May be problem in plugin touch display?

I don’t think so. Need some time to look into this (problem is I can’t reproduce the issue).

Please, if anything more needs to be done to clarify the details, let me know.

I just really wanted to thank you for this plugin. The new Manifest UI is great and such a step up from Volumio 2, but this is just one step above even that, and the amount of customization you have enabled of the CSS is great. This achieves exactly what I was looking for in my use case … turning my Volumio client in my main listening space into an fully capable streamer with a polished Album Art and Metadata display built in. Finding a network streamer that had a big display, multi-room capability and USB connectivity to my integrated DAC/Amp was impossible, or incredibly expensive. Volumio now checks all of those boxes and your plugin is cherry on top. Thank you!

Exactly my thoughts. I smile at my tailored screen every time I hit play.

I really like this plugin. Can customize everything to my wishes. Nice size album art, blurry background editing, really good plugin. Free to select background. Much better than the default settings from Manifest in Volumio. No irritating artist information (most importend) and big cover (also importend to me)

Hi Patrick,

You have done great job. Thanks a lot.

I like your plugin and made small customization for fading background left to right(or oposit) and adding frame around cover and changing order of text parts. But I did it mainly by changing files, so maybe you could add it to settings?

Edit: here is result


Regards
Damian

Hi Patrick,

is there a way to change the background on the manifest, now I see a big background of the album
I want to make this darker, thanks…

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll consider adding this.

This is not provided by the Now Playing plugin, so I can’t help you here…

And make the background black?

Install the “Now Playing” plugin, as this will deliver everything you need to customize. The Manifest UI is build by Volumio, not the community.
Please contact support at volumio dot org
