Since PeppyMeter Basic does not show metadata, how come most if not all the templates have space/provision for metadata? Or to be more precise, are there more simple, big, meter-only templates and love for 1280x800? =)
@RedEyeNinja
because you are using Peppymeter full templates.
Edit1:
They will be here soon 
Edit2:
(1280x800 are already here)

Cool…where can I find them?
I was using the 1280x800 ones off the Templates section on here.

hi everyone.
i have two questions:
- why does the meter work sporadically?
- can i see the meter on the screensaver?
Hello
I have no clue for how meters are working (stop - restart).
But, good news, it seems to work really better with the beta of volumio based on bookworm.
I suggest you to give a try.
What do you mean on the screen saver?
in the touchscreen plug-in there is a timer to start the screensaver. at that time start the pepper…
I did some tests.
I reinstalled everything from scratch on the new version of volume 3.812 and the operation is random. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t… or while it is working, after a few seconds it stops! However, I noticed that if I set the headphones as audio output rather than my external USB DAC it works well. How can I solve the problem?
@Gelo5 please…
for me it’s good “fluo-blue-linear”
ok for the skin, i can use different but the true problem is this!
Try this:
1.install Bookworm v.67 on a new SD card
https://dev-updates.volumio.org/pi/volumio/0.067/Volumio-0.067-2025-05-19-pi.zip
2.install the touchdisplay plugin
3.instal Peppymeter Basic plugin

No more work will be done for buster. As suggested by @Gelo5 , try with bookworm
Please report here how it works.
Thanks
ok…
@Gelo5 and @balbuze I installed the beta version you reported but it is very slow on my PI4b and it crashes continuously. While I was trying to launch the touch screen plugin, it crashed at 60%.
Now I’m trying to put another repository… but I think it’s going to be hard!
in that case I’ll reformat and start over!
This is the Alpha version.
Just do a Factory Reset.
I have it installed on 3 Rpi4, works great.
If something is wrong -
post the log here:
https://community.volumio.com/t/public-alpha-test-audio-without-compromise-volumio-on-bookworm-begins/
or post the log in this thread
maybe the problem is your Rpi or SD card or network or…?
Edit: try updating the eeprom in Rpi. Connect via SSH and type;
sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a
sudo reboot

Sorry… I’m saddened, but I’ve reverted to version 3.812. My touchscreen now works and the Peppymeter works great when using headphones or HDMI audio instead of the USB DAC.
Very useful plugin. Edited for myself 480x320 panel for 3.5 LCD: pure black background and larger text.
It would be nice if it automatically switched somehow with the standard display layout. For example, when starting a song (5 seconds) and on pause standard layout and the rest of the time PMB.
hello!
you can still edit
/data/plugins/user_interface/peppyspectrum/startpeppyspectrum.sh
and add before python3 spectrum.py
sleep=5
like that
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0
cd /data/plugins/user_interface/peppyspectrum/PeppySpectrum
sleep 5
python3 spectrum.py
should do the trick
