Peppy meter not working properly

Thank you so much for quick support. Settings done as you me mentioned… but peppy is not turning on . also song duration is not displaying when playing radio stations…Youtube is showing…Also mailed to 2aCD and Gelio 5 earlier today… still waiting to the kind support from experts.

Are you sure this is a “clean” installation?
Have you uninstalled Peppyscreen and installed the new version?
PS. TouchDisplay 3.3.5 version?

Do it again on a clean SD card, volumio (3.631), touch (3.3.8), peppy (1.5.0)
It has to work

Radio stations do not always provide song times

Indeed. I tried formatting my 32GB SD Ultra card with the most recent versions of the Volumio OS 3.631, Peppy Screen Saver 1.5.0, and Touch Display Plugin 3.3.8, but it didn’t work. Peppy doesn’t switch on by itself. If it is enabled after a few minutes, the touch screen is hanging and the peppy needle is not moving… Anyways i will try again the steps from the beginning…then i will update you…

Thank you

John

@dvo @Gelo5 I was the one who helped him a bit through Facebook.
@Naveen do it right the first time and not if this happens, otherwise you could run into problems… pay attention to that :wink:

Yeah, something is going wrong, Had a fresh Volumio install (with latest one from the zip in post 7, yesterday) and peppy didn’t start. If i tried the same calling it manually, but it keeps throwing random segmentation faults (PM V1.5.0).
So I took the backup SD from before the fresh install, (PM V1.4.0), that one worked.

Also the uninstall from V1.5.0 seems broken. It leaves folders intact. Needed to manual remove them in order to reinstall them.

pygame is updated for 1.5.0 so you could not use a old version because it doesn’t overwrite
a old version. that’s why you need to use a clean install of all.
and he had to use the touch plugin 3.3.8 instead of the 3.3.5
it could be that he runs in to errors mine hanged at 70%
switched repository mirror discribed here to install it :

it was a fresh Volumio install…

yes but he was still running touch plugin 3.3.5 instead of 3.3.8

@gelo5 had it running so it should work.

( i didn’t use peppy in my install yet and i updated it all OTA so no clean install. )

Confirmed working!

RPi5-8GB/fan
Geekworm X1001 NVMe Hat
Volumio v3.638
Inland 2TB NVMe 3.0x4 (no more Micro SD Card)
Touch Display Plugin 3.3.8
PeppyMeter Screen Saver Plugin - 1.5.0
Power Supply - Official Raspberry Pi 27w

v1.4.2 peppy also cannot be uninstalled.
system version: 3.631.

uninstall would not work, even if you could remove it all because of pygame older version that is installed.
fresh install is needed for the 1.5.0 version.

Then we’ll do a new install and see if it works.

Disagreed! Yesterday, I tried to uninstalled the 1.4.2 and of course, it gave me an error. I had everything set up on my 1TB NVMe so I just deleted the whole folder of /data/plugins/user_interface/peppy_screensaver then reboot. After reboot, the 1.4.2 was gone and I was be able to install the 1.5.0. I don’t remember if I had to do a “Factory Reset” or not. :slight_smile:

Anyway, today I just replaced the 1TB with a 2TB NVMe and did a fresh install and everything is working fine.

** Verified - No “Factory Reset” needed!

Yes, something goes wrong with the uninstaller.
And it has nothing to do with V1.5.0…

Agreed! I’m sure Falk will fix it very soon. :slight_smile:

new install system version 3.631, peppy v1.5.0.

@Naveen everything works, also random (mode interval) interval set to 15, playing internet radio.
the screen continues to work and does not stop or an error with the touch.

@Wheaten I also tried the uninstall button, same problem, error.

my settings




Great…:+1: i will try this settings… Thank you.

If you downloaded the version from post 7 (it was incorrect for an hour). You need to download it again

Oh ok… Will download again and check it…thank you
