-armv7l.egg is deprecated. pip 24.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation.. Discussion can be found at pypa/pip#12330
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement statsapi (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for statsapi

I am also running the nhl led board separately

I can see the mlb logo flashing on my matrix panel but that’s about it seems like a boot loop

[pjockey]

Did you try the sudo ./main.py command as noted above?

https://github.com/MLB-LED-Scoreboard/mlb-led-scoreboard?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

[RustyShackIeford]

yeah! Double checked and it appeared I had an error in my config file,

working great now!

Thanks everyone for the assistance!
