I have a DIY rasp pi4 tube dac streamer and I have not updated the software in a couple years. A few days ago it stopped working so I figured it was time for a fresh install.
I reformatted my memory card and installed Volumio 3.819 and Peppy screensaver 2.2.1. I have the streamer working but I have a couple items to resolve.
I installed the GPIO buttons plugin to turn off the rasp PI4. The function works but I would like the push button indicator light to stay on when the PI4 is powered on. With my previous install I had a command in a userconfig file. Should I add the command to a userconfig file?
The second issue is the 1920 x 480 monitor is not showing the screensaver. With my previous install I had commands in a userconfig file for the screen size and orientation. Should I add the commands to a userconfig file?
There is also a plugin called GPIO control where you can control external LED’s.
If you want to turn a LED on as soon as the rpi is powering up, add to /boot/userconfig.txt: gpio=XX=op,dh
where xx is the used GPIO pin.
Almost every screen has a set of settings that needs to be added /boot/userconfig.txt
I was able to install Volumio 3.189 and Peppy screensaver 2.2.1 wired to the router with everything working but I cannot setup the wireless connection.
In the Volumio app on my phone I click configure a new device, click wireless, it finds a temporary wifi network and when I click on it the next screen has device found, select a wireless network, your current network or select a wireless network but there is nothing to select. Eventually the app locks me out. Now my phone is asking if I want to put the Volumio app to sleep as it keeps crashing.
Prior to this I was able to setup the wireless connection when i was trying to load Volumio and the screensaver.
I also tried to setup the wireless connection with my tablet and I get the same results.
I have two DIY streamers I am trying to update software on the SD card. One streamer is running a Rasp PI4, tube output, 1924x480 screen and it needs to be wireless. I was able to load Volumio 3.819 and Peppy 2.2.1 on the SD card wired to the router. The only thing outstanding is it will not allow me to setup a wireless connection. When it finds the temporary wifi connection and I click on it it either kicks me out of the app or the next screen does not come up my wifi network to add my password. I would like to avoid reformatting the SD card as everything is working but a wireless connection.
My second streamer is using a PI5 and DAC with OPamps and no screen. I want to load Volumio 3.819 and Peppy 2.2.1 in case I add a screen. If I load Volumio 3.816 using BalenEtcher it allows me to setup my wireless connection although it looks like it automatically updates Volumio to the current version. After I install the plugin I enable SSH, open a terminal screen but I am not able to connect using SSH whether I type ssh volumio@volumio.local or I pull the IP address from the app and add it to ssh volumio@(my volumio IP address).
For issue 1:
Connect to a cable and setup wifi, if it still fails post a log
For Issue 2:
You enable SSH via <Volumio-ip-address>/dev ?
Both Volumio and the device you try to SSH into Volumio are on the same network and same subnet, (same starting IPs, like 192.168.1.x).?
To install the Peppy screensaver plugin do I need to be wired or can I go through the steps when wireless as well.
issue 1: I connected the Pi4 to a router cable and on my phone open a browser with volumio.local. I went to the network screen, click on my wifi network and added my password. I tried a few times and it would not save my password. Is there another way to setup the wireless connection?
issue 2: yes, I enable SSH via <Volumio-ip-address>/dev
I only have 1 network and subnet and I will trying to connect via wireless connection.
Thanks for everyones assistance, I was able to sort it out.
I installed Volumio, and the touch screen plugin. Setup the wireless connection. Than I wired the Rasp Pi to the router, installed the Peppy screensaver plugin. That seemed to work for me.
