GPIO Buttons - Error creating input device - failed to add edge detection

[Pete060490]

---EDIT: SOLVED---

So, after doing some more digging I found another post describing this problem, I don't know why I haven't found it before writing this issue, but hey, better late then never. Issue.

What I did is described there as well, but for anyone looking for it, here it is.

systemctl --user stop jukebox-daemon

# replace rpi-gpio with rpi-lgpio
cd ~/RPi-Jukebox-RFID
source .venv/bin/activate
pip uninstall rpi-gpio
pip install rpi-lgpio

# change pin_factory type from the default to LGPIO
pin_factory:
  type: lgpio.LGPIOFactory

systemctl --user start jukebox-daemon

--- OLD POST---

Hej everyone,

I might need some help here and I'm starting to pull my hair out. Currently, I'm setting up buttons for my Phoniebox. I've enabled the GPIO module and created a very simple gpio.yaml config. I'm using version 3future.

pin_factory:
  type: rpigpio.RPiGPIOFactory
input_devices:
  PlayPause:
    type: Button
    kwargs:
      pin: 26
      pull_up: true
    actions:
      on_press:
        alias: toggle

The following error appears on jukebox startup.

26.01.2026 11:39:07 -  620:plugs.py           - jb.plugin            - MainThread      - DEBUG    - Package load finalizer: calling gpio.finalize()

dmesg gives this output

export_store: invalid GPIO 26

There is no other process running on that pin (at least that I know of). Cabeling is correct and verified manually. Did anyone run into this? Help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Jan

Hi, i assume you installed the main branch on bookworm (now the OS legacy Version).
This is not compatible yet (see release notes).
Please use the develop branch for full support.

Well, I followed the install guide and read somewhere, that Trixie isn't supported, but Bookwork is. There isn't even an option for Bullseye in the RPi Imager anymore so it might help to update the documentation to reflect that. :)
