Connecting the screen via hdmi in volumio

Ok,

You connected to screen to the HDMI port next to the USB-C power plug?
The installation of the touch plugin went without any errors?
Do you see anything on the screen while booting up?

  1. No, second one
  2. Yes…got everything OK
  3. No…nothing. Only black screen all the time
  • put the screen to the first HDMI port
  • Uninstall V3.4.0
  • Reboot
  • Check date on the rPi if it is correct, if not correct it.
  • run sudo apt-get update
  • Install the touch display plugin again and monitor very carefully if there are no errors

Thx for Help

Did you get it working after the blank screen problem? I had the blank screen issue, after connecting to a Samsung tv. Via the mobile app I enabled touch screen keyboard and virtual mouse under the plugin settings and after a reboot l was able to see the Volumio GUI.

That being said I don’t think this is workable with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, as it feels under powered and I can’t seem to shift from web radio to Spotify Connect.

I am wondering if any others are using Pi Zeros and can talk to performance with a display attached.

RPi Zero (both 1 and 2) have too little RAM to run smoothly with the video output on. They are OK for headless with no UI on display, if you want that feature better to get a RPI4 or RPi5
