Peppy Meter Basic - The plugin!

Plugins
1

I’m happy to share with you a new plugin (beta) PeppyMeterBasic v0.0.1 !
What ?

  • provide a simple installation for Peppy Meter
  • possibility to use your own meter in the shared folder /data/INTERNAL/PeppyMeterBasic/Templates. The folder MUST be named widthxheight-description ex: 800x400-mynicemeters
  • collection of meters can be stored on a Github folder to be shared for all. I’m waiting for your creations! :smile:
  • tested on RPI4, RPI5, x86
  • works with FusionDsp and SW volume mixer

There is no concurrences with the very nice PeppyMeter, PeppyMeterBasic does not display MetaData, just meters. And probably don’t work with DSD track…
Do not use with other Peppy meter or spectrum.

To test, enable plugin test mode in http://IP/dev

So this means that it won’t break OTA and later on we can also set the position of the template?
The latter is a huge advantage of Peppy_Meter, as we can place it as overlay on “Manifest UI” or “Now Playing”.

yes, it is…
AS peppy spectrum…
ANd works with FusionDsp and SW volume

Hi. Can I change the size to 1920x1080? Thanks.

Yes. You have to create your meters with resolution you need and place them in a folder call 1920x1080-mymeters in the shared folder INTERNAL/PeppyMeterBasic/Templates.

Is it possible to position the meter like this?

15

Hello
I tested this but the result is a black rectangle from the top left corner of the screen to the meters. Something doesn’t work as expected with transparency. But I don’t know how to make it work. This is something in peppy with the frameebuffer… If someone knows?

16

it’s related to pygame. It won’t accept a transparent background.

17

Ok… Too bad :disappointed:
Thanks

Or this? With 1920x1080 background with meter at the center.

Yes. But hidden metadata…
If you are the owner, I could add it to the package!
What do you think?

Yes . It is okay for me. Much appreciated .
