Hard to say. Depends on your preferences.
Now Playing has the ability to arrange everything to your liking and has some gimmicks like weather and Lyrics.
If you just want music information, artist and album, the manifest is all you need.
Not from usability perspective but from “working” perspective …
My thought was if “now playing” works better with contemporary or classic UI design.
Any hint for “non-working” - behaviour still the same …

Please note that I have tried it with a blank userconfig.txt also with no change in preformance.

Also here’s my log if needed.
On a pi5 8gb installed on NVME, on 3.799 and latest version of this plugin. Whenever I reboot, it doesn’t automatically load up the weather and just displays time and date but no weather nor background [as configured], with a black background. An error message related to Chromium pops up in red. It usually does refresh itself at the next background reload or if I send a “Broadcast Refresh Command”.
On my pi4b, this doesn’t happen and everything loads instantly, once it loads the “Idle Screen”.
Daemon settings do not saves. Always 127… and sure do not load and work. Latest Volumio and Touch Display Plugin. What I have to do? Thanx.
I can’t find the path to copy &replace the config.json file. Did you change it? Please help me, thanks!

After installing new version, restore the backed up file to its original location. Then restart Volumio.

The swipe feature is really useful!
Can you add a function: swipe from right to left to go back (back button)?
Thanks!
Daemon settings do not saves. I input 192.168.1.101 (my Volumio) in both fields push save - saved - push settings again and my 192. again 127… What I have to do? Thanx.
