Spectrum works great! Good job!

HI Balbuze

I installed the plugin, see above the sequence of the process, then reboot volumio.
Here is the setting screen I have. the spectrum is not displayed.

====
ssh volumio@volumio.local
password volumio

data/INTERNAL

cd /data/INTERNAL
mkdir peppyspectrum
cd peppyspectrum
mkdir templates
exit

on the pc, cd to the directory where files to copy are (temp)
scp c:/temp/peppyspectrum.zip volumio@volumio.local:/data/INTERNAL/peppyspectrum.zip
scp c:/temp/800x480_9skin.zip volumio@volumio.local:/data/INTERNAL/800x480_9skin.zip

ssh volumio@volumio.local
password volumio
cd /data/INTERNAL
miniunzip peppyspectrum.zip -d ./peppyspectrum
miniunzip 800x480_9skin.zip -d ./peppyspectrum/templates

balbuze · December 1, 2023, 5:14pm

Remove old plugin.
Download the last version in /data/INTERNAL
then

mkdir ps
miniunzip peppyspectrum.zip -d ./ps
cd ps
volumio plugin install
cd ..
rm -Rf ps

reboot
You don’t have to create the Templates folder. Just drop spectrum unzipped folder in it like

/Templates/myspectrum(800x600)

did you change default password in volumio?

gvida · December 1, 2023, 5:36pm

no, no !

balbuze · December 1, 2023, 5:38pm

did you remove folders you created in /data/INTERNAL?

Gelo5 · December 1, 2023, 5:40pm

Another method - use e.g. Fillezilla

Physically erase Peppyspectrum from (/data/plugins/user_interface/peppymeter and /data/INTERNAL/PeppySpectrum
Unpack peppyspectrum.zip on your computer
Create a Peppyspectrum folder in /home/volumio and copy the unpacked folder
Go to home/volumio/peppyspectrum via SSH and use the command
volumio plugin install.
End

Now unzip the skins folder (on your computer) and move the entire folder to: /data/INTERNAL/PeppySpectrum/Templates

gvida · December 1, 2023, 5:47pm

cannot delete the directory
volumio@volumio:/data/INTERNAL$ rm -r PeppySpectrum
rm: descend into write-protected directory ‘PeppySpectrum’? y
rm: cannot remove ‘PeppySpectrum/Templates’: Permission denied

Gelo5 · December 1, 2023, 5:48pm

Then delete the contents or chnage name

balbuze · December 1, 2023, 5:48pm

sudo rm..

gvida · December 1, 2023, 5:55pm

point 1 done
point 3 name is Peppyspectrum or PeppySpectrum ?

Gelo5 · December 1, 2023, 5:57pm

Hello!
PeppySpectrum is now available in the plugin store (beta).
What’s in ?

custom Spectrum
custom resolution
custom Spectrum size (number of bars)

In a very easy way. Just drop the folder with your custom Spectrum in the shared folder
/INTERNAL/PeppySpectrum/Templates/
with the naming convention :
myspectrum(weightxhighxnnumberofbars) ex : metal(800x600x30)
Number of bars can be omitted, then default is 30.
As it is always pleasant to have ready to use nice Spectrums, our best creator, @Gelo5 did it!
Warning : it’s beta
Known issue : does not work with software volume mixer!
