Hello… I have installed peppymeter in my volumio + raspberry music player, but it doesn’t show the album art, it shows the album art on the normal volumio screen. I look forward to everyone’s help.
And is the metadata displayed? (title, artist etc)
What version of fw and what version of Peppymeter?
Im updated today to new volumio os v 3.703 & Peppy meter V2.2.0… All skins working but not displaying album art, title, time etc… Just blank…
Can you check this.
python3
import pygame
This show the version pygame
You can close python with
quit()
3.703
Im not that expert in software… Can you please explain in detail how to do it.
connect to volumio via Putty
and enter these 2 commands
You mean open putty then
- Enter import pygame
2.quit()
Correct…?
python3
import pygame
You have everything installed correctly. It’s hard to say why it doesn’t show the cover. Maybe uninstall Peppymeter and reinstall.
Oh ok…it was working few hours back but suddenly stopped displaying… Anywats i will reinstall peppy meters once again and update you the status… Thanks
I have the same problem as you,
Could you tell me the reason for this? How was it resolved?
Volumio 3.703 running in X86 Pad,
PeppyMeter /PeppySpectrum can be living, but I can’t see Albumart and PlayInfo.
All skins working but not displaying album art, title, time etc… Just blank…
I use 1280x800_custom_4 of templates .
Volumio 3.703
PeppyMeter 2.2.1
PYGame 1.9.4.post1
The easiest way is to do a factory reset
and reinstall. Pygame is available in the following versions:2.6, volumio: 3.742

I have the same problem with PeppyMeter!
-no Album art displaying-
Everything else works!
My versions:
on an x86
Volume 3,779 freshly installed several times
only PeppyMeter PlugIn
Python 3.7.3
pygame 1.9.4.post1
unfortunately no album dates or anything like that.
and
no possibility to update pygames
Please help!
I think your posting in the wrong topic.
Peppy_meter => rPi
Basic Peppy_meter => rPi and x86 ( no meta data or albumart)
Basic peppy Rpi and x86
you’re correct, updated my post.
Thank you very much for your support!
You are doing a great job!
The only thing that was confusing before was that PeppyMeter and PeppyMeter Basic are not quite the same and you also have to differentiate between the hardware.
I have now spent half the night reading about PeppyMeter and x86 and have seen that it is not entirely trivial to install PeppyMeter and my luck also depends on the hardware.
Fortunately PeppyMeter Basic runs excellently on my x86 - just without album art etc…
But I do have one final question: @balbuze
PeppyMeter Basic plugin runs so well on the x86, so why is it that no meta data or album art is displayed… it can’t be much more? 
Thank you!
Hello.
Peppy meter basic does not provide metadata because to do that we must modify volumio system files and then prevent updating volumio. .
In the next volumio some improvement are expected to to use meters as an overlay, basically displaying meters on the main page.
But no release date for this.
