Si4713/Vast V-FMT212R and FPP 9.1

[lxkev]

Well

I've not done a display for two years. So I thought might as well update to 9.1 and then i discovered it breaks the SI4713 plug in. Does anybody know if there any plans to get this working with 9.1 or should i try and role back my fpp/reinstall fpp 84713/Vast V-FMT212R

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the Plugin? There have been several people that have reported it working correctly.

Anybody got any fixes? Does it work with 9.2?

Isn't working with 9.2 either on a Raspberry Pi 4, getting the same error during installation.  Even tried re-flashing the SD with the 9.2 image; no luck.  I am in desperate need for this plugin as well.

FPP Version:   9.2
Platform:   Raspberry Pi (Pi 4)

While I do not use this plugin, I did install it on my FPP v9.2 on a Pi5.
Installed perfect with no errors.

lxkev, I created a Band-Aid fix for those having the PinCapabilities error.  Paste the below link into the top of the FPP Plugins page.  A new "--FIX--" version will appear at the top of the list.  Installing this one should get us working for now on version 9.2.  I tested it last night and worked great.

Looking thru your logs a few things come to mind.
1) Remote Falcon has multiple errors in the logs
2) Vast also and seems it could not create the needed directory.
3) Seems you did an in-place upgrade from 7.3 to 9.1
Under status control / FPP Backup, make a backup of your current settings.
Then with everything I can see and understand, I would recommend imaging a new SD card with 9.2 and configure it.

Hi,

So reinstalled FPP 9.2 from the pi imager software, installed the plugin fix and still get the error.

Warning ID: 5 - Could not load plugin fpp-vastfmt-test
