Hello!
A first version of PeppyMeter plugin is out!
It requires testing :wink:
You need a Buster version with modular_alsa enabled and other fixes (node path, etc).
You need touch_display installed
Once ready, just install the plugin, enable and… that’s it!
Tested only with RPI4 + official 7"

Tested in 3.014 only…
before trying, you need to
Disable plugin such as equalizer if any and

sudo ln -s "$(which node)" /usr/local/bin/node
sudo ln -s "$(which npm)" /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo ln -s "$(which npm)" /bin/npm

and modular_alsa enabled

cd /volumio
volumio pull -b dev/buster/alsa-pipeline https://github.com/timothyjward/Volumio2
cd ..
cd /volumio
nano .env

and change lines

WRITE_MPD_CONFIGURATION_ON_STARTUP=true
MODULAR_ALSA_PIPELINE=true

and restart

volumio vrestart

and
You have to be root

su
echo ‘/opt/vc/lib’ >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-vmcs.conf

and

/sbin/ldconfig

Installing is long because it needs to compile peppyalsa. Be patient… But when the plugin appears in UI, it is ready!

37

@balbuze asla seems to fail after it all can’t play songs any more…

su
echo ‘/opt/vc/lib’ >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-vmcs.conf

and

/sbin/ldconfig

seems to end on bash-5.0#… pasted the text in it …

btw the 3.10 seems to be a bit diffirent then the 3.14

38

Have you enabled modular_alsa?
Have you sound with the plugin desactivated?
what is /etc/asound.conf ?

39

at the moment i have no sound any more how to enable modular_asla installed it …

pcm.!default {
    type             copy
    slave.pcm       "volumio"
}

pcm.volumio {
    type             copy
    slave.pcm       "volumioPeppyalsa"
}

pcm.volumioPeppyalsac {
    type lfloat
    slave.pcm "volumioPeppyalsac"
    slave.format "FLOAT"
}

pcm.volumioPeppyalsa  {
	type meter
        slave.pcm "postpeppyalsa"
        scopes.0 peppyalsa
}


pcm_scope.peppyalsa {
        type peppyalsa
        decay_ms 400
        meter "/tmp/myfifopeppy"
        meter_max 100
        meter_show 1
     
}

pcm_scope_type.peppyalsa {
        lib /usr/local/lib/libpeppyalsa.so
}

pcm.postpeppyalsac {
    type lfloat
    slave.pcm "postpeppyalsa"
    slave.format "S24_LE"
}

pcm.postpeppyalsa {
  type copy
  slave.pcm "postPeppyalsa"
}


pcm.postPeppyalsa {
    type             copy
    slave.pcm       "volumioOutput"
}


# There is always a plug before the hardware to be safe
pcm.volumioOutput {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "volumioHw"
}

pcm.volumioHw {
    type hw
    card 3
}

This seems ok!
Can you check if peppyalsa is well compiled/installed ?

ls /usr/local/lib/libpeppyalsa.*
41

can not access ```
ls /usr/local/lib/libpeppyalsa.*

it's not there only python 2.7 & python 3.7 and 2 libsox files
42

check if a peppyalsa folder exists in /tmp
if yes go in it and try

sudo make install
43

not there…

44

Remove the plugin and resinstall it…

45

ok …will do…`

It is supposed to be downloaded from github. Have you problem with that?
And wait while installing, it may takes several minutes…

47

gonna try the 3.14 this hangs on 10%

48

Nice balbuze :slight_smile: the first step is done. It will be great that also others users will test this in order to find more use cases so that col dev to integrated of necessary the missing info in the release.
I will also try it next week when I will go home.
